The challenge and privilege of being a pilgrim
is to be - just there, awake in heart and mind
in the stillness between earth and heaven, in
present and contemporary time.

The best preserved monastery in Norway is
located in beautiful nature - a national heritage
site. Historically, Utstein is mentioned as early
as the 11th century - then as a royal estate to
King Harald Fairhair.
