Pilgrimage is a spiritual practice that is more than a walk. It is a journey with prayerful intention to be more than a tourist. It is an experience with prayerful attention to the Holy Spirit’s movements within.
Slow down with us on a 5.5-mile pilgrimage to reflect and connect with God in an urban context.
This retreat offers a rare chance to slow down, be present, and engage in a practice that has sustained pilgrims for centuries—a practice that nurtures spiritual growth by connecting movement with mindfulness, place with prayer, and community with solitude.
