A space of hope by connecting movement with mindfulness, place with prayer, and community with solitude.
Pilgrimage is a spiritual practice that is more than a walk. It is a journey with prayerful intention to be more than tourists but truly embodied beings. 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.
