About this Online Pilgrimage Retreat:

Pilgrimage is a sacred journey—a movement that brings you toward your most authentic self. To be a pilgrim—whether at home or abroad—begins with exploring what is most deeply meaningful to you and why.

Transform your life ‘from the inside out’ with pilgrimage ritual and practice and the Courage & Renewal® Approach to greater alignment between your deepest values and your action in the world. Learn how the Art of Pilgrimage can support you to gain clarity, courage, and resilience through personal and professional transition. As you change from within, you help to create a more beautiful and sustainable community and world.

Each online pilgrimage retreat offers reflection individually and in small groups, and spacious time to gain insights from journaling, poetry, video, and various wisdom traditions. We will integrate generous pauses to minimize screen time for participants via the Zoom videoconference platform.
