“Rather than just thinking about what destination they want to see, there is a greater effort to think about things like how that trip affects the people and places travelers are visiting, how much they’re spending, and why they’re doing it.”

Becoming the Best Version of Yourself Through Pilgrimage

Two pilgrims looking out atop a mountain as a metaphor for becoming the best versions of themselves.

“Pilgrimage is a chance to pray, build fellowship, and worship in a space designed to heighten your awareness of the spiritual. It’s why many pilgrims discover that they gain a new sense of what God is calling them to do, whether it’s a relationship, a career, or difficulty they’re facing.”

Finding God in Silence

“Then the Lord said: Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord; the Lord will pass by. There was a strong and violent wind rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the Lord—but the Lord was not in the wind; after the wind, an earthquake—but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 after the earthquake, fire—but the Lord was not in the fire; after the fire, a light silent sound.” — 1 Kings 19:11 (NABRE)

“I feel so blessed to be doing what I love while also helping others explore the world and discover what God has in store for them. This recognition is affirmation to keep doing what we’re doing. We can’t wait to resume pilgrimages later this year and into 2022!”
