Come away for a few days.
A Weekend Pilgrimage is a chance to slow down, breathe deeper, and encounter God in sacred spaces with others who are on the same journey. Over the course of the weekend, you'll move together from one prayerful experience to another: exploring contemplative and creative prayer practices, stepping into rich liturgies, and gathering for prayers with a missional heart.
Join us for a well-curated, unplugged weekend aimed at encountering God as Sabbath. Explore sacred, soulful, and playful practices to process, listen to God deeply, recharge, and reset. There will be contemplative prayer, creative liturgy, labyrinths, Spiritual Direction, meaningful interactions with other pilgrims, and plenty of time for just you and God one-on-one.
You'll share meals, laughter, and honest conversation with fellow participants of the 24-7 Prayer movement from across the South region. These days are designed to replenish what the ordinary pace of life quietly drains, and to remind you that you don't walk this road alone. Experiences take place in 24-7 Prayer public spaces and local monasteries. Come unplug and be poured into.
