Soul of a Pilgrim Online Retreat in Community

with Christine & John Valters Paintner, and Jamie Marich

Facilitated by Melissa Layer and Amber Andreasen

April 13-June 7, 2020

You are also warmly invited to join us for The Soul of a Pilgrim, an online retreat in community starting April 13 for 8 weeks. We will deepen into our exploration of what it means to be a pilgrim in these challenging times and what wisdom the pilgrim way has to offer us and our world. Christine will be doing a weekly live session and our forum will be lovingly facilitated. Lots of creative practices as well. There is a sliding scale, so anyone who wants to is encouraged to join our sacred caravan through the wilderness.
