 I love opening registration envelopes and emails and dreaming about each new participant in one of our upcoming pilgrimage groups. Each registration represents another friendship, another pilgrim companion, and as I look over the details in the forms I begin to picture our upcoming walk together through forests and farms and historic towns, toward destinations rich in meaning.
It's true, a pilgrimage is a journey that calls us toward introspection and reflection. A pilgrimage at its best is also a journey of friendships over miles of shared experiences and meals and steps. At Pilgrim Paths we take pride in joining people together with new friends to share the best of Europe's great pilgrim paths. Our 2020 adventures are starting to fill up. Join us in the trip of a lifetime. - Sandy Brown, Pilgrim Paths
