Intention
Together, we will learn about each others heritage of spiritual companionship. Together we will co-create a pilgrimage community of interfaith compassion, connection, and peace. Together we will discover, grow, and be transformed by the sacred history and current culture of Israel and Palestine. Together we will    contribute contemplative gifts of peace to Israel and Palestine with our prayers and presence.

Opportunity to Walk as Interfaith Spiritual Companions
Whether this is your first time to Israel and Palestine or you have visited many times, this pilgrimage is unique. Our pilgrimage guides and hosts bring sacred gifts for telling stories about spiritual companionship, and we are blessed with their abilities to speak many languages (The pilgrimage will be conducted in English, and our guides also speak Arabic, French, Hebrew, Italian, and Spanish). We will walk slowly through the streets of Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Safed, the home of Jewish mystics. We will journey to the Dead Sea and have the option to swim — or really float — and benefit from the healing properties of Dead Sea mud. We will journey to the Mount of Beatitudes and Korazim for meditation and prayer.

Basic Schedule for the Pilgrimage
Each day begins and ends with group meditation, prayer, and includes time for sharing. With few exceptions, each morning will combine a walking tour and teaching. Most afternoons will be unstructured, allowing time for exploration, rest, sketching, journaling, and usually with a group meditation before dinner. Our schedule will be flexible to accommodate our needs as we journey together in outer and inner realms of the sacred. We will not only grow in awareness of the ancient heritage of spiritual companionship, but also become spiritual companions for each other as fellow pilgrims during each day.
