Women’s Pilgrimage to Italy - April 2027
What to Expect
This pilgrimage is a sacred, unhurried journey designed to create space for renewal, reflection, and deeper connection with God and yourself. Together, we will “travel mindfully” through some of Italy’s most spiritually significant places, including Rome, Assisi, Siena, and Florence, where the lives and witness of women like St. Clare of Assisi, St. Catherine of Siena and female martyrs in Rome continue to echo. As we journey together, you’ll step into a rhythm that invites you to slow down, listen, and be spiritually formed to a truer version of God’s design for you.
Questions to ask in order to prayerfully discern if this trip is for you:
If you could set aside the 'roles' you play for ten days, who is the woman waiting to emerge? Is there a longing you are yet to discover?
When was the last time you moved at a pace that allowed your soul to catch up with your body?
Do you desire to pivot from “transactional travel" to "transformational legacy”, and bring back to your community a truer version of yourself?
In a world that often overlooks the wisdom of those gone before us, what might it feel like to walk where women’s voices have shaped history for centuries?
