Retreat Description:
Your journey begins with a peaceful 2-day retreat just outside Florence, followed by a 6-day pilgrimage along the historic Via Francigena, an ancient trail winding through the rolling hills and quaint villages of Tuscany.
The retreat will begin on a gorgeous 150-acre estate with stunning views. You’ll enjoy inspiring teachings, thought-provoking group discussions, guided workouts, and plenty of quiet time to rest and reflect.
Once we set off on the pilgrimage, you can expect a refreshing blend of adventure, faith, food, and fun. Each night, we will stay at a breathtaking Tuscan village with wonderful lodging and multi-course dinners. You’ll leave restored, inspired, and ready to step into your next chapter with joy, purpose, and unforgettable memories.
The daily walks range from 4.5 miles – 10 miles. The path includes rolling hills with some slight incline and decline. We do recommend pre-trip training so you can fully enjoy the pilgrimage. We can arrange a taxi if you want to come but are concerned about the pilgrimage.
During this 8-day experience, you’ll:
-
Grow spiritually through daily teaching, reflection, and movement
-
Enjoy delicious meals designed to fuel your body and soul
-
Forge new friendships with others who desire a deeper walk with God
-
Gain clarity, vision, and encouragement for the road ahead
This experience is not a race; it’s about the journey. While most walks are along gently rolling hills, you’ll want to review the daily distances. If needed, taxis are available (not included) to help you shorten your walking time.
We’ll take care of transporting your luggage each day so you can simply enjoy the path before you, carrying only what you need for the day’s adventure.
If you’re craving an adventure in Italy that leaves you refreshed, renewed, and ready for what’s next, then sign up today!
