PILGRIMAGE trips
Pilgrimage is about traveling to "thin places" in community with others to connect with and experience God. A thin place is a term used for millennia to describe a place in time where the space between heaven and earth grows thin and seem to meet. This concept originated with the Celtic Christians, who were deeply connected to the natural world and considered every aspect of life to be infused with the presence of God.
The following pilgrimages are vacations with a purpose designed to give travelers a unique experience around various themes such as faith and work integration, spiritual formation, and vocational calling/discernment.
If you are part of a professional network or faith community and desire to participate in a group travel experience around these themes (or others), we can provide custom content, logistics, and facilitation depending on the desired outcomes for such a trip.

"The story of the Guinness family invited me to reconsider my core attitudes towards work and challenged my preconceptions of the divide between the sacred and secular. Once you have completed this journey, you will be encouraged that compassion need not be sacrificed on the altar of success”.

"Jon’s detailed knowledge of Ireland and the Guinness story made for a fantastic trip. We were immersed in the rich history of one family’s faith journey and passion to make a good product, while doing the most good in their community. It was a great opportunity for our group to invest a week in strengthening our fellowship, furthering our real world faith and work connections, and enjoying all the beauty Ireland has to offer. "
