Introducing Pathways, a place to find restoration & purpose.

Transformative experiences through guided hikes, retreats, and pilgrimages.

Our Approach

At Pathways, transformation unfolds step by step. It happens along quiet trails, through shared conversations, and within intentional rhythms. Our guided hikes, retreats, and pilgrimages create space to disconnect from distraction, reflect deeply, and grow in relationship with God, ourselves, and one another.

Walking Together

Each Pathways journey is a safe space to process, reflect, and be met with compassion. Whether in silence or around a fire, we walk with others who help shoulder what we cannot carry alone. These shared experiences offer healing and remind us we’re not meant to walk alone.

Where We’re Walking

Our retreats take place in landscapes that invite reflection. Ancient paths and hidden trails where the soul can breathe. From the historic Camino de Santiago in Spain to the emerging hiking routes of Southeastern Europe, each journey is rooted in place. We walk through quiet forests, mountain passes, and centuries-old villages. These are spaces that hold stories of pilgrimage, resilience, and renewal.
