Mini-Retreats and Workshops
Pilgrimage In-Persons are envisioned as Pilgrimage outreach events, to encourage members of The Pilgrimage community (“In Person hosts”) by providing an opportunity for them to introduce their local family, friends and even local churches to the work of The Pilgrimage.
In-Persons will be free of charge to attendees, with free-will donations encouraged. Hosts agree that, as part of the program, Jennifer Layte will explain the work of The Pilgrimage further and encourage people to join the monthly donor association, Pilgrimage Outfitters. Additionally, hosts will provide a location for the event, and depending on time of day, will also provide accommodation for Jenn. Mileage/travel reimbursement will be requested.
If you live in New England , New York, or Pennsylvania, In-Person dates may be negotiated directly with Jennifer, with a preference for weekdays/evenings. Please inquire below if you are interested.
