Bus leaves immediately after the 7:00 p.m. mass of the Lord’s Supper at the Shrine Chapel.

Pope Francis called us to embrace hope as a transformative force in our lives. This session offers a powerful response to this call, inviting us to reflect on the profound connection between body, mind and spirit, utilizing yoga, meditation and the contemplative labyrinth as a path towards inner peace and a deeper connection with the divine presence.

The Catholic tradition has always understood the human person as undivided: Body, mind, and soul woven together in love. From kneeling and genuflecting, to fasting, chanting, and pilgrimage, the Church has long known what modern neuroscience is rediscovering: the body is not separate from prayer—it is one of its primary instruments.

This yoga pilgrimage, guided by Jenn Kanwischer and hosted by The Sanctum Project, draws from that ancient wisdom. Through gentle, contemplative yoga, we will explore the body as a dwelling place of God—not something to overcome, but something through which grace is received. Movement becomes prayer. Breath becomes listening. Stillness becomes communion.

Following the yoga practice, we will enter into a labyrinth meditation, a form of walking prayer that predates Christianity and was later embraced by the early Church. Labyrinths were used by pilgrims who could not travel to Jerusalem, offering a symbolic journey inward: releasing what weighs us down; receiving at the sacred center; returning renewed to the world.

The donation for this pilgrimage is $20.00 and includes lunch.
