Camino de Sonoma
Walk in the footsteps of the land and its people

About the Program

The Camino de Sonoma is a 75-mile walk from the  Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma to the Russian Orthodox Chapel in Fort Ross State Historic Park. It offers those who travel it an embodied experience that is physical, spiritual, historical, agricultural, environmental, communal, and cultural. The Camino de Sonoma stretches across the ancestral lands of Coast Miwok, Wappo, Southern Pomo and Kashia Pomo. This route takes in the unique history of this land where indigenous tribes were confronted by colonial culture from both the East and West.

Journey Italy
Walk in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare

About the Program

St. Francis of Assisi’s radical life inspired a tectonic shift in the Church 800 years ago, the effects of which are still felt today. On Journey Italy, we walk in the footsteps of young Francis and his friend Clare who gave up lives of nobility to live in poverty with community serving the sick, poor, and needy.



Learning from St. Francis and St. Clare gives us the opportunity to consider where we are at in their faith journey, and what moves we might make to live their lives more authentically and fully in pursuit of Christ. General: $2,195 Bring a spouse/friend: $1,995
