Before You Walk
We encourage you to use the PDF journal before you head out.
This walk will explore Francis and Clare’s relinquishment of their wealth and privilege. As a way to immerse yourself in the story, we invite you before you begin to intentionally take off jewelry, clothing, wallets, or other items that connote wealth and privilege to you.
