Discover What Matters.

We want to host you on pilgrimage! But if travel doesn't suit you, we have other ways of serving your bookish heart. 

Join us for a "virtual Pilgrimage" experience offered through Our annual program, What Matters. 

In what matters, you can expect a clarifying and encouraging season of community, spiritual learning, self-reflection, and joy.

Through 28 weeks of What Matters, you’ll meet weekly with a consistent cohort of 24 students. You'll read in community, learn from spiritual leaders and artists, and build ownership and intention around your values.

The program is divided into three units, each focused on a different text. The curriculum is designed to give you the support and resources to discover what matters to you. In addition, you’ll experience one-on-one chaplaincy as well as storytelling guidance for your own writing.


What Matters is for you if:

  • You wish you had a guide in your spiritual journey

  • You’re looking for a sense of caring community

  • You want to grow in your activism

  • You are going through a transition

  • You are a bookworm who misses school

What Matters offers a bright light of community in a challenging world and has helped me stay anchored in what really matters to me: care, bravery, and hope.
