Join The Academy for Spiritual Formation on a sacred, six-day pilgrimage through Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma — walking the roads of history and hope. Guided by spiritual leaders and civil rights scholars, we will encounter sacred sites and stories that shaped the Civil Rights Movement, grounding ourselves in the ongoing call to justice and beloved community.
This pilgrimage is rooted in spiritual practice, with daily times of prayer, reflection, and group processing. It’s more than a trip — it’s an invitation to transformation.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” – James Baldwin
