A Spiritually Guided Pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy

Assisi is calling.

Walk the ancient streets of Francis and Clare.
Enter a quieter rhythm.
Listen for what may be waiting to unfold.

Join Rev. Annie Bachelder for a spiritually guided pilgrimage being planned for Assisi, Italy, in Spring 2027.

Plans are still developing. Joining the list is free, does not reserve a space, and carries no obligation.
A different kind of return

The person who arrives /
The person who returns

We travel because something within us is ready to move. Assisi may change what you notice, what you carry, and how you return to your everyday life.

Who returns
Who arrives

What if part of you already recognizes this place?

A quiet invitation

What is calling you?

Every pilgrimage begins with a quiet invitation. Choose what feels closest to your heart right now.

Perhaps you do not need one more answer. Perhaps you need enough stillness to hear what is already within you.
Keep Me Informed About the Journey
A sacred experience in development

More than a trip.
A journey inward.

The developing pilgrimage is being shaped as an experience of sacred place, meaningful reflection, beauty, history, and room to breathe.

Sacred Assisi

Experience Assisi not simply as a destination, but as a living spiritual landscape.

Guided spiritual practice

Rev. Annie will offer reflections and spiritual exercises designed to help travelers engage inwardly with what they are encountering outwardly.

Local knowledge

Assisi-based guide Daniele Angeletti will help bring the history, sacred sites, culture, and stories of the region to life.

Meaningful community

Share the journey with others who are drawn to spiritual reflection, personal renewal, and a more intentional way of traveling.

Beauty, culture, and breathing room

The developing journey is being designed to include sacred places, Umbrian culture, shared meals, restorative moments, and time to experience Assisi personally.

What may be waiting

Guidance and local wisdom

A movement, not a schedule

The shape of the pilgrimage

Not a schedule. A movement from ordinary life toward a deeper way of seeing.

01

Arrival

Leave familiar rhythms behind and enter the landscape of Assisi.

02

Encounter

Walk through sacred places connected with Francis, Clare, and centuries of spiritual longing.

03

Deepening

Allow reflection, beauty, community, and silence to open something more personal.

04

Return

Carry the journey home—not as a memory alone, but as a different way of seeing.

Listen to Assisi

Pause for a moment. Listen to the bells, the birds, the footsteps, and the quiet beneath them.

Optional 60-second Assisi soundscape Audio is optional and will not play automatically.
