Pilgrimage is not only a community of diverse people, it is also a collection of diverse activities. We are building a deeper connection to ourselves, becoming more present to each other, and acting collectively on behalf of the world we all live in.
Here is a summary of some of the things we are doing. We are adding activities all the time. Let us know what you are looking for and we will see if we can help you find it.
There are two events that happen every week.
Meditation as Prayer
This is a chance to spend a few minutes, mid-week, in quiet reflection, with others, at times around an inspirational text or scripture and at other times about whatever we bring to the time together. When we have used texts, they have come from the Revised Common Lectionary, considered verses from the Tao Te Ching and the Analects of Confucious, and the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas.
We meet by Zoom on Thursday afternoons at 5:00 Central time. We start the guided meditation at about 5:15 and then share with each other what is coming up for us that we want others to know. We will end by 6:00.
To join, go to the St. Louis Meetup and sign up and enter your email in the Google Form on the signup page. You will get an email each week with a reminder and the Zoom link.

Living with Intention
We meet by Zoom every Sunday evening from 6:30 to no later than 8:30. This conversation that has been going on for four years now. It is currently closed to new members, but if you are interested, show up for Sunday morning and get to know the community and we will let you know when the evening group opens up.
The conversation is about our own transformation into the fullest people we can be, with the healthiest relationships to ourselves and others, in the context of a community that is dedicated to the growth of everyone.
We chat from 6:30 to 7:00 and then we meditate for about five minutes to create a transition to a deeper conversation. We meet using a conversation style called circle in which only the person with the virtual talking piece speaks. The focus of the conversation arises from the experiences that members bring each week.
At about 8:15 we start to close with the last comments and then we meditate again to close the session.
