Trinity Camino

The Trinity Camino is a six-week walking pilgrimage in place

Taking inspiration from The Episcopal Church in Colorado, we are pleased to offer a flexible pilgrimage that people of all fitness levels can engage with wherever they are. While Caminos and pilgrimages usually mean leaving home for a time, the Trinity Camino is a pilgrimage in place. It will be a journey through the sacred spaces where we live, work, and worship. This pilgrimage begins and ends at your front door. Those who join the Trinity Camino are invited to discover walking as prayer and the sacredness of our bodies and the world around us.

A prayer for as you prepare to walk

the Journey Blessing

Bless to me, O God.

The earth beneath my foot,

Bless to me, O God,

The path whereon I go;

Bless to me, O God,

The thing of my desire;

Thou Evermore of evermore,

Bless Thou to me my rest.

Bless to me the thing

Whereon is set my mind

Suggestions for Pilgrimage Preparation

  • Begin or reaffirm a daily prayer practice. If you’d like suggestions and support in this, please email Nora Boerner.

  • Increase your movement. Take tiny small incremental steps to move more. And please do consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.

  • Try moving on purpose. Pay attention to each small movement in your feet as you walk. How do your hands feel as you move? What sounds do you hear? What can you visually notice that you don’t normally see?

Bless to me the thing

Whereon is set my love;

Bless to me the thing

Whereon is set my hope;

O thou King of kings;

Bless Thou to me mine eye!
