OUR STORY
Coming Into Being
Something profoundly relational happens when we bring the whole of who we are into the world around us at the human speed of 3 miles per hour. Our perspective shifts, and we come to experience ourselves in the environment differently, journeying not only through the natural space, but also the society entrusted to steward it.
Walking paths possess archeology established by all those who have walked before us. From animal paths to the first nations people who stewarded this land, to rails and roads, to modern highways, the way we move across land and culture shapes the way we build and understand collective memory.
We are a diverse and growing community of self-described pilgrims, hikers, and sojourners. We walk to nurture connection, to honor others, to clarify purpose, and to deepen faith. We also walk to find healing, bridge divides, and recognize the sacred work of stewarding the land.
OUR VISION
Preservation & Stewardship
We envision the Camino de Sonoma becoming an enduring route for people from all over the world to come experience the power of walking with intention along
a spiritually significant, culturally compelling and breathtakingly beautiful path.
We are committed to stewarding a space that nurtures healing in our lives and in the land, so that:
-divisions can be healed
-connections can be made
-and purpose can be revealed.
We foresee the extraordinary natural beauty of this land and the exceptional hospitality of the people who call it home making the Camino de Sonoma a globally known and desired destination for pilgrimage.
