Common Ground Pilgrimages

Immersive travel for the reader & wanderer

Together we’ll step into a beloved book, share in ritual and reflection, and return home carrying meaning that lasts. Join a small circle of fellow travelers for a retreat where reading, writing, and walking become pathways to connection, clarity, and renewal.

What our pilgrims are saying
Quote from pilgrim

“This was a truly magical, soul-filling experience I have had a hard time explaining to others. In a world that seems determined to make us feel isolated, spending a week with kind, intelligent, interesting people from around the world who are bound by the love of a book is a priceless experience.”

Quote from pilgrim

“Common Ground pilgrimages are a beautiful way to take some time away from my hectic life. I leave feeling more sure of myself, more creative, and inspired by the fantastic people I have met.”

Quotation 2

“If you’re on the fence about going, just go. You won’t regret it.”

Quote from pilgrim

“The magic of Common Ground pilgrimages is their ability to take a beloved novel and make it the foundation for an experience of renewal and expansion.”
