Spring Living Stones Pilgrimage:

Study Tour in Palestine and Israel

April 7-19, 2024

A unique tour of witness and pilgrimage in the service of peace in the region a third of humanity call “The Holy Land”

This alternative travel study tour is an opportunity to escape the mass tourism experience of typical trips to the Holy Land. It is educational and cultural with a focus on the people (‘Living Stones’) who are working in this region for a just peace. This trip will encourage deep thinking, open minds, curiosity, and sensitivity to people living in this region.

During our tour we will visit many holy sites with the benefit of having an engaging early Christian History instructor with us. Our West Bank guide will introduce us to a wide range of Palestinians and Israelis who are working to make a difference and work for a peace that is sustainable and fair. You will have the opportunity to meet Christians, Jews, and Muslims who have incredible faith and are creating hope.

If you are curious, enjoy learning about culture, history, politics, human and environmental rights, and want to meet and engage with the people who live where you travel – this trip is for you!

Fall Living Stones Pilgrimage

October 28-November 8, 2024

On this trip we will visit some of the most important Holy Sites in the Holy Land. In addition we will meet with peacemakers working with youth, women, and the Palestinian community to nurture the conditions that will lead to justice for all in the Holy Land.

What contributes to a Living Stones Pilgrimage’s often most meaningful moments are those chances to connect with the people of the Holy Land — and we will have many of these, to hear their stories and to deepen our understanding of a fraught land.

We invite and welcome you to join us.
