Prairie Pilgrimage 2026

“Seeking the Extra in Ordinary”

July 27 – 31 in and around Saskatoon, SK, Treaty Six Territory

Join pilgrimage guides Carolyn & Blaine Woodall and GreenSpirit Chaplain Shawn Sanford Beck, in partnership with the Oliver & Gruchy Learning Centre, St. Andrew’s College, for a five-day spiritual exploration of Saskatoon, its beautiful river, and its surrounding lands.

We will travel from St. Andrew’s College, through urban greenspace, along the South Saskatchewan River and the Meewasin Valley Trails, sojourning in church-space and cemetery, exploring the beauty of Wanuskewin, Ancient Spirals, and Beaver Creek. The time will include two longer walking days, and three shorter day walks.  

We will be joined by wise guests and guides who will help us engage creation and creativity, Indigenous spirituality, the “Man of the Trees” Richard St. Barbe Baker, NeoPagan Earthen traditions, Celtic Christianity, Labyrinth mysteries, and more.  

Space is limited to nine pilgrims, who are also eligible to earn a Certificate in Spiritual Exploration through St. Andrew’s College if so desired.  Cost is $1000, includes food, lodging, program, and internal transportation when needed. Register by June 1.
