Marcus Borg periodically leads pilgrimages to countries and areas that are important to Christianity and other major world religions. The guided trips are offered by The Center for Spiritual Development, based in Portland, Oregon. The pilgrimages are rich opportunities to travel in community, learn about history and traditions of the past and reflect on how our traditions shape and inform our lives today. We bring attention and intention to our days and ask our participants to do the same.
