 Transformational retreats for women ready to step into their next chapter.

Via Francigena

Walking Retreat 2026

Via Francigena — Tuscany (Lucca to Siena)
10 days | Spring 2026


Connect with yourself and a group of like-minded women as you follow the path of countless other pilgrims through Tuscany's rolling hills, vineyards, and medieval villages. Our journey will culminate with two restorative days at a luxurious Tuscan villa.

The Pilgrimage Retreat Includes:

✦ Walking an ancient path

The Via Francigena has hosted countless pilgrims on spiritual journeys through Tuscany

✦ Single-room accommodations

Enjoy community connection as well as the privacy you need

✦ Soulful experiences

Wine & olive oil tastings, meditation, massage, local thermal hot springs, and moments of stillness that deepen your journey

✦ Transformative coaching throughout

Before, during, and after your walk, so the insights you receive turn into lasting transformation

✦ Luxury at the right moments

3- and 4-star hotels along the way, with an unforgettable villa stay at the end (pool, chefs, yoga, and massage included)

Why Pilgrimage?

Sometimes we need to walk away from the noise of everyday life to hear what’s true again.

Pellegrina’s retreats and pilgrimage journeys offer sacred space to slow down, reflect, release, and return to yourself.

On the path, our only job is to put one foot in front of the other. This allows us to practice being present, bringing awareness to our thoughts and limiting beliefs, and becoming clear about our deepest intentions. 

We take in the fresh air and open sky, the trees and vast landscapes, ancient villages and new people. 

We release what is no longer for us, creating space for a new way of living: guided by inner Truth and higher Self.   

Reasons to Walk a Pilgrimage Retreat

You are feeling stuck… 

✦ Is there someone you want to forgive? 

✦ Do you feel lost and without a sense of purpose?

✦ Are you burnt out, nervous system shot, can’t remember who you are anymore?

✦ Do you need to get away, a change of scenery to see things differently?

✦ Does your life need a jumpstart? 

✦ Is your past holding you back?

✦ Do you have a dream that you can’t seem to bring to life?

✦ Do you tend to expect things to go badly for you, and feel unworthy of good things?


You are longing for more…

✦ Do you yearn to experience presence, stillness, and peace? 

✦ Would you like to connect with like-minded women, also on a path of growth? 

✦ Do you dream of travelling but want a more meaningful experience?


If any of these feels relevant, a walking pilgrimage retreat may be the transformative experience your soul is craving.

Who These Retreats Are For

These journeys are for women who are ready to:


✦ Step away from roles, routines, and expectations that no longer fit


✦ Reconnect with their bodies, spirits, and inner voices


✦ Travel not just for scenery, but for soul


✦ Walk with curiosity, courage, and open-heartedness

No prior hiking or pilgrimage experience required — just a willingness to journey both outward and inward.

  • Not at all. These retreats are designed for women of all levels. We’ll walk at a steady but gentle pace, with coaching woven in.

  • Each retreat is intimate, usually 8–12 women, so you receive both community and personal attention.

  • Yes — single accommodations are included every night.

  • Many women do! You’ll find instant companionship in the group while also having space for solitude.

  • Depending on which trail and how many walking days, we will walk 80-175 miles. The average daily distance is 12 miles.

  • Absolutely not! More than 40% of camino pilgrims are between the ages of 45-65. It will be important to train in advance for distances like these, but Pellegrina will provide a training plan to build your endurance and condition your body. 

From the Latin peregrinus, “traveler” or “wanderer”

Pilgrimage (noun)

A journey to a sacred place, taken on foot or in spirit, often across great distance, with the purpose of transformation.

Our walking retreats are not about reaching the end of the path.
They are about grounding yourself with every step.

If you feel the pull — the whisper in your heart that there’s something more — this journey may be for you.
