This ‘camino’ experience provides an opportunity for encountering Ignatian Spirituality, discerning, and listening to God’s presence in Nature. Step aside from everyday life, walk, reflect, experience nature day after day, time in silence, conversation and listening to God’s presence.
As a small group of pilgrims, you will walk part of the route in South Australia taken by the first Jesuits who arrived in 1848. This Australian Ignatian Trail pilgrimages journey through townships such as Kapunda, Tarlee, Riverton, Auburn, and finish at Sevenhill where the Jesuits established the first vineyard of Clare Valley in 1851.
A moderate level of walking fitness and overall good health is essential. Each day the walking includes undulating terrain on quiet, dirt roads and established trails of between 15km and 22km each day for four days for the short pilgrimage.
The group will be supported by two Australian Ignatian Trail leaders from JISA’s Being with God in Nature ministry.
