Housing, Food and Packing FAQs

Logistics – Transportation – Map

For pilgrims planning to join us just for 1 day, please plan to provide your own food and join us most evenings at 6:30 for the community potluck.

For pilgrims joining us for multiple days, breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided. Please bring personal snacks. Please indicate on the logistics form your dietary restrictions and we’ll do our best to accommodate all needs.

If you live along the pipeline route, please invite your friends, fellow activists, congregation, and anyone else to the community potluck each evening!

We are grateful to churches and other organizations for opening their doors to our pilgrims. We have made arrangements with churches and retreat centers along our route to arrange for housing. Please note that living conditions during the pilgrimage will be sparse – we will be sleeping on the floor and showers may not be available.

We will have a support vehicle accompanying our pilgrimage to give a lift to weary pilgrims, transport gear, and shuttle people back to their cars at the end of the day.

Pack lightly as we can’t guarantee we will have space in the support vehicle for everyone’s belonging and you may need to carry your things as we walk.
