Spiritual preparation
Spiritual preparation cycle 2026 – Registration
Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is not just about visiting a place to admire its artistic or cultural treasures. Setting out on a pilgrimage is a way of meeting ourselves, an action that also opens our hearts to stepping outside ourselves to meet God.
To help you integrate a spiritual dimension into your next 2026 Jacobean adventure, the Société Française des amis de Saint Jacques de Compostelle is organizing, at the association’s headquarters, 8 bis rue Jean Bart-75006 Paris, 3 spiritual preparation sessions for the Way from 10:30 to 12:00 on Saturdays January 17, March 14 and October 17.
