Heartly invitation to the Ecumenical Pilgrim Accompaniment Training 2025. The training is organized by the Ökumenische Pilgerinitiative Vorpommern e.V. and is aimed at anyone interested in accompanying pilgrim groups on the trails and supports participants in developing spiritual, organizational and social skills. The pilgrim guide training is offered in two parts. The theoretical parts will take place in Stralsund at the Church of the Holy Trinity. 

The first part of the training will take place in spring 2025, from March 6 to 9. The second part will follow in autumn, from 23 to 26 October 2025. 

Between the two training blocks, in the summer, participants will complete the practical part of the training consisting of a self-organized day pilgrimage. This practical part makes it possible to apply what they have learned directly in practice and to reflect on and deepen their experiences later in the second theoretical part.

The cost of the entire training course is €350 and includes accommodation and meals.
