Upcoming Availability on Pilgrimage
Something New!Nothing new with the programming, but as I try to more appropriately organize the work of the Pilgrimage in 2025 (our 10th anniversary year!) I will be sending out periodic (probably monthly) short-form updates with scheduling options for you. Normally they won't have quite the following level of information. If you would prefer not to get these updates but would still like to receive the every-other-month newsletter, please make sure you manage your subscription via the "unsubscribe" button below. (The next newsletter should hit your inbox a week from Friday.) Follower: How Getting Close to Jesus Brings You to Yourself is on sale now!
Whether you own or have read the book or not, you're welcome to join my friend Jeff Lewis and me as we talk about it live online this Wednesday. (There's another online live coming up in June, so stay tuned for that, too.) The Walk begins next weekThere are two cohorts running from the beginning of May through the end of June. Thursday evenings (7-9PM Eastern) begin May 1st. Fridays midday (11AM-1PM Eastern) begin May 2nd. There are up to four places still available in each cohort. Due to projected scheduling situations next spring, it is possible that The Walk class will not be happening in 2026, so if you were hoping to take this course in the near future, now is the time!
Spiritual Direction AvailabilityVarying times, Tuesdays through Fridays. (I was trying to embed my calendar in here, but couldn't get it to work. Maybe one of these months I'll figure it out!)

Today is the first day of full-time The Pilgrimage! I have a new Pilgrimage email address! (Hopefully this didn't end up in your spam filter.) I'm now working on Mondays for the first time in about seven years so I can commiserate with all the "Monday" memes! The Listening Post resumes tomorrow! (Considering how late I completed writing this thing and when I'm sending it, for some of you I suppose it might be "today" already.) I hope you're going to join us for one of these. We'll meet from...
If Only They Could All Go Like This Ever since our friend Rebecca and her parents took us to a New Hampshire restaurant run by a British couple who made the most quintessential fish 'n' chips on the planet, Paul and I have a running joke about platonic ideals. This week the platonic ideal of a Pilgrimage sign-up happened, as follows: I posted something on a social medium. (I don't know which one. I don't even know what I posted.) One of my online acquaintances saw said post, noticed that it...
It's time to try something different...and so behold: the Layte annual Christmas letter in digital form! Thanks for reading our news. Thanks for sending us yours. Home and Family In March, Paul and I took the dogs to chilly Portland, Maine, to celebrate our 12th anniversary weekend. I got to introduce Paul to Popham Beach, where my mom's side of the family used to vacation when I was a kid. We're grateful for--and continuing to enjoy!--our life together and are looking forward to the next...
