Deepen Your Experience
Join Us on Pilgrimage
Walk in the footsteps of enslaved peoples in Virginia. Follow their journeys, learn their stories, and imagine their lives. Our pilgrimage will take us from Alexandria to Richmond, Charlottesville, Monticello, and the Corhaven Graveyard (where the Repentance Project began). The Repentance Project is co-sponsoring this pilgrimage with Coracle. To be notified of future pilgrimages, email karla@inthecoracle.org.
