Hi, I’m Dillon Petrarca—husband, father, follower of Jesus, and the founder of Pilgrim Experiences.

This all started with a simple desire: to create space.

• Space to slow down.

• To connect with God.

• To step away from the noise of life and remember what really matters.

For the past few years, this has been a deep desire for my family. We've felt the need to slow down, to be more present, and to seek God in the everyday. That desire has led to some big changes in our own lives—changes that created space for more intentional rhythms, deeper connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.

And now, that same longing has grown into this. What I️ believe is a chance for people to breathe, to adventure, and to encounter God in fresh and meaningful ways.

Pilgrim Experiences was born from this foundation.

These experiences will be Christ-centered journeys meant to stir your soul. Whether you're watching the sunrise on one of our retreat cruises, exploring a new destination, or listening to a teaching from God’s Word, our offerings are crafted to help you connect with God, with others, and with the purpose you were created for.

My hope?

That this becomes a movement—a generation of modern-day pilgrims who aren’t content with the status quo, but long to live with deeper purpose and intentional faith.

Thanks for being here.

Dillon Petrarca | President & Founder
