We have created YAFA, which means “Beautiful” in Hebrew.
YAFA is a pilgrimage designed for women of all ages who seek healing, reconciliation, community, and a rediscovery of the feminine essence for which they were created.
This is a unique journey of spiritual and personal formation, combining in-person and online guidance, as we travel through Italy to discover the lives of great Italian women saints and participate in the Jubilee of Marian Spirituality.
It’s something new, inspiring, and significant — just what you’ve been waiting for.
As part of this experience, we will offer a series of 5 online formation sessions with experts in topics such as nutrition, purpose and meaning in life, authentic femininity and love, spiritual growth, and more.
We invite you to embrace this beautiful journey —
a program we’ve created with love and purpose in collaboration with Paso Santo, just for you.
