Gratitude Trek 2025 | Frequently Asked Questions

This season, we’re walking in gratitude.  The North Star Faith Community 21-Day Gratitude Trek is a soulful invitation to pause, move, and give thanks, one step at a time. From November 1st through November 30th, join women across the nation as we walk with intention, reflect on our blessings, and share kindness in our communities.  Each walk is a chance to strengthen your body, renew your spirit, and connect with others on the same journey of gratitude.  Together, we’ll complete 21 walks in 30 days,  and in the process, discover that gratitude truly is the path to joy.
