Full Registration—$495 (Member) | $595 (Non-Member)

• Community: Ideal for pilgrims who want to experience the Celebration alongside fellow attendees in a communal setting.

Commuter Registration—$250

Perfect for local attendees or those arranging off-site accommodation.

• Included: Meals (excluding breakfast) and full access to all Celebration sessions and activities.
