What is an Online Pilgrimage?

Since 2020, and global lockdowns, it’s not a surprise to find most things available online. But a pilgrimage… how does that work?

In coming together to create this business, two things we have in common are a long history of healing from different experiences (physical, emotional and otherwise), and a love of walking and the outdoors.

As we considered what it was we wanted to offer, pilgrimage drew us strongly, as did a course about healing, without telling people how to heal, because no one knows better than you what’s best for your body and soul. Anyone who has been through grief, long-term illness, or abuse, for instance, will know that the process of healing can be long and is rarely linear. Moments of clarity and well-being can be followed by a relapse, unveiling deeper layers yet to be explored.

We spotted a rhythm, a structure, inherent to pilgrimage, which involves going inward (exploration), releasing, and finally integration. The nature of pilgrimage allows each participant to explore within a pre-existing container (i.e. the route). The structure provides the parameters; what happens within it is unique to the individual. Just like life.

What has emerged is a course designed with the energy and flow of pilgrimage, guiding people through specific themes and shared way markers, without directing the HOW. Each module is organized to reflect this rhythm, designed around a theme. Each monthly theme expands on and intersects with the annual theme (the theme for 2026 is Freedom).

The rhythm and structure of the pilgrimage ties in with its purpose: going inwards, connecting, releasing, slowing down, and taking intentional steps. Commitment to presence is part of the path, getting into the body, fostering a feeling of being at home in the world. The outer experience reflects the inner journey.

This six-month online exploration is designed with the energy of pilgrimage at its core, whether yours is more inward facing, through one of life’s passages or an outward journey through space and time. It is designed to be worked through at your own pace, including regular live calls with us, your guides, to ask questions and explore different perspectives with fellow pilgrims.

On a pilgrimage, only you can put your boots on, decide to take the next step, or choose what nourishment you take en route. We have kept this firmly in mind throughout, knowing self-responsibility is at the heart of lasting change. What you commit to with conscious intention plants seeds that one day bear beautiful fruit.

We are here to offer tips and tools we’ve learned along the way, which you can choose to incorporate if they’re a good fit. The regular live calls are designed to create a sense of community, where you can ask questions, share your insights, and connect with others on the pilgrimage.
