Welcome, beautiful pilgrim!
We're so glad you found your way here.
We are passionate about supporting midlife women as they uncover the next stage of their path. Using pilgrimage as a structure to hold it all together, and inspiration from our own experiences, we provide tools from energy work, yoga, shiatsu and more, to help maintain balance through change.
This is not about change we're encouraged to make that feels externally-driven, to fulfil a role, or to fit a preconceived idea of what is right, good or true.
This change comes from a deeper place.
Maybe a life event, such as grief and loss, calls for us to finally care for ourselves.
Perhaps hormonal changes (such as menopause and perimenopause) rewrite our reality for a while, teaching us new things about ourselves, causing us to question if we're the same person we were when the transition began.
Or is it less tangible, as if something fundamental is transforming within, a soul-led desire for newness and freedom?
This is the kind of change that profoundly shifts our inner landscape, leaving us unclear on our place and purpose in the world.
It can shake us to our core and lead us to question what we know about ourselves.
Ultimately, it leads us to our freedom.
To be clear
There is nothing wrong with who you are, as you are right now.
We are not asking you to change. We are here to provide a supportive context for you through whatever changes are already in motion.
And we are so happy you found your way here!
We invite you to join us for a 6-month online pilgrimage exploring the concept of freedom as it interweaves with the themes of passion, love, home, union, courage and well-being. Monthly modules include tips, tools, conversations, live group calls and questions for a deeper dive.
The first 2 weeks are free.

Your pilgrimage guides
We are Jenny and Catriona, two mid-life women whose life trajectories have been paused by different circumstances – funnelled towards healing ourselves, exploring available routes, including outside the norm.
Through surrendering and listening to our bodies’ wisdom, we have found different paths to freedom, well-being and a sense of self. We are excited to share what we’ve learned along the way.
We’ve been through the profound inner changes that come of pausing (intentionally or not), and reinventing concepts of self as a result or necessity.
Alongside our diverse training and experience, we understand the value of honouring our own experiences as teaching and learning tools.
For example: what brings us alive and helps us find passion and purpose? How do we love who we are through it all? How do we learn that there is space for different perspectives, to understand different truths and to help each other? How do we find where we are most at home, in our bodies and in our lives?
We know the courage it takes to move through change, to admit we don’t have the answers, to ask for and to receive help, to take responsibility, to change course and to find a different way than the sameness we might choose in comfort. We celebrate well-being as connection to a state within, not perfection.
We offer our experiences as examples to inspire, rather than using them as a template for others. We encourage pilgrims to trust their own sense of self and learned wisdom.
Our online pilgrimage brings all this together in one place, allowing the flow and structure of the pilgrimage to act as support, holding space for each pilgrim to find their own way.

The theme for 2026 is Freedom, which you are invited to define for yourself. That personal definition lays a foundation for the rest of your pilgrimage, as we move on to explore passion, love, union, home, courage and well-being.

We'd love to have you along!
