Pilgrimage is definitely having a moment, I am happy to say.
Reflective walking in nature with intention is NOT just for 'the religious' (I happen to wince at that term anyway). It's for ANYONE of any or no faith who wishes to step away from the daily routine of chores, screens, caring to spend time with themselves and others in the peace and beauty of nature. Powerful, transformative time.
Each year for the past three years I have been transformed inside and out by my experiences on pilgrimage.
🚶♀️My first 100km Portuguese Central Camino with WalkingWomen
🚶♀️Led to my second 700km solo Camino Portuguese Coastal
🚶♀️Led to my third and fourth Ingles and Muxia-Finisterre last year.
🚶♀️And now this year my greatest challenge yet,875km Camino Del Norte.
I need this annual reset. My mind, body and spirit thank me for the whole year.
Here in the stunning Peak District National Park, I can offer you a taste of Pilgrimage that may just start that process of transformation...
All my pilgrimages are on the Hope Walking website, so in calendar order:
👣26 August Shorter Dog Friendly Mills & Martyrs
👣12 September 8.5 mile Mills & Martyrs on National Heritage Open Day
👣Again on 31 October All Hallow’s Eve for anyone, but with a focus on unburdening grief and loss.
👣14 November our 9-mile Old Stones Pilgrimage with the British Pilgrimage Trust
👣21 November we have a brand new reflective shorter 4-hour journalling workshop and pilgrimage from Tideswell- details will be posted this week, just contact us to enquire.
👣2 January is our Janus new year pilgrimage. Exact details still to be confirmed.
Do let me know if you’d like to reserve your place on any,
