Walk with us and find out
who you want to be.
Pilgrimage 2025
We are going on a pilgrimage in 2025.
From Lands End, in Cornwall to Glastonbury and then further east towards Jerusalem
The vision for this pilgrimage was born in Glastonbury in 2018.
Now that we've met, it's time to begin.
Our mission is to walk across and beyond internal and external borders with people from different cultures to become who we really are.
To listen to ourselves, each other and Earth to create a way of living that works for all.
Join us for a day, a week in person or whenever you want, from your home.

Anja
I have always loved to walk.
In my twenties I enjoyed walking for the exertion and feeling of being alive and immersed in the beauty of nature.
In my thirties I spent my free time hiking and cycling as a balance to my work as a Computer Trainer and E-Learning Consultant.
Later when I left my IT work walking became a way of being for me.
Inspired by my meditation teacher I explored walking as a spiritual practice, and realized that while walking with Heaven under my feet I would always be gently held and guided in my life. Opening to the wider intelligence of nature and meeting the people and situations to become who I really am.
Walking has brought connection and love into my life. I wish to bring this as a service to the world.

I started walking recently, 2 years ago. My wife had died and I was completely devastated, surrounded by my friends and family but I needed to find meaning in my life again.
I went for a walk without knowing what it could bring me. During this walk, 70 days and 1800 km, I found myself and understood that in difficulties we need to find a connection with nature and with ourselves.
Subsequently during my pilgrimage, I opened up to others by trying as much as possible to share present moments.
Walking allowed me to start a new, enriching life open to others and connected to the present moment. I want to share this experience with the people we meet along the way.
In April 2024 we met while walking the Camino de Santiago.
We both love meeting people from different cultures and ways of life, have travelled extensively and are convinced that walking can be a way to bring out the best in each of us to create a way of being that works for all of us.
Walking to Become Whole
In addition to the obvious health benefits such as strengthening the heart and immune system and improving our mood, walking can be so much more.
Walking can help us reconnect with ourselves, with Earth and through Earth with our fellow human beings.
Walking can help us to become ourselves. Earth and the intelligence of nature become companions on our way.
Regular walking invites us to get out of our four walls, opens our minds and hearts to new perspectives and can spark our desire to live our inner nature.
Because that's what it's all about, that we become completely ourselves, in order to become part of the whole.
Walking has changed my life.
If you are looking for change, take your first step.
Every great success begins with the first step.

Collective Walking
In 2021, Collective Walking was born. To walk with people from different countries, each where we are, connected to each other through the heart.
We simply go for a walk and let our senses be activated by the nature that surrounds us. A nearby park, a small forest, your own garden, nature can be found almost everywhere.
After our walk we meet via Zoom.
An Experience: A small group of us goes for a collective walk every week. We walk for 30 minutes.
The subsequent exchange is often magical and beneficial for all of us on a deep level. We notice that we are learning to read the energy of the day, sometimes our sensations resonate. Our experiences of communing with our tree friends which we have found along the way, are taking us deeper into the fabric of life. We feel ready and prepared to meet life as it shows itself.
“The ‘Walk into the New Year’ Online Retreat was very inspiring and a brilliant framework for me individually, as well as for us as a group, to participate in the experience you offered. You've given me/us so much food for thought and reflection throughout this walking experience!
You made it possible for me to restore and deepen my connection with the Earth and to experience that what we see in nature is a mirror of what and who we are.”
