Pilgrimage 2025

We are going on a pilgrimage in 2025.

From Glastonbury to 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 or two, a week in person or walk from your home and connect with us.

Pilgrim
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.

Meet Us

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.

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.
