Guiding journeys of reflection, connection, and personal growth across sacred landscapes.

At Pilgrimage NZ we are dedicated to guiding individuals on transformative journeys in a range of significant and sacred places.

For the past two decades we have been on our own journey of understanding what pilgrimage can mean in our lives and to others. An important outcome of this has been to facilitate pilgrimage experiences at home and overseas for a range of people dealing with life transitions, seeking refreshment, adventure or a deeper understanding of faith, or desiring time for reflection away from everyday routines and preoccupations. Doing this transformational work in company with other pilgrims, whether friends or strangers, has provided additional satisfaction and challenge along the way.

Our pilgrimages are crafted to inspire personal growth and spiritual discovery, and there are always unexpected gifts for pilgrims. These may be answers to questions they didn’t know they had, or new insights into old problems. A site, a word, or a landscape, may open up old memories, experiences or wounds, and on pilgrimage there is time to reflect, pray, share or come to terms with them in transformative ways.

Wherever possible on all our pilgrimages, we seek opportunities to encounter locals and to engage with those who ‘own the stories’ of a site. This may involve worshipping with them, visiting their markets and community gathering places, listening to them with open hearts and minds, or sharing in their important work. It is always a privilege to draw close to local people who are grappling with their issues and working to transform their communities. We may come back changed and ready to raise awareness and support for those we’ve encountered on our journey.

Our newly-published guidebook of pilgrimage sites in Aotearoa New Zealand was a natural outworking of our learning and our desire to share this with others. We invite you to join us as we continue to explore the beauty and spirituality of our world.
