TAKE YOUR TIME TO… GO ON A PILGRIMAGE

BY ITS NATURE, A PILGRIMAGE IS A MINDFUL PRACTICE, AND ONE UNDERTAKEN IN THE UK SINCE PAGAN TIMES. TURN A WALK INTO A ‘JOURNEY WITH PURPOSE’ BY DEDICATING IT TO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE OR SETTING AN INTENTION TO GIVE THANKS OR ASK FOR HELP. PICK YOUR OWN ROUTE OR FOLLOW AN ESTABLISHED ANCIENT PILGRIM ROUTE, OFTEN TAKING IN SACRED PLACES, BOTH NATURAL AND MANMADE. THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST LISTS WALKS FROM ONE DAY TO THREE MONTHS, SUCH AS THE NORTH WALES PILGRIMS WAY AND ST HILDA’S WAY, WHICH SWEEPS OVER THE NORTH YORK MOORS FROM HINDERWELL TO WHITBY ABBEY (BRITISHPILGRIMAGE.ORG).
