for those who feel the pull—not to escape, but to return.
to walk slowly. to speak honestly. to remember through presence.
we bring together no more than twelve souls at a time
to walk the sacred paths of 日本—
led by Divine Mother a spiritual teacher a meditator a yoga teacher an intuitive a coach a healer a shaman
who holds space rather than stage.
denomination doesn’t matter. presence does.
this is not a retreat. not a tour.
this is a pilgrimage.
we go not just to move—but to be moved.

the way we walk
in 日本, pilgrimage is encoded in the land.
四国’s 88 temples.
the ancient trails of 熊野古道.
the quiet wisdom that says:
the environment is greater than one’s will.
over the course of 10 to 12 days,
we walk from inn to inn—lightly, with only a day pack.
your belongings are carried ahead. your attention stays here.
each day unfolds with a simple rhythm:
we walk—to move energy, loosen the mind, meet the land.
we talk—to reflect and be reflected, walking in pairs, rotating partners.
we meditate—when the silence deepens, when the group feels it.
sometimes seated. sometimes standing. always together.
but this isn’t a program.
there’s no fixed curriculum.
the teacher brings their own way—through story, stillness, asana, presence.
what happens, happens. what doesn’t, doesn’t need to.
some days invite silence. some days laughter.
some moments are shared. some are utterly your own.
along the path, something begins to fall away.
not knowledge—but knowing.
not truths—but the layers that cling to them.
this isn’t about becoming someone.
it’s about unbecoming everything you’re not.
like the snake who doesn’t mourn the skin it leaves behind.
at day’s end, we gather for one conversation around one table.
no side talk. no performance. just the circle—whole.
when onsens appear on the route, we bathe in them.
when shrines appear, we bow in.

this is not a vacation
this is deep inner work—with the body as vessel and the road as mirror.
how far you go inward is up to you.
we offer the container. the rest is yours.

giving as practice
𝕡𝕚𝕝𝕘𝕣𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕖 is sustained by transparency and trust.
all shared costs—lodging, meals, transport—are laid open.
you pay only your part. nothing added. nothing hidden.
beyond that, we invite open giving.
not as obligation—but as gratitude.
offer what you feel moved to offer:
a donation to the teacher.
a contribution to 𝕡𝕚𝕝𝕘𝕣𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕖.
a gift forward to the next pilgrims who walk this path.
not as payment—
but as a reflection of what this journey opened in you.
not to keep the walk going—
but because the walk gave something worth sharing.
this is how we honor the path.
by letting it ripple outward.

and when the pilgrimage ends, something else begins.
the walk stays with you.
the silence echoes.
the presence remains.
so if you feel it—
that subtle stirring in your chest,
that small whisper that says yes—
then maybe it’s time.
the path has always been before you.
now it’s asking you to walk it.
come walk the path toward what’s always been before you—
together with us.
