Pilgrimage preparation not only involves getting kit assembled and fitness levels elevated.
It also nudges or prompts us to attend to the inner journey. To explore the reasons we walk or the resolutions we seek along the way.
I'm available to hold space with and for you to assist your preparation for and processing of your pilgrimage experience.
This includes supporting your intention setting, your daily pilgrimage practices and the integration of your experience into the life you return to after the pilgrimage.

When I moved to the Isle of Mull I found myself missing the connection I often had in conversations with some friends in Glasgow about faith and spiritual wonderings.
It was at that time I finally, (I'd thought about it for a while), reached out to get myself a spiritual director. I met with them online and occasionally in person.
They asked me the questions that I needed to hear so as to attend to the deepening and the wellbeing of my soul. They helped me process and ponder and deepen my connection with the Divine.
It was such a formative and helpful experience that when I thought about accompanying folk on pilgrimage it made a lot of sense for me to get the skills and understanding of how best to hold space for folk going on an inner journey as well as an outer pilgrimage.
That has led to me training as a Spiritual Director with Sarum College. I now provide spiritual direction without the pilgrimage part. I meet with folks on Zoom as well as in person on the Isles of Mull and Iona.
And I'm thrilled to say that in 2026 I am introducing Spiritual Direction with Ponies.
I walked the Camino Primitivo in 2014 and it's no exaggeration to say it changed my life.
I went on to walk the West Highland Way and Cape Wrath trail back-to-back in 2016, which was no less a transformative experience.
Going on pilgrimage is how I've healed hurts, shifted stuckness and deepened my connection with the Divine.
Spiritual direction has provided the companionship for me to meaningfully process and integrate the inner journey.
I'd be honoured to hold space for and with you, whether to not you are a literal pilgrim.

Get in touch for an exploratory conversation. Together we can explore whether spiritual direction might help you get the most out of your pilgrimage experience. Or to explore online spiritual direction for the pilgrimage of life, even if you're not going on a literal pilgrimage journey.
