Physical Pilgrimages
“Physical pilgrimages” are pilgrimages that include travel. This page describes three options for physical pilgrimages: moving around a home or garden, moving around a neighbourhood, or travelling further afield.
Shimmering pilgrimages
Two “Shimmering Pilgrimages” took place in Advent 2025 and Lent 2026. These involved participants taking one or more prayerful, contemplative journeys to allow God to speak through His creation.
During the pilgrimage, particpants reflected on any Scripture, thoughts or experiences that were on their hearts. The photo shows early sun catching a bedspread and looking like desert dunes. This prompted meditation on Jesus’ temptation in the desert.

A pilgrimage around a church
Pilgrimages can be undertaken in specific premises.
