‘Pilgrimage’ is an intensive and unique 20-hour training programme designed to help leaders and teams understand and step into new levels of their potential.

New levels of potential require the engagement of all parts of ourselves. ‘Pilgrimage’ is therefore a carefully constructed process that begins with cognitive exercises and progresses from the analytical through the physical, emotional and spiritual, gradually engaging mind, body, heart and soul in a rich journey that generates lasting, multi-level impact and learning.

Individuals will experience breakthroughs in their understanding and experience of leadership and their own personal development edge. Typically this will include:

· The role of the leader

· The capacity to listen beyond the obvious

· Re-connection to core values

· New understanding of team-building and relationship building

· Personal peak performance

· Emotional development

· Connection to the inner self

Teams will  have a unique opportunity to renew, regenerate and/or formulate their collective sense of purpose and vision, and to heal where appropriate. Powerful new levels of trust and relationship will be generated.

In this time of increasingly urgent and complex global challenges ‘Pilgrimage’ has been designed to help individuals and teams find the inner resources necessary to meet fast-changing and ever more challenging scenarios.

The programme is gentle by nature, with very little that is physically taxing, and participants receive expert support and facilitation throughout. In order to support a steadily developing process and nurture breakthrough in understanding, we rest but do not sleep during the twenty hours and eat lightly but sufficiently. We work both indoors and outdoors through the night. Experiencing the power and beauty of nature with fresh eyes is a key part of the programme

What Previous Participants Have to Say

Below are quotes from participants who attended Pilgrimage as part of a leadership development programme for senior high-potential managers. This programme was delivered for a FTSE100 company, i.e. part of a group of the largest companies traded on the London Stock Market:

"I thought the Pilgrimage was an exercise that I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to participate in. Best session that I have had in my professional career.  One of those experiences that you can not get out of your mind.  These past few weeks have been very stressful, personally and professionally.  I keep going back to some of the techniques, etc, to help me through.  I would give this a 5 plus."


"It clearly allowed us to explore our values and our inner beings and open out minds to many emotions we generally lock away in our daily life. For me it helped clarify what affect certain events in my life were having on me and my behaviours. It also afforded me the chance to think though how I would approach and deal with these in the future."

"I returned home in very calm state and in fact it was commented on at home that they had never seen me that relaxed before ever, it provided me with time and space to think and listen truly without distraction. It taught me I had never done that properly before. It reinforced many of the things I had learnt about myself through the other session and cemented a level of self-confidence that I am really proud of. I know what and where I need to develop and what I am not prepared to change because it would change me and my values."
