Pilgrimages

Far Away Places, Congenial Companions and Food for the soul

Each year we arrange Journeys, Pilgrimages, accompanied by Christian leaders, to destinations connected with our work. The Travel Programme has been in existence since 2002 when our first pilgrimage to Russia took place.

These journeys are unique, offering the chance to experience for oneself the contexts, living traditions and cultural transformations taking place directly as a result of holy lives, in the company of someone experienced in the tradition and companions who share a common interest.

Last, but not least, the journeys make a donation to the charity for each traveller so friends who join the Travel Programme are helping to support time-critical work.

Current Programme

We plan our programme to offer travellers and pilgrims flexibility in creating their own itineraries. Each journey is offered as a self-contained ground package making it possible for travellers to combine packages. Our pilgrimages coincide with major Christian feasts, each of which has its own special and unique characteristics, providing an opportunity for you to experience the feast within this living tradition.

Spirit of Moscow
Over a period of three days we explore spiritual & historical sources of Russian spirituality.

Land of St Seraphim
We travel to the region from which the focus of the radius of effect of the saint's transfiguring life began, a land, both geographic and spiritual, these pilgrimages offer a way of deepening the connection between St Seraphim's inner landscape and our own.

In the Footsteps of St Seraphim
From Kiev, where, in the tenth century, the inaugural event in the Christianisation of the state of 'Kievan Rus' took place, and where the young St Seraphim of Sarov journeyed to seek wise counsel for the direction of his life, we will follow in his footsteps, next on to his birthplace in Kursk, and then on to Diveyevo where his relics lie today.
