The Gatekeeper Trust is devoted to personal and planetary healing through pilgrimage. It seeks to rediscover the ancient art of pilgrimage as a way of journeying – with an awareness of the sacred nature of our environment. It researches both ancient and modern knowledge about the landscape and shares it through an annual programme of journeys and workshops.

EVENTS

We have the following Gatekeeper Trust events planned for the coming months:

Wed 16th October – Finding Sacred Space
7 – 8.30pm – Zoom
Looking at the basic principles of the Wheel, how to use it to co-create sacred space, and how it can be used in everyday life and on pilgrimage.

Mon 28th October – Portland Reflections and preparation for Light in the Land
7 – 8.30pm – Zoom
A meeting for all to gather reflections and insights following the Pilgrims’ Weekend in Portland, Aug 2024, and to look forward to the Light in the Land collaboration on Sunday 3rd November. The Zoom invitation link will be posted here shortly.

Sun 3 November – Light In the Landscape

Local atunement. Following our very successful collaboration last year, we invite you to join us again at midday to take Light into the Landscape wherever you may be. We have written some guidelines following the event last year and these can be accessed here: LIGHT IN THE LAND

We are very pleased to provide details of associated events organised by our Friends and collaborators and further details of these events can be found here: EVENTS

How does pilgrimage help the Earth?

peter-dawkins-clr“The old saying that every pilgrim leaves footprints of light that others might follow and add to, is no idle saying. The Earth can be turned into light through pilgrimage, and there is a science associated with how this is done.

Love is an energy, and all things including ourselves are built out of energy… If our energy is loving, then we affect other energy fields that we touch or move in with that love.

We can both give and receive love, in mutual benefit. In such a way a pilgrim’s relationship with the Earth, with the landscape, can be a love relationship. Just like us, the Earth longs for such love and calls us to love her. The Earth in her love for us helps us towards illumination, and we can help her towards hers. That is the hidden purpose of pilgrimage – the so-called redemption of mankind and Nature, the raising of all to light, wherein Light is the manifestation of Love.”

Peter Dawkins, Elder and co-Founder
