The light comes through the trees in long grey shafts, and the only sound is your own footsteps on an old stone path.
There is mist in the valley below. You have been walking for days, and something you did not expect has begun to happen.
Step by step, the path is taking from you the very weight you did not know you were carrying.
This is what we are offering you.
Eight days walking the Camino Primitivo, the oldest pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela: forests, mountains and small stone villages; long silent mornings and real conversations by evening; a teaching for each day, and a growing, quiet certainty that life has been carrying you all along.
A pilgrimage with trust, mental wellbeing and the walk back to yourself at its core.
It is designed for leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals and exceptional individuals who are ready to step away from the noise, pressure and expectations of everyday life.
Often, they are moving through a season of burnout, loss, transition, or the strange ache of having achieved a great deal and lost themselves in the process.
They may be asking:
You do not need to be an experienced hiker, and you do not need your faith or your future worked out. You only need to be willing to walk, to reflect and to let the path do its quiet work.
Faith and spirituality are a welcoming and important part of the journey, held gently for anyone searching for deeper meaning or a stronger connection with God.
Whether you come alone or with someone you love, this tribe has room for you.
This is not for someone who only wants a tourism or adventure experience, who is unwilling to reflect, grow or be vulnerable, or who expects the facilitators to fix their life.
The facilitators provide the guidance, questions, coaching and support. Each pilgrim remains responsible for their own journey.
Each day carries a teaching, and the days have a rhythm.
Woven throughout are silent mornings, walking conversations, coaching, shared meals and integration circles.
Then two final integration days to shape your plan, and an eight-week journey home with reflection prompts, accountability check-ins and 30-, 60- and 90-day recommitment sessions.
Owner and Managing Director of African Monarch Journeys and Retreats in the Wild. With more than three decades as a hotelier in some of Africa's finest luxury wilderness lodges across Southern and East Africa, she has built her life around exceptional hospitality and a profound respect for the transformative power of the natural world.
When her late husband Dusty was diagnosed with two cancers, Tinolla walked one of the most challenging seasons of her life. It was a season that asked her to loosen her grip on what she could not control, to surrender, and to trust that she was being carried even when she could not see the way. Retreats in the Wild was born from that walk.
On pilgrimage, she holds the healing power of nature and the walk itself: reflection, gentle integration and the warmth of true hospitality — a safe and compassionate presence that helps every pilgrim carry the trust they find on the path back into everyday life.
A Certified Speaking Professional, executive coach and certified master firewalking instructor, Cobus has facilitated transformational experiences for more than thirteen thousand people around the world.
His own turning point came on Kilimanjaro, a mountain he climbed believing he had no reason left to live, and came down having found one.
He is the author of Walking Through Fire and the Extraordinary You series, and has spent his life since that climb walking people through fire, through fear and back to their God-given purpose.
On this pilgrimage, Cobus holds the inner journey: the teaching, the fireside conversations and the plan each guest carries home.
International flights, transfers to Lugo or from Santiago, comprehensive travel insurance, some lunches, personal expenses, gratuities and anything outside the official programme.
Join the PilgrimageThere are journeys we remember for the places we walked. And there are journeys we remember for the person we came home to while we were walking.
A Pilgrimage to Trust is an invitation to lay down the weight you have been carrying, walk slower than you have in years, and remember the steady centre that has been within you all along.
The full ten-day pilgrimage, with everything set out in the inclusions above, is offered at the following rates per guest.
The doors are open. The path is waiting. The tribe is gathering.
You do not have to see the whole journey. You only need the courage to take the next step.
Come and walk with us.
