More about the pilgrimage
We will draw on the Life of St Wite as the focus for the retreat and her personal embodiment of both courageous action and sacred healing. We will literally follow in her footsteps, beginning and end the pilgrimage at her shrine, renowned through the ages as a place of healing and renewal. Although her ministry was rooted in Christian spirituality, the activities and reflections we share will not be from any particular tradition and there will be plenty of time, space and encouragement to engage with the pilgrimage in and through your own spiritual way.
The 8 mile/6 hr walk of St Wite’s Way, starts and ends at the Holy Shrine of St Wite in the church of St Candida and the Holy Cross in Whitchurch Canonicorum DT6 6RQ. The pilgrimage will take us to sacred sites along the Way and up onto Golden Cap, the highest headland on the south coast of England, with the spectacular viewpoint it offers.
As we walk there will be opportunities to stop, reflect and meditate/pray in ‘moments of encounter’ facilitated by our pilgrimage guides. Together, we will explore the mystery and presence we find on the Way and how this speaks to each of us personally in the unique context of our own life journey.
