✦ THE INVITATION✦
Some places remember you before you arrive.
Scotland calls us into a relationship with the land. Its ancient stones, sacred waters, forests, and islands invite us to slow down, listen deeply, and encounter the presence these places hold.
This pilgrimage brings together the beauty of Scotland with the spiritual threads that draw Kristina and Lisa Marie to these lands: Celtic wisdom, the divine feminine, Mary Magdalene, and communion with the living Earth.
Together, we’ll explore sacred places, share nourishing meals, gather in ceremony, and make generous space for laughter, play, and the quiet work of renewal.
Whether you feel the pull of a particular site or are simply called by the land, it would be our deep honour to guide you.
ALONG THE WAY
Extraordinary places. Meaningful encounters.
The holy island of Iona
Stay overnight and settle into the rhythm of this beloved island, with gentle walks, beautiful beaches, sacred sites, and time for reflection.
The Mysteries of Rosslyn
Discover intricate carvings, stories of the Grail and the Templars, and the woodland beauty of nearby Rosslyn Glen.
The faerie landscapes of Skye
Explore an island rich in Celtic folklore, dramatic scenery, and places where the veil feels thin, guided by Lisa Marie’s relationship with the land.
Ancient Stones & a Sacred Tree
Visit the Clava Cairns near Inverness and the Fortingall Yew, bringing our journey into relationship with Scotland’s ancestral landscapes.
Solstice among the stones
Gather at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis for a special Summer Solstice ceremony, followed by a group dinner and sharing time.
Guides Who Hold a Relationship with the Land
Travel with Kristina Wood and Lisa Marie, whose approach invites personal encounters with these places, alongside their stories and histories.
The Spiritual Thread of Our Pilgrimage
This journey is dedicated in part to the energy of Mary Magdalene and a deeper embodiment of the divine feminine within each of us.
Through ceremony, contemplation, and time in nature, we’ll explore loving kindness, spiritual remembrance, and our relationship with the Earth.
Kristina will also share her work with the Emerald Heart, which she describes as a blueprint of unconditional love and a container for the Celtic Rose, Sophianic wisdom, and Christus light.
These themes will weave through our travels, with opportunities to listen, reflect, and discover what awakens within you.

Sacred Southwest Journey Overview
Chaco Canyon -
step into the center of the world
Deep in New Mexico lies the political and spiritual heart of the Ancestral Puebloan world — a place where ancient architects aligned massive stone great houses to the precise movements of the sun, moon, and stars. We arrive on the Autumn Equinox, when the celestial alignments the Chacoans built their entire civilization around become something you can witness firsthand.
Kialo Winters, our Diné guide, will walk us through the astronomy and cosmology woven into every wall and road — including ancient rock paintings depicting mysterious humanoid figures that some researchers believe may represent extraterrestrial visitors. We'll explore monumental Great Houses, ceremonial kivas, and ancient rock art. Learn more about the mythology of the Star People here.
CRESTONE, COLORADO
The Sacred Land Sanctuary -
a shamanic day with John Milton
Nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Crestone is regarded as a powerful spiritual vortex, a pre-colonial Native neutral zone dedicated to peace, healing, and ceremony. Attracting over two dozen religious traditions, including Tibetan Buddhist centers, Hindu ashrams, and Zen centers, Crestone is considered one of North America’s most spiritually significant places. We spend a full day with renowned teacher and Way of Nature founder John Milton at his Sacred Land Sanctuary.
UTE MOUNTAIN & DINÉ NATION
Honor the Keepers of the land
History here isn't trapped in the past. It is alive, carried forward by the people who still guard these landscapes.
Accessible only through tribal-guided tours, Ute Mountain Tribal Park offers a rare opportunity to explore ancestral cliff dwellings and sacred sites while learning from members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. As we walk among remarkably preserved ruins, we'll hear stories and histories passed down through generations from our Ute elder and guide, Riche Hayes.
Across the Diné (Navajo) Nation, the connection between land, language, and ancestors remains unbroken—a living expression of Hózhó, the profound tradition of living in harmony with the Earth.
PLUS:
Soak in Pure, Healing Hot Springs of Joyful Journey Hotsprings
Visit Chimney Rock in Colorado,
Travel on an historic train ride through the San Juan Mountains
Visit the magnificent Tara Mandala Temple
Plus much more!
Beyond the sacred sites, a thread of healing and wonder runs through every day.
Alongside the ceremonies and ancient places, there will be time for healing waters, meaningful conversation, stunning scenery, and the simple joy of sharing the road together.

✦ MEET YOUR GUIDES ✦
Kristina Wood
For more than four decades, Kristina Wood has explored sacred landscapes, participated in ceremony, and learned from elders and wisdom keepers around the world. She is the author of The Magic of the Real World and has guided seekers to sacred sites across North and South America, Asia, and beyond. Her journeys are rooted in reverence for the land, meaningful connection, and the transformative power of pilgrimage.
Lisa Marie
Lisa Marie has spent nearly three decades following the call of sacred landscapes around the world, including time living with the Anangu Pitjantjatjara people, the sacred guardians of Uluru, and journeys through Angkor Wat and Bhutan.
She spent close to four years living in a campervan across Scotland’s Highlands and islands, staying beside stone circles and lochs, and deepening her relationship with plants, elements, and the land.
Her connection to Scotland also runs through her ancestry. Her ancestor John Rhind was a master stonemason whose work can be found in Edinburgh.
What Lisa offers is relationship. She guides you to places she knows intimately and holds space for your own encounter with them. Her approach is present, deeply felt, and full of laughter.
Kialo Winters
Kialo Winters is a Diné (Navajo) cultural guide, entrepreneur, artist, and educator based in Northwest New Mexico. As the founder of Navajo Tours USA, he shares the history, traditions, and sacred landscapes of the American Southwest through the lens of Indigenous culture and lived experience.
A traditional fancy dancer, beadwork artist, and photographer, Kialo is passionate about helping visitors develop a deeper connection to the land, its stories, and the wisdom it holds.
At Chaco Canyon, Kialo will share his deep knowledge of Indigenous astronomy and the profound significance of the Autumn Equinox within the Ancestral Puebloan worldview — a perspective rarely accessible to outside visitors.
Rickey Hayes
Rickey Hayes is the highly respected head interpretive guide at Ute Mountain Tribal Park in southwestern Colorado, near Towaoc. A member of the Ute Mountain Tribe, he is celebrated for his patience, infectious personality, and deep knowledge of Ancestral Puebloan and Ute history.
Rickey has a rare gift for coaxing history from the stones themselves — sharing spiritual oral traditions, creation stories, and family histories that bring these ancient landscapes to vivid life. On this journey, he will guide us into remote cliff dwellings, rock art sites, and ancient kivas rarely seen by the general public, and will teach us his own practice of listening to and communicating with the stones — a profound transmission that few outside visitors have ever been offered.
