This Embodying Christ Pilgrimage in Ireland will be an intimate expedition where we strive to journey with Christ and as Embodying Christs.
This will be a very deep and expansive individual and group journey inviting participants to live, breath, move and walk as expressions of the Divine Consciousness of Christ. We will be meditating together, walking together, going on Journeys into Christ Consciousness together and otherwise immersing ourselves in the Essence of Loving Awareness and allowing ourselves to commune with the Creator and surrender to being Divinely guided and inspired.
The limited spaces for this Pilgrimage to Ireland 15th to 22th September 2026 are already filling up, so please tune in and sense if this event is calling you. If you are interested please do not delay so as to avoid dissapointment.
Here are a few details to give you a broad sense what what to expect.
Accomodation
You will be staying in your own room and bathroom in cottages with sitting room, kitchen with all appliances that you will need. Costs outlined below in the cost overview.
Food
We will shop for groceries and cook together. We will pool together and share the cost of groceries. All will be arranged closer to the time. You can of course opt out of group cooking eating at any time, nothing is compulsory.
Transport
I will be renting a Minibus as our mode of transport. We will share the cost of the minibus and diesel.
Location
If you are coming for the first time… ideally the location could be a suprise for you. If you really need to see some images online we will be in “Glendalough”. But as mentioned, see if you can allow yourself to discover this place live .. walking, breathing and embodying the Essence of Christ.
Flights
You will organise your own flights. Ideally it helps if most or all arrive at the same time in Dublin and we can all travel to Glendalough together. But if that isn’t possible i can arrange transfers.
Cost overview
Here are the bare costs as they present themselves.
Accomodation: 595€ per person and room.
Minibus: approx 1800€ shared by number of participants.
Diesel: approx 100€ depending on how much driving we do, shared by number of participants.
Food: Cost of groceries will be shared.
Guidance: Voluntary – to be seen.
Program
Starting from a few weeks prior to departure, you will receive a meditation that will begin preparing you for this journey, this expedition into the realms of possiblity. In Ireland there are many possibilities available to us. I will tune into what wishes to unfold as will each of us there and we will allow ourselves to be guided and witness how events gently wish to unfold.
Please do not feel that there will be a strict programm that everyone must follow. Everyone will be on their own personal pilgrimage in this group with other pilgrims and each will explore to their own capacity, each will dance to their own tune. There will be some events, walks, gatherings, meditations on offer but each participant will choose what feels right for them in every moment and we will see how it all miraculously unfolds.
Futher notes..
I can’t think of anything else for the moment… but the planning is still young and usually ideas and visions will appear as things unfold. As information arises or becomes available, i will update this page.
Please register your interest with me per email: paul@paths-to-christ.org
As spaces are limited allocation will be on first come, first served basis.
How do previous participants describe their experiences? Please see below what our sisters shared about last years pilgrimage.
Much Love,
Paul
It is so difficult to put in words what the week in Ireland has meant for me. It was such an incredible life changing experience.
I loved how we shared every fear and experience with each other, how we did things we never did before, how we enjoyed the walking, the beautiful landscape, all kinds of weather. I loved the deep silences, the laughing, it was all so intimate.
And now, back home, the connection is still there and i l love the fact that we keep reminding each other to talk as Christ.
I notice that I am more alert now of where I am during the day, that I breathe more consciously, which gives me a feeling of connection and I am more able now to welcome everything that comes up with the inner smile.
It is a journey I will never forget, because the experience of it is landed in every cell of my being.
Much love,
Francijntje – NetherlandsOur pilgrimage to beautiful Ireland was more than successful. Being in connection and meditation with a small group for a week under the inspiring guidance of Paul and with our inner guidance. The invitation in the introductory text came full circle. “for those who want to nurture and grow intimate relationships between themselves and all creation”. Incidentally, it began even before the trip that we went into preparation with each other, and individually, by meditatively tuning in to this journey.
Dear Paul, You used I think almost every situation or moment to make our week absolutely amazing and perfect. Both in a practical sense and in your guidance. Your very careful attention to everyone’s process individually, and to the group as a whole, the beautifully situated location surrounded by beautiful nature (forest, lake, mountains), the walking meditations in that nature, the conversations at the round table in the kitchen, the meditations together, it all contributed to a very successful week. It was a break from the daily routines at home and everyone’s journey into the unknown was enhanced by the whole group process.
What a gift! Besides the beautiful conversations, the actual experiences and the serene silence that happened to us more and more, we also laughed so much together! And so many things were in sync with each other at one point or another that at times I could hardly believe how we were wordlessly communicating with each other in a shared field of energy.
I think it was an incredibly beautiful week with so much richness of experiences that I can look forward to for a long time to come. Thank you for making this incredible experience possible!

At Dublin airport, we wave Paul off for his flight. And waiting for ours, I ask myself: how can I express in 1 sentence how I experienced the week. What comes to mind then is… I enjoyed myself madly. Every day, every minute…
And that was both in the mundane earthly, and in the depth we experienced together, or shall I say height. Because what was mostly palpable through everything, through focus, intention and togetherness, was that heightened frequency, in which we were in each other’s company.
The accommodation was very pleasant, with private rooms with bathrooms. And the togetherness was effortless. In the morning, we started outside with an early walking meditation, in the wooded area with mossy stones and small waterfalls. Walk as Christ, let yourself move, breathe….
I would love to share what we did and experienced, but you who are reading this I wish you (like us) could also take that step into the unknown. With no set programme and in surrender to inner guidance – we were pampered with our experiences. Which is not to say that there was no room for tears. What presented itself could come to light.
Mystical depths lay alongside dancing in the kitchen and synchronicities. And knowing myself carried came not only from the spiritual world, but certainly from Paul’s caring guidance. So reliable, focused, delicate and pleasant.
Who could have imagined that this week would prove life-changing. Well before departure, we received preparatory meditations, which I, like the others, fully embraced. Because as a dedicated adept of this improbably beautiful unfolding Path (to-Christ-Consciousness), not wanting to join the still deepening movement – is no longer an option.
The week opened inner doors. This is true for each of us. And once home on home soil, we, our little group of 4 participants, embarked on a 40-day challenge to feed this daily. With wonder and joy, we behold what goes on inside. As we write this, we are now on day 23.
Embodying Christ. It is unbelievable, but something of this is becoming palpable….

Thinking back to this week in Ireland, one month later, and trying to describe this wonderful week in its fullness, I realize that I am hardly able to do that and I can only give some impressions … a few memories and experiences…
Walking in the sun on the beach, in the rain, in a strong cold wind, and even in the snow… sometimes walking with pain or stiff muscles, allowing everything, all feelings and emotions, to flow through me without judging them…
And after the walk returning in our home, this beautiful and welcoming accommodation, making breakfast together, sitting around the big round table, cooking and eating together, sharing about our experiences, having fun, laughing, sometimes crying and being emotional, or sitting in silence, deeply connected with each other, in Christ consciousness, feeling such high energy, such high frequency that it was almost palpable…
Memories of some rituals we did, on our own, to leave behind in Ireland everything we didn’t want anymore, not to choose for that anymore…. And instead to search for our deepest longing ….to allow the Light of Christ shining through me, to live as the radiant Light that I am… to stand tall as Christ… To choose for greatness and divinity instead of smallness, limitedness.
For me it was an intensive week in all aspects: spiritual, emotional and also physical. A week full of fun, laughter, tears, joy and sadness, of deep gratitude…
And everything could happen in this safe space, with the continuous love, care and support of our dear brother Paul, already preparing us for this pilgrimage weeks before with a beautiful meditation. Guiding us so carefully through this week, always in connection with Christ consciousness, but also sharing with us as a brother…
So many things happened and now, being back, ordinary daily life with all its challenges has also started again, but so much is changed. The week in Ireland was just the beginning of a new phase, the pilgrimage has not ended there and continues in a wonderful way. The four of us, or three, or two, meet each other very frequently, seeing each other on Zoom, practicing to speak as Christ or sharing our experiences in our app-group, bringing everything again to the Light, our struggles, our joys… This is so inspiring and supporting, to help and encourage each other when old patterns and limiting beliefs are rising again, to help remember each other who we really are, and to remind each other to the truth of our essence.
It is indeed as mentioned in the beautiful meditation of 24 march 2024, Playing Orchestra in Symphony, each playing his own instrument, with its own tone and colour… but together…. a beautiful symphony…. or in our case, an intimate string quartet… giving… receiving… giving…. receiving…
It was a week of deep connection with each other, with the divinity within me, within us.
I am so deeply grateful for this whole experience in Ireland, for Paul, for my dear sisters, travelling together, and all other brothers and sisters who are walking this same path to Christ.
