The Wild Sovereign Soul Pilgrimage

An Immersive Online Group Journey Home to Soul

Perhaps you have been devoted to your soul path for many years

And you have done many courses and teachings (perhaps some with us), and you may well be thinking, "I don't need another one," and you may well be right.

This is not that.

What those of us devoted to soul truly need is to travel with others, our fellow soul seekers and trusted guides, on the journey back home, guided by the shape of your sacred wound and the calling that lives within it, not just once, but over and over again, with renewed intention and deeper devotion.

We need to pilgrimage.

This is different from anything we have offered before, not a course, not a workshop, not another set of tools to add to the ones you already have, but a genuine initiatory journey through territory we have never covered in this way, including teachings that have come through us over the past year and that we have never shared before, bringing together everything we know and everything we are into the most complete and necessary offering we have ever created, one that we judge to be essential for every soul on this path and that will form the very heart of how we serve from here.

You may come to this pilgrimage carrying something you have been trying to "fix" for a long time, and that is a perfectly good reason to come, and yet what we have found, over and over again in the people we have walked alongside, is that coming home to soul restores what fixing rarely touches: faith, beauty, the capacity to see and be with things you have never quite been able to see or be with before, because the wound and the calling are usually the same thing, and the path back to one is almost always the path back to the other, which is precisely why we have woven a personal Chiron, “Wounded Healer”, reading into the heart of this pilgrimage, so that the shape of your sacred wound, and the medicine that dwells there, becomes the very ground your pilgrimage walks through.

The path is something you return to, again and again, the way people have always returned to the sacred places, because the soul's path is cyclical, and each time you come back you are a different person, meeting the same ground in a completely new way, finding things there, the true things, that you could not have found the last time because you were not ready for them yet.

And this particular pilgrimage moves through the terrain that these times demand, through the body and the wild, through the shadow and the sacred, through the ancient arts of self-gnosis and the alchemy of genuine community, all of it drawn from the most timeless wisdom traditions, curated for people like you, living in these crazy modern times, and we would love, more than we can really say, for you to join us on this maiden pilgrimage as we walk each other home.

So whether you are deepening a path you have known and walked for years or feeling the pull into something you do not yet have words for… if something in you is stirring as you read this, this Pilgrimage is for you.

Why pilgrimage with us?

Because we are you.

We have lived every step of this from the inside.

Jonathan was thrust into a life of great suffering and challenge, with health conditions so vast and relentless that at one point doctors told him there was a high probability he would end up in a wheelchair, and rather than accept that, he then set off on an ongoing path of over three decades of dedicated exploration, into the mind and body of the human animal, into the natural world and our evolutionary relationship with it, and deep into the wisdom traditions of every culture he could find.

What emerged from all of that searching was not a cure as such but a path, and the understanding that what he had been trying to heal was not broken, that his suffering was the greatest blessing and deepest calling of his soul, the material for the very work he was born to do. Jonathan knows the terrain of the body, the wild and the shadow from the inside, and he brings to this pilgrimage a capacity for seeing others, especially divergent ones, that is extraordinarily rare, the ability to illuminate what someone's soul has come here to be and to guide them toward it with reverence and love.

Lian spent fifteen years living with chronic facial pain that no medicine could explain or touch, alongside panic attacks that became simply part of the texture of daily life, and that she eventually learned to exist alongside the way you might exist alongside a limb. And then her father died, suddenly and under shocking circumstances, and something was cracked open in her in that moment, simultaneously feeling the full weight of the loss and seeing a beauty and a meaning so vast she had no words for it, and within a year the pain and panic attacks spontaneously vanished, never to return.

That inexplicable transformation became the question she has spent every year since trying to answer, not for herself but in service to others, and it brought her through a deep spiritual path, through a shamanic apprenticeship she resisted for years before finally submitting to, and into the work she was born for. Lian brings to this pilgrimage a devotion to soul and to the divine feminine that runs through everything she does, and a capacity for holding the full complexity of a human life, the wounds and the gifts and the callings, with loving acceptance.

We created this path from the wounds and callings of our own lives, and from over a decade of walking alongside divergent ones like you, watching them find their way from lostness and dis-ease into lives of genuine aliveness, sovereignty and soul, and we have kept building it and refining it because this work is a calling for all of us, not just something we offer.

We built this path and this pilgrimage because we needed it ourselves first.

And in doing so, we have become the guides we needed back then.

Why choose this?

Those of us who are divergent ones, who feel things more deeply and see through things more clearly and have never quite been able to settle for a life that leaves the soul half-lived, we are particularly good at accumulating the teachings and the trainings and the tools and the insights, drawn to everything that feels like it might be the real thing (and often it is), but still finding that something essential remains just out of reach, something we cannot quite name but can feel the absence of.

What we have found, in ourselves and in the people we work with, is that what tends to be missing is the experience of genuinely travelling together, in real kinship with fellow divergent souls, with guides who know this terrain from the inside.

The Wild Sovereign Soul Pilgrimage was born from this understanding, for the divergent ones, the soul seekers, the ones who have already done so much and are ready for something that meets them where the coming home to the soul really happens… in the body, in the wild, in the shadow, in the sacred, in the company of others who know what it costs to be this alive and this searching, and in the humble devotional return to the path, over and over again, year after year, with new eyes and an open heart.

And why join the pilgrimage now?

Because the world is not getting less crazy, and your soul is not getting quieter, and the particular grief of a life half-lived has a way of compounding the longer we leave it.

We know that the very craziness of these times can feel like the reason to wait… to get through this season first, to find a quieter moment, a clearer window… and yet that window rarely comes, and the soul does not stop calling just because life is particularly loud.

In our experience, it is precisely when the world feels most overwhelming that the call to come home to soul is most worth answering.

And there is something else we have noticed, in ourselves and in the people we work with: when we make a truly sovereign choice, when we choose the thing that is genuinely aligned rather than the thing that is convenient and easy to choose, something shifts… Time that did not seem to exist opens up, space that felt impossible to find reveals itself. It is as though life recognises the choice and moves to meet it.

The Pilgrimage might become not something you have to somehow squeeze in but something that everything else in your life begins to flow around.

And for those who have walked with us before, you already know what it feels like to be held in this work, to go deep within it, and you probably also know how much it matters to return when you hear the call, because the path does not stop when the crucible ends… it wanders and winds, it cycles, and it asks us to keep returning to go deeper and with greater intention and devotion.

The path home is long…
The time to begin or go deeper is not “one day” but now.

Your Pilgrimage…

Over twelve weeks, you will move through the full arc of the three primordial strands, Reclaiming your Wildness, Actualising your Sovereignty and Awakening your Soul, all in service of coming home to your soul, guided and held by Jonathan and Lian.

The Pilgrimage has its own rhythm, flowing through teaching, embodiment practice, guidance, reflection and enquiry in dyads and triads with one or two fellow soul seekers, guided meditations and journeys woven through all of it, and supporting materials to carry you between sessions.

Your personal pilgrimage within the pilgrimage… Woven into the heart of this pilgrimage is something we have never offered before in this way: a personal distilled Chiron, “Wounded Healer”, reading for each pilgrim, opening a window into the particular sacred wound you carried into this life… the place where it can be almost unbearable to look and yet where, when you do, everything suddenly makes a particular kind of sense. From that illumination, you will be invited to name the material you are going to journey with during our twelve weeks together, a project, a relationship, a creation, something that will serve as your own crucible, holding up a mirror to the full shape of who you are and calling you toward the medicine that lives in the depths of your wound. So whilst we pilgrim together as kin toward the same destination, each person is simultaneously on a deeply personal inner journey, one that is as unique as their Chiron, their wound, and the particular medicine their soul came here to serve.

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you."
Rumi

And alongside all of this, you will enter the powerful and rare experience of being in circle with fellow divergent ones on the same path home, held in a private community space where what is in your heart can be shared, witnessed and celebrated.

What people say…

“They [Jonathan and Lian] simply gave themselves and all that they knew to me. I feel I’ve been truly guided by a team that understands the true nature of human experience. Everything I already knew has been re-defined, untainted again, renewed. Everything I had failed to see about myself and the world around me has been lit up by a growing light pointed in the right direction under the guidance of Jonathan. Everything I knew about my relationship I’ve thrown in the bin and am happy to be experiencing its truth in the moment. Love is the foundation for a perfect moment. I owe the brightness of my new path to Jonathan and Lian. If you’re thinking of giving them the time, stop thinking about it, feel it and start unravelling yourself as soon as you can.”
Pablo Meccano
“I’m a coach myself and have worked closely with six different coaches over the years, all of whom I’ve respected and adored - and Lian is in another league! Higher priestess, Goddess, Queen, Shaman, innovator, disruptor, Wild Woman are all words that come to mind when thinking of Lian - she is all that as well as a deeply earthy, joyful, relatable human being. She has the rare quality of being able to straddle light and shadow, ascension and earth, spiritual and practical with ease and grace. My life, work and relationships have been and continue to be transformed through her insights, wisdom, witnessing and love. She has supported me to call forth my inner Queen and weather the challenges of being a new mother so beautifully and powerfully. I can’t quite remember how I navigated life’s ups and downs BL (Before Lian) but I know it wasn’t nearly as juicy, fun, transformative and wonderful.”
Jess Heading
“There's this real descent back into the body in the work with Lian and Jonathan. I think the biggest takeaway for me was just seeing that I can create what I want to create. I can create my deepest heart longings and that wasn't something that I had seen or believed for myself before. And having love for those parts of myself that didn't think that they were capable, didn't think they could create what was for me. And that capacity to choose to keep walking the path despite all the fear and land in this featherbed as Terence McKenna would say. I think that for me has been the one thing that really has been so powerful just seeing that I can choose it and I can create it.”
Nicole Barton
“When Lian and I started working together, I didn’t even know exactly what it was that I wanted. I had lots of things that I wanted to get away from, but I wasn’t clear at all on how I wanted things to be. This was the first big thing (of many) Lian did for me. She helped me to work out what I wanted, how I wanted my whole life to look, and not just the business aspect, which turned out to be really important as I am my business! A year later and pretty much everything is unrecognisable: all my relationships have improved, how I spend my time and focus my attention has shifted and is so much more fulfilling, and my business has literally transformed into something profitable, sustainable and exciting. I have done many personal development trainings and courses over the years, but this has been the best investment I have ever made in myself. Thank you. ”
Becky Currell
“That first conversation with Jonathan changed my life. After that, hiring him as my coach was a no-brainer! For me being a man, speaking to another man, sharing my deepest and darkest fears and being completely vulnerable was incredible challenging, but I knew deep deep down that was the place he needed to see to really see and feel me. We started at the beginning, going deep into every hurdle in my life. Peeling off all the layers of the onion to get to the roots of my beliefs where we were able to re-write my blue prints of life. I have quit the job where I was stuck for 18 years and I followed my heart to now have my own business, where I can live my true purpose in life. I’m truly grateful for all the work we have done together. I have never been so excited about myself and about how I want to show up in the world.”
Sibe B
“Working with the guidance of both Jonathan and Lian has been so valuable and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is embarking on this journey of self discovery. Jonathan and Lian are both so exceptional in their wisdom and their continued passion for their own growth that, for me, they inspire complete faith and confidence in their work. You need to be willing to challenge all of your beliefs to get the best from this. But it is so worth it. It is through the work with them that I was reintroduced to who I really am and I am forever grateful for that. My journey continues and will be a lifelong exploration where my confidence in myself will continue to grow ever greater. Jonathan and Lian are two unique and gifted individuals who are courageous and dedicated enough to share their wisdom with those who desire it. Once you see the truth, there is no turning back. You wouldn’t want to. With Love and gratitude always.”
Kate Motley
“I considered myself a brave soul but I wasn't fully embodying this experience and before I did my work with them [Jonathan and Lian], I was very much as is common with a lot of people they work with on the ascension path. Which was great for me I learnt to connect to my spirit and learn how to transcend thinking and all of that, but not to really get down into my body, actualise my gifts, take the action steps required. It was almost as if I was living in half of myself but not all of myself. During my work with them I would hear these words Masculine and Feminine energies which I've heard for years, and Lian would always talk about embodiment. I'm learning to be in my Feminine which is changing my relationships changing my intimate relationship that I'm in. So they [Jonathan and Lian] have 100% allowed me to pull more of my potential out and have it actualised in the world which I am forever grateful for.”
Jamie Wozny
“Lian is super warm, vibrant, and easy to talk and open up to. She has a breadth of knowledge and wisdom that makes it possible to discuss virtually any topic and come away feeling educated or that something has shifted. Working with Lian changed things hugely for me, both in terms of my business and personal life, and I’m forever grateful that I made the decision to do so.”
Nicola Farr
“I knew I needed a guide on my journey. I had a brief: – tough, but soft. True but kind. Woo-woo but grounded. Real but deep. Little did I know what that shamaness would put me through, Lian – it was an embodiment of the soul.”
