A brief look back at the lessons shared throughout the summer—and a pause before Jenna, Brandon, and Andrew begin their next pilgrimage in Olympic National Park.

In Cornwall and Glastonbury, Jenna reflects on a gentler pilgrimage shaped by sacred waters, a question asked in darkness, and vows spoken at sunrise. Through moments both playful and profound, she discovers that permission to choose can begin with receiving what is offered—and learning to trust the answer within.

In Negril, Jamaica, Jenna arrives carrying physical pain, profound transition, and the approaching loss of a beloved companion. Through movement, ritual, and the healing experience of being supported, she reflects on the intertwined medicines of release, trust, and allowing ourselves to be held.

When a canceled flight derails Jenna and Brandon’s pilgrimage to Ireland, an unexpected journey through Washington’s Olympic Peninsula begins to unfold. Looking back, Jenna reflects on trusting the detour, listening to the land beneath her feet, and discovering that the pilgrimage we receive may hold its own unexpected medicine.

In the Kingdom of Fife, Jenna encounters lessons in unexpected places—from a faery bridge in Scotland to an airport rest area in Minneapolis. Looking back, she reflects on the courage to ask for what we need, remain open to the answer, and integrate what we receive.

In her Isle of Arran pilgrimage, Jenna's rose-colored glasses begin to come off, as unexpected disappointments push her toward the harder work of discernment. She reflects on the gap between how we present ourselves and how we truly live—and how permission to see clearly becomes its own path to mastery of self.

In Part II of her Iona pilgrimage, Jenna journeys beyond the island to a sacred cave on Mull, where the Three Strands of Poetry invites her to meet emotions long held beneath the surface. Ten years later, she reflects on the medicine of permission—and how the land helps us encounter what has been waiting within.

The journey begins on the sacred Isle of Iona. In the first installment of the Lessons from the Land series, Jenna reflects on her first pilgrimage with Andrew Steed and the unexpected lessons that emerged from meeting the land. Sometimes the simplest moments—a quiet walk, a mountain climb, or taking off a pair of hiking boots—become the seeds of transformation that continue to grow for years to come.
