Winter Full Moonset Sunrise Pilgrimage

A Sacred Journey Through Silence, Symbol and Land

30 July 2026 | Auckland, New Zealand | 7 Participants Only

5:30am – 1:30pm | Private Minibus | Mystery Destination

The Invitation

Beneath the Aquarius Full Moon and the rising winter sun, seven pilgrims will gather for the first Lightbody Pilgrimage.

Together we will journey through a carefully chosen landscape, sharing stories, observing the world around us, and exploring the hidden lessons found within nature, symbol, and land.

This is not a tour.

It is not a lecture.

It is a pilgrimage.

A journey designed to help you slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the wonder that modern life so often asks us to overlook.

Why This Journey

The first Lightbody Pilgrimage could only begin here.

Winter is a season of stillness.

A season that invites reflection, observation, and a return to what matters.

Held beneath the Aquarius Full Moon and during the rare meeting of the Sun and Jupiter in Leo, this pilgrimage is aligned with themes of vision, awareness, expansion, and the courage to walk your own path while remembering your place within something greater.

Like all Lightbody Pilgrimages, this journey has been carefully aligned to a specific moment in time.

A moment that will never come again.

Crafted Like A Talisman

A Lightbody Pilgrimage is not assembled. It is composed. Each journey begins with a moment in time.

A full moon.
An eclipse.
A sunrise.
A season turning.

From there, the path slowly reveals itself.

The land.
The symbols.
The stories.
The teachings.
The companions who walk beside you.

Even the locations remain hidden until the day they are meant to be found.

Nothing is chosen for convenience. Everything is chosen for resonance.

Like a talisman, many separate pieces are gathered and brought into harmony until the journey becomes something whole.

A living artefact.
A meeting between land, time, symbol, and story.
A journey that could not have existed at any other moment.

Once completed, it belongs to memory.

The Mystery Destination

The destination remains unknown until the day of the pilgrimage.

Not to create secrecy.

To preserve mystery.

From there, the group travels together by private minibus toward a carefully chosen location selected specifically for this journey.

The destination matters.

But the journey matters more.

Meet Your Guide

Nicolas Lightbody is the founder of Lightbody Jewellery.

For nearly forty years he has followed rivers, climbed mountains, wandered forests, and listened to the land.

Many of the lessons shared throughout these pilgrimages were not learned from books, but from the landscapes of Aotearoa themselves.

The Lightbody Pilgrimages are an invitation to walk beside him and discover what the land may reveal.

Meet Your Pilgrimage Host

Alongside Nicolas is Poppy Lightbody.

With over eight years of experience helping people explore the world through international travel, Poppy helps create a welcoming and thoughtfully organised experience from beginning to end.

While Nicolas guides the pilgrimage itself, Poppy helps ensure every participant feels supported throughout the journey.
