Steppe and Soul – Pilgrimages to Mongolia

Exploring vast lands and inner landscapes

The Call of the Steppe

Steppe and Soul offers sacred journeys into the heart of Mongolia — a land of vast skies, ancestral wisdom, and deep connection with the natural world. These are pilgrimages of cultural and wilderness immersion, of deep inner exploration and transformation. You’ll walk in ceremony, sit with shamans and lamas and breathe in wild silence as you are witnessed by the land.

Each journey is guided by somatic wisdom and intimate relationships with Mongolian artists, activists and spiritual teachers.

Why Mongolia?

Every offering is built on trust, listening, and connection to the unseen.
