Kyoto
Sacred Journey
November 1 - 6, 2026
A 6-Day Pilgrimage into Nature, Spirit & Inner Awakening
Join Doni Amoris and friends on a sacred journey to places of spiritual power and beauty in Kyoto, Japan. Let us engage with the spirit of Japan, meditate, connect deeper, and hold ceremonies for divine connection and personal transformation.
This immersive pilgrimage is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the subtle forces of life: the spirits of nature, the wisdom of the elements, and the presence of divine beings that have been honored here for centuries.
Guided by Doni, you will be held in a small, intimate group as we travel together through Kyoto and its sacred surroundings. This sacred journey is designed to nourish the soul, providing inspiration to go forward into life with a deeper sense of awareness, more compassion, more joy, and more love.
This journey is a living prayer.
We will move as a living temple integrating teachings, rituals, and moments of deep rest. Each day includes a guided excursion, mini-workshop, and activation, blending spiritual immersion with gentle adventure.
Together, we open a sacred space to:
-
Anchor and embody New Earth frequencies through presence, nature, and ceremony
-
Receive guidance from ancient Japanese wisdom traditions — honoring Shinto spirits, Buddhist deities, and the elemental world
-
Be gently guided through sacred sites, temples, and natural power places
-
Deepen connection and friendship within a small soul-aligned group
-
Journey inward while exploring the outer beauty of Kyoto
-
Connect with your Star Family at the birthplace of Reiki on Mt. Kurama
-
Treat yourself to the culinary blessings of Japanese food and hospitality
Throughout the journey, we will attune to the presence of:
-
Benzaiten (Saraswati) — guiding creativity, expression, and flow
-
Ryujin — activating elemental water wisdom and dragon codes
-
Kannon (Kuan Yin) — opening the heart and divine connection
-
Amaterasu — illuminating truth, higher self, and soul freedom
-
Amida Buddha — anchoring peace, divine light, and higher consciousness
Each day unfolds as a step in a sacred spiral, guided by these beloved Beings of Light.

What They Say
Dearest Doni, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time and effort you gave me and my daughter in Japan. I will never forget our time together. Japan was truly amazing. The polite people, toilets the food, onsen, temples and shrines. The most beautiful time was our sessions, meditation, talks and walks at divine and sacred places. I feel rejuvanated and blessed after this journey. The sacred journey was so much more then I expected. I thank you for the beautiful person that you are and for the love and light that you shared with us all. - Marie At the Kamakura Retreat, we had the opportunity to visit many wonderful temples and it was a lot of fun. However, the most memorable experience for me was going to the beach and receiving healing with everyone. It felt so good, my heart felt lighter, and I felt so healed that I almost cried. It was the most moving experience for me. I was able to meet Doni, Yuki and the other participants at the retreat, and it was a very positive experience. I'm very grateful. I'm looking forward to the next retreat. - Natsuki I highly recommend Doni's Sacred Journey Japan. We had a great program and we saw lots of beautiful nature spots, temples, gardens, onsens as well as two beautiful cities. We had great food and many experiences of healing and inner peace. Doni had organised everything very well and everything went smoothly. We also had a great group to spend time with. I really hope that we can come back to Japan and join the Sacred Journey again soon. - Kristiina and Iris My dear Doni, words truly cannot describe my time in Japan, or how much I have received: so many blessings, new beloved friends, a deeper connection with an old friend, lots of laughs, learning curves and a deep profound transformation. - Karol I am so grateful for this 'exquisite' and sacred experience. I'm very grateful to you for organizing it in such a thoughtful way. And, I am grateful for your patience, wisdom and flexibility at the same time! It exceeded my expectations and I would love to return in the near future! - Maria
