The Gatekeeper Trust
The Gatekeeper Trust was founded in 1980 by a group of people including the late Sir George Trevelyan, Stanley Messenger and Peter Dawkins. It is devoted to personal and planetary healing through pilgrimage. It seeks to rediscover the ancient art of pilgrimage as a way of journeying - with an awareness of the sacred nature of our environment. Individuals and groups in many parts of the country have been exploring and walking the Earth in a new and yet ancient way for more than thirty years.
As Peter Dawkins explains, “The overall archetype of all sacred form (ie a ‘temple’) consists of three principle archetypes: the Wheel of Life, or Mandala; the Chakra System; and the Tree of Life. Every temple, natural or man-made is based on these three design principles. Every natural and human form of life is designed according to and is striving to express these three principles in their fullness. This includes the landscape as well as the whole Planet and each human being (with freewill to strive for such an expression, or not). Like ourselves, the world is in a process of evolution that is manifesting this archetype gradually, stage by stage, in cycles of progressive development and unfoldment. When each form reaches its fullness of expression, it transmutes (ie resurrects) into a body of light – a temple of light, referred to in Western tradition as ‘Solomon’s Temple’. Such a body of light consists of shining, exquisitely structured etheric substance. The process by which this occurs is alchemical.”
