inward journey
Mental self-exploration voyage
An inward journey is a process of self-examination or spiritual exploration—turning attention away from external life toward one's own thoughts, emotions, or soul.
The phrase appears in psychology, meditation, and religious contexts: Therapy became an inward journey toward understanding my childhood.
Unlike physical travel, the destination is self-knowledge or inner peace.
