Couples, partners and friends looking to learn new skills together can head to the Avalon Centre on King Street in Glastonbury for the Valentines Couples Massage Workshop. Hosted by massage therapists Ellise and Cecilia, the afternoon session is designed for pairs without any previous massage experience. Participants will explore communication, consent and boundaries, learning how to listen through touch and tell each other what feels good and what does not. The hosts will guide attendees step by step through simple full-body massage techniques to take home, with both partners getting the opportunity to give and receive. Those attending should bring two large towels per couple and wear comfortable clothing.

Local gatherings in Glastonbury are offering spaces for communal reflection and energy work. At St Benedicts Church, the Community Grief Tending Ritual invites people carrying any form of loss, whether from a death, a changed relationship, or an ended chapter of life, to gather and remember. Guides lead somatic movement, breathwork, guided movement with oils, journalling, and Indian Raag music played on the bamboo bansuri flute alongside prayers and meditations.

Nearby at the Avalon Centre on King Street, two events focus on the Kundalini Activation Process. A weekend non-residential gathering, the GLASTONBURY Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) & Non-Dual Retreat, brings participants together for ninety-minute energy sessions, non-dual transmissions, and visits to the White Spring, Chalice Well, and Glastonbury Tor. For those seeking a single evening workshop, the Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) Glastonbury offers a two-and-a-half-hour session where people lie on mats to receive passive transmission accompanied by music and light touch on chakra points. Both sessions suit most adults seeking spiritual connection, though neither is suitable for individuals with active mania, schizophrenia, or epilepsy.
