Magick of Avalon Retreat

Follow the calling to this ancient site of pilgrimage to experience the power of land magic combined with powerful practices and heart-centric community. 

The ancient isle of Avalon - or in this dimension, Glastonbury is a place that must be experienced to be truly understood. The myths and legends are woven into the land, from the Holy Grail to the Great Goddess and the gateway to Awnwnn (the Faery kingdom).  The ancient ones knew the power of this land to activate prayers, intentions and accelerate healing. We will be working with the sacred sites of this land and a series of techniques to connect to your deeper wisdom. 

“Transformative, life affirming, magical, I laughed, I cried, I loved, I went deep inside and I learned to accept love. It was one of the most profound weekends of my life and I'm so excited for the next one! Josh and Laura were absolutely flawless." Alex G ★★★★★

Expect a deeply nourishing and transformative weekend where we will work with these themes, guided by ancient elemental Pagan ceremony, indigenous plant medicines such as Dandelion and Marigold, breath work, somatic practices for resetting the nervous system, heart cohesion work, deep nature immersion, song and vocal/creative expression, mantra, dream work and the tending and attuning to the deeper parts of ourselves that are seeking deeper balance, nurture and love. 

If you’re ready for it, return home melted open to the medicine of your own heart and a knowing of the deeper truth residing in your bones.

A bit about Glastonbury..

The Isle of Avalon (or in this dimension, Glastonbury) is a place that must be experienced to be truly understood. The myths and legends are woven into the land, from the Holy Grail to the Great Goddess and the gateway to Awnwnn. Known in ancient times as the heart of the Druids, and the heart chakra of the world, this major intersection of Lei Lines (energetic veins of the Earth) provides a perfect place to undergo powerful transformation. We love this video that goes into how. 

“Already a month after it happened, the experience of connection at this retreat still permeates every fiber of my being. I still find astounding how they managed to create such a bubble of heightened consciousness over a weekend where connecting with one's self and the rest of beautiful souls on the same journey felt as easy and fulfilling as it could get. Spiritual growth and a renewed sense of connection with my self were marks this retreat left in me I can now confirm are not fading away." David G ★★★★★

“The other people attending the retreat became family..the Ceremonies ran by Laura and Josh were executed with every inch of their being, the music was angelic... the only negative was that we didn't have another day. I departed full of love light peace in my soul and forever grateful to Laura and Josh for everything they did for us that weekend and can't wait for the next retreat, I will be there. Forever grateful.” Leon ★★★★★
