Follow the calling to this ancient site of pilgrimage to experience the power of land magic, powerful practices and heart-centred 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). Our ancestors knew the power of this land to activate prayers, intentions and accelerate healing.
“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 ★★★★★
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 Hawthorn, Rose, Lemon Balm and dream medicines, breath work, somatic practices, 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.
“One of the best things I've ever done in my life. So grateful to have met so many like-minded souls that were also on their journeys in life. My heart is brimming with joy as I write this.” ★★★★★ Jonathan
Enter Avalon this Summertime and dive into sacred spring water, connect to the wisdom of indigenous plants, dance, sit by the fire and be guided into a deepening with land, self, community and the otherworld.

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.

“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.

This was a beautiful opportunity to stay in dwellings right next to a sacred site. It was a treat to have the waterfall to ourselves, and the night time meditative pilgrimage to it was nothing less than magical! The location was superb and our guides were kind and nurturing. Thank you so much xxx

A fantastic time away from the city for me. It was at the perfect time of the year to get rain, sun and fun.

My experience of the retreat was deep and powerful, I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with the beautiful ancient land and waters of St. Nectan's Glen over the Easter weekend. Assisted by music and plant ceremonies I was able to access the hidden, neglected parts of myself and was reminded of my place as a part of the natural world, taken aback by her stunning beauty. Our weekend was intuitively facilitated with love and a deep respect for the land and spirit of this magical place. This special connection to earth, air, water and fire at this poignant moment in the year was profound, challenging and ultimately deeply transformative.

It’s hard to find the words to capture the beautiful experience of being with Laura, Lila, and my fellow retreatants last weekend at the magical St Nectan’s Glen. We arrived in the rain and left in glorious sunshine which felt like a perfect metaphor for the journey we had been on together. Everything about the weekend felt so easy, gentle and full of love - it was more than just a retreat, it felt like coming home to myself. There were countless beautiful moments, but the waterfall ceremony will stay with me forever. A week later, and I’m still feeling the glow. Thank you, Laura and Lila, for creating something so special, in such a breathtaking place.

I absolutely loved the Winter Solstice retreat Laura and Josh orchestrated. It was really illuminating in so many unexpected ways. Laura and Josh are the real deal. They are authentic, compassionate and evolved. They are also wise owls but kind and gentle in the application of this wisdom. When I told my sister about the weekend, she was moved to tears, so I’ve realised the impact doesn’t lie solely within the power of the group, or even the individual self-growth. It ripples out much further.
The sprit of Glastonbury is in the people. People like Laura and Josh, who feel the call to (and actually do) help us heal and grow. I’m grateful. Thank you. 🙏

Laura and Josh are experienced facilitators who provide loving support in this journey towards the soul. The incredible variety of activities raised awareness of the whispers of my heart with unexpected insights to guide and nourish. The beauty of Cae Mabon must be experienced. This ancient land is the perfect setting for this magical event. Thank you Laura and Josh for giving so much of yourselves. Ronel

I really enjoyed the retreat with Laura and Josh. It was a very healing experience as they held such a safe, loving, welcoming, and authentic space. The programme of events had enough activities to be engaging, as well as a good balance of space to process the practices. Cae Mabon was beautiful and relaxing, being so close to nature. The other attendees were lovely. I would really recommend going on a retreat with Laura and Josh.

This retreat was an incredible experience and I feel so grateful that I could spend some time nature and deeply reconnect with it. I am especially grateful for the amazing breath work and meditation journeys we undertook with Laura and Josh in a wonderful surroundings . They were profoundly powerful experiences that brought forth beautiful visions of my loved ones, facilitated healing from my past, and helped release significant trauma. These journeys were truly transformative. I feel amazing joy and love in my heart🙏
My first-time experience with cold water immersion was challenging, but my body felt great afterward. It helped me overcome some of my fears and added to the overall sense of renewal and growth I experienced during the retreat.
I also feel grateful for all the beautiful people I met during the retreat. The connections I made and the shared experiences will be cherished in my heart forever. Thank you, Laura and Josh, for creating such a magical and healing space. 🙏 This retreat has left a lasting impression on me, and I will always hold it close to my heart ❤️
