 Dive deep into the
Mysteries of Avalon
with
Mara Freeman, Celtic
author and Director of the
Avalon Mystery School, on an unforgettable journey to
explore Southwest England’s most beautiful and evocative sacred
landscapes. Especially designed for the spiritual pilgrim in search of
inspiration and renewal, this unique ten-day
experience will be centred in Glastonbury, the legendary Isle of Avalon
itself, once called the “Holyest Erthe in England." Here
we stay in the heart of Avalon at the historic
Little St. Michael's, a 16th century
house situated within the Chalice Well Gardens,
where flows the sacred Red Spring, a place of healing where
legend says the Holy Grail was hidden centuries ago.
We will be able to
wander in the peaceful gardens, drink from the sacred well and walk up
Glastonbury Tor, the mysterious hill long held to be an entrance to
the Celtic Otherworld.
You will hear unforgettable myths and legends of
King Arthur, Morgan le Fay, and
Merlin;
learn the esoteric lore of the Grail, the Faery
Realm, and other Mysteries; and deepen our understanding through rituals and meditations
that open a portal into the inner worlds.
 Staying within
easy walking distance of Glastonbury Town gives us the
freedom to stroll among its many eclectic shops and cafes,
bookstores and healing centers, as well as visit
other legendary landmarks including:
Glastonbury Abbey,
the lovely medieval ruin where King Arthur and Queen
Guinevere are
said to lie buried; Wearyall
Hill, where the miraculous Holy Thorn of Joseph of Arimathea grows;
The White Spring,
gateway to the faery
kingdom within the Tor.
Glastonbury is perfectly situated within easy reach of
other wonders of the sacred landscape.
Journeys include the following
destinations:
 Stonehenge,
the extraordinary Neolithic Temple of the Sun, one of
the marvels of the ancient world, where we will have private
and exclusive access
for a sunset
ceremony to celebrate the harvest festival of Lammas.
Avebury,
the largest stone circle complex in the world, set in the
midst of a rich prehistoric landscape which includes
West Kennet Long
Barrow,
the womb of the Earth Goddess, and the enigma of
Silbury Hill.
 The City of Bath,
with its unique Roman baths,
medieval and Georgian architecture: once a
sacred spring dedicated to a Celtic goddess, later a
fashionable spa for Jane Austen and her contemporaries.
Wells
Cathedral,
one of the most magnificent and
spiritually alive cathedrals of the Gothic Age with its beautiful
Bishop's Palace and gardens.
Tintagel,
legendary birthplace of King Arthur, spectacularly
located on the North Cornwall seashore.
… plus other sacred
places of beauty,
power and magic that you will never forget!
Mara will be joined by other well-known
authors and presenters,
who are on the cutting-edge of Celtic spirituality and
Earth Mysteries. In 2008, the key presenters will be authors
Caitlin Matthews (tbc) and
Nicholas Mann. For an
intimate and friendly atmosphere, the pilgrimage is open to 11-12 people
only, so we recommend that you
reserve your place
as soon as possible.
"It is to this
Avalon of the heart the pilgrims still go. Some in bands, knowing what
they seek.
Some alone, with the staff of vision in their
hands, awaiting what may come to meet them on this holy ground.
None go away as they came.”
-- Dion Fortune
