"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

Stone at Bride's Mound, Glastonbury
Head of King Bladud at the Roman Baths, City of Bath Stourhead Gardens
Glastonbury Tor: St. Michael's tower

This unique 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.


Chalice Well, Glastonbury

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.

Lady Chapel, Wells Cathedral

Wells Cathedral

One of the most magnificent and spiritually alive cathedrals of the Gothic Age with its beautiful Bishop's Palace and gardens.

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.

Tintagel

Legendary birthplace of King Arthur, spectacularly located on the North Cornwall seashore. In 2011, we will spend two days in this fascinating area!

… 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 2011, our presenters will include Paul Broadhurst and Sig Lonegren.
