September 1st - 11th, 2008:
Tour Full - Check back soon for 2009 dates
Join Mara Freeman and other leading British authors on an exciting spiritual
adventure in the most beautiful and mystical parts of southwest
England. This is an opportunity to experience the Earth Mysteries of
some of the most powerful sacred sites in Britain!
 Our
pilgrimage begins at one of the thresholds of the ancient earth energy
path known as the
St. Michael Line – Avebury,
with its giant stone circles and serpentine avenues: a unique megalithic
ritual landscape that also includes Silbury
Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow.
Then we follow the line down the pilgrim’s path southwest to
Glastonbury, the legendary Isle of Avalon itself, once called the
“Holyest Erthe in England." Here we stay at the 16th century
retreat house situated within the Chalice
Well Gardens, where flows
the famous sacred spring, a place of healing where legend says the Holy
Grail was hidden centuries ago. For two days, we will be able to wander
in the peaceful gardens, drink from the sacred well and walk up
Glastonbury Tor, the mysterious
hill topped by its ruined tower, which rises like a beacon from the
Otherworld. We also visit to
Wearyall Hill with its holy thorn, and the magnificent ruins
of Glastonbury Abbey with its
fascinating Arthurian legends and lore.
We follow the
Michael Line to Cornwall, the Celtic kingdom
once known as Belerion, the
Shining Lands, for the magical quality of its light – and also because
this is a name for the Otherworld. Cornwall is a peninsula of rocky
coasts, hidden
coves, picturesque fishing villages and wild moors dotted
with the sacred shrines of an ancient people. A stop
at the Michael shrine on
Brent Tor, then
a visit to the extraordinary stone circles
known as the
Hurlers on Bodmin Moor. After a
peaceful night in a country hotel, we
explore
Merlin's Cave
and
Tintagel,
the spectacular
ruined castle on the ocean, King Arthur’s legendary place of birth, and
also visit the faery-haunted wood and waterfall of
St. Nectan’s Glen,
and
Rocky Valley with its Bronze Age labyrinth carving. The far
western tip of Cornwall evokes memories of
Lyonesse, said to have been submerged in a great flood – some say it was
none other than the fabled island of Atlantis. Here we stay
for 5 nights in
a peaceful country hotel located
amidst
some of the most dramatic scenery in West Cornwall.
 A treasury of Earth
Mysteries awaits us at this westernmost edge of Cornwall, a land of
rugged sea-moors strewn with giant stone megaliths, yet concealing more
gentle and hidden folds where flow many sacred springs. We visit
the magical isle of St. Michael’s Mount,
and attune to the energies at the stone circles of
The
Merry Maidens, Boscawen-Un,
and
the healing stone of
Men-an-Tol.
We walk on the hallowed shore where legend says
Joseph of Arimathea first landed in
Britain with his nephew, Jesus. We
follow the ancient
pilgrims’ path to renew ourselves in the waters of
Madron
and
Sancreed
holy wells,
and make contact with ancestral energies at the Iron Age village of
Carn Euny
with its
mysterious fogou or underground passage.
 We experience the elemental power of Bronze Age ceremonial sites
such as
Carn Gluze
and
Carn Les Boel, perched high above the
Atlantic, where the Michael line comes to shore. There will also be time to stroll along pristine beaches and
cliff-top paths, visit the art galleries of
St. Ives, see the
Mermaid of
Zennor,
and soak in the beauty of hidden gardens that wind down to
a secret beach.
 Filled with the enchantment of
sea, stone and light, we circle eastwards back to that most famous
Temple of the Sun and Moon in England
-
Stonehenge,
for a private and exclusive closing ceremony!
At these sacred sites, we will work with the energies of earth
and
sky, star and stone, through special attunements, meditations and
rituals. Throughout the journey, Mara will be relating local legends and stories of faeries,
giants and saints, and teaching the Mysteries of Britain, Cornwall,
Avalon and Atlantis.
Plus Guest Presenters:
 In Avalon,
Nicholas Mann, author of The Isle of Avalon,
Energy Secrets of Glastonbury Tor,
etc.
will be joining us at
the Chalice Well and
reading tarot cards from his own deck,
The Silver Branch.
