Our Focus

The magic of Glastonbury has always been a place of potent cosmic forces, where the root of the Spirit run deep. It is a major part of the aspects of Atlantis, our connection to the Goddess within and our Earth Magic.  There are many neolithic monuments, stone circles, cathedrals, and crop circles that still hold within them their original ancient power. The days of Avalon, Kind Arthur and Merlin is now a crossroads to many transformative doorways and paths where the veil is thin and accessible to many.  Deeply transforming experiences await those ready to experience these energies. This adventure will be a spiritual one, rather than strictly religious.  
Glastonbury is an illuminating matrix from which new consciousness arises, offering inspiration from ancient zodiacs carved into the landscape, The Tor, a hill built as a temple of initiation, and Merlin who helped King Arthur remove the sword from the stone.  Along with Joseph of Arimathea, the uncle of Jesus who made his way to this special place in which Jesus accompanied him several times, and to many seekers say they have “seen” him in Glastonbury.  After the crucifixion, which means not to die but to increase in power, Joseph carried with him the Holy Grail – the chalice which carried Jesus's blood.
In keeping with the mystery of Glastonbury are the ‘St. Michael energy lines’ which psychics and mediums the world over claim to feel their pull. The St Michael’s line is an invisible line drawn across the south of England connecting many historical churches, prehistoric monuments and sites of interest which have an affinity with Saint Michael.  As with everything in life, with the masculine line comes the feminine line, the ‘Mary Line’ which we'll visit in the second part of our adventure in the South of France.
 Here is where the ancient mysteries abound with each step taken and in places of spiritual power, the flaming sword of Love and Truth is offered to all who are ready to claim it. Come join us on this amazing adventure and see what Glastonbury holds for you.

Are YOU ready?

Day 1: Monday Aug. 14

Pick up at London hotel and head west to Glastonbury. Get acquainted and settle in.

Day 2: Tuesday Aug. 15

We enter Celtic lands to King Arthur's Avalon and the mysterious Glastonbury Tor, rising above the wetlands and marshes of the Somerset Levels. Legend has it that a mortally wounded Arthur was brought here after the Battle of Camlann. The Battle of Camlann is the legendary final battle of King Arthur. We visit his gravesite in the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and learn of an earlier legend of Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Grail. By the 14th century, it was a popular belief that Glastonbury Abbey had been founded by the biblical figure of Joseph of Arimathea. We'll visit the tranquil and atmospheric Chalice Well Gardens, where the challice was used to collect Christ's blood from the Last Supper and was said to have been hidden in the First Century by Joseph himself.

It is one of the greatest mysteries of the Isle of Avalon that two different healing springs, one touched red with iron, the other white with calcite, should rise within a few feet of each other from the caverns beneath Glastonbury Tor. Both have healing in their flow. In honour of the Spirit of the White Spring, a Temple has been created here in gratitude for the gift of pure water. A Victorian built Well House that nestles beneath Glastonbury Tor was ideal for this purpose, a blessing indeed. Cavernous and set apart, in blackness or candle lit, mysterious it remains. A wonderful contrast to the sunlit gardens of Chalice Well of the Red Spring. The interior consists of three domed vaults 16ft high, with beautiful bowed floors - like the hull of a boat moored at the portal to the Otherworld. With it's constant temperature, and the sound of the perpetually flowing water, it is a unique and sacred space.

Glastonbury Tor is a hill near Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, was once an island, and many 'Avalonians' believe it to be the island upon which King Arthur was buried – and Excalibur forged. The medieval legend of King Arthur has links to several places in southern England, such as Tintagel Castle and Merlin's Cave. However it here within the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey that he and his wife, Guinevere, are said to be laid to rest. We will be visiting the seven chakras of Glastonbury.

The truly magical town of Glastonbury has something for everyone including a great selection of New Age shopping.

Day 3: Wednesday Aug. 16

We leave Glastonbury and head further West to Tintagel - a village situated on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, England. The village and nearby Tintagel Castle are associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur.

A visit to Tintagel is a visit to King Arthur and to learn all about the legend of the king and his Knights of the Round Table. And while the castle is the must-see spot, there are also other historical locations that are worth tapping up. One of these locations is King Arthur’s Great Halls in Fore Street.

Located below Tintagel Castle, the birthplace of King Arthur, is the cave believed to be where Merlin lived. “The Merlin of Britain" is the title of a lineage of spiritual masters, mystics, and healers. The Merlin we are most familiar with, the wizard prophet of King Arthur's time, is the fifth Merlin of this lineage. The story that we are familiar with in modern times is an amalgamation of hundreds of years of ideas and inspirations. 

Certainly a day of intrigue and mystery.

Drive to Tintagel – 2 ½ hrs.

~ Merlin's Cave

Day 4: Thursday Aug. 17

Avebury is a huge British Temple and stone monument erected around 2,000 BC in the shape of a serpent when seen from the sky. It is a complex of stone circles - inside is a circle of immense standing, and inside there are two more stone circles built during the Neolithic era.

Silbury Hill is very much a part of any visit to Avebury. There are some theories of what Silbury Hill was used for, but it's all a mystery really.

Drive to Avebury – 3 hrs.

Lunch

~ Serpent

~ The Avebury Church

Day 5: Friday Aug. 18

We leave Glastonbury and head further West to Stonehenge, which lies majestically among the chalk uplands of historic Wessex. This complex prehistoric monument has enthralled and allured both historians and tourists alike. We'll discuss the mysticism behind the very existence of this stone complex and admire its powerful presence. Here we'll also open to the energies and explore what the ancient Megalythic stones have to share for our current time through a journey inward.

Have you ever wanted to learn about crop circles or see one? Here's where we'll visit them and also take a look into the exhibition of many crop circles and their mysteries.
