Join Mara Branscombe, international mindfulness guide and ceremonialist, on a sacred pilgrimage through the mystical landscapes of southwestern England. 

Ignite your connection to the divine through ritual, sacred movement, and ancient wisdom teachings as you explore the enchanting sites of Glastonbury, Stonehenge, and Dartington Hall. 

Receive sacred rites and healing transmissions to expand your radiance and discover deep connection to source.

Glastonbury – The Heart of Avalon

Begin your adventure in Glastonbury, a realm rich in legend and lore, where history whispers from every hill. Ascend Glastonbury Tor, where the veil between realms thins, and immerse yourself in the healing waters of the Chalice Well Gardens. Here, clarity and inspiration await.

 

Stonehenge – A Gateway to the Timeless
Our sacred journey peaks at Stonehenge, where ancient stones stand as timeless guardians of mystery and magic. In their presence, feel the powerful energies and connect with ancestral wisdom, awakening a sense of purpose and gratitude deep within.

Dartington Hall – A Haven of Creativity and Stillness
Set amidst Devon’s lush beauty, Dartington Hall is a sanctuary for the soul. Wander through serene grounds, meditate in ancient gardens, and embrace the transformative stillness that has flourished for centuries. This sacred site encourages creativity and renewal, guiding you towards your truest self.

This is a retreat of self-discovery, devoted practices, and deep nourishment - held in sacred intention by the wisdom of Mara Branscombe, teacher and guide of the healing arts for 25 years plus. 

Embark on this homecoming journey of the soul, where sacred sites hold the key to your evolution, and the divine source beckons you to rise in body, mind, and spirit.

In Glastonbury we will stay at the stunning Middlewick cottages in full view of our Pilgrimage site - The Tor. 

The quaint, country-style cottages feature oak-beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls, kitchens and lounges with wood-burning stoves, plus TVs, DVD players and Wi-Fi access. 

We will spend the first two days in Glastonbury which will include an excursion to Stonehenge. 

In Dartington we will stay on the Dartington Estate, noted for it's rolling green hills, country air and somewhere you can remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of modern life,

We will spend the last 3 days in Dartington Hall, and we will have the final session together on Friday.
