Sacred Reunion in Avalon | A Samhain Gathering in Glastonbury

Wednesday, October 28 to Sunday, November 1 2026

At Samhain, when the veils between the worlds grow thin and the candles are lit at night, we are called to step into the mystery, to walk once more in Avalon when the mists have lifted. This is your invitation to a sacred homecoming—into the heart of Glastonbury, the Heart Chakra of the world, where heaven and earth, body, soul and spirit, past and future meet.

Avalon is not only a place upon the land—it is a temple in the Otherworld, a living current of the Divine Feminine, and a remembrance encoded deep within our very DNA. To walk here is to awaken what has always been within you: the memory of wholeness, of magic, of service to the Divine.

​​Over these days together, we will walk the sacred landscape of Avalon (all within distance from our retreat room): the Red Spring, the White Spring, Chalice Hill, and the Tor. In each place, a ceremony will open portals between the worlds, guiding us to ancestral wisdom and the embrace of the Otherworld. We will sing with the land, call to the guardians of the mists, and remember ourselves as bridges between the cosmos and earth in embodied form.

Through ritual, deep journeying, and community, we will activate the memory of Avalon that lies within our soul and DNA. This is more than remembering a story—it is reawakening a lineage, re-weaving an ancient pattern of soul sovereignty and cosmic belonging. As we attune to the Divine Feminine currents flowing through Glastonbury’s sacred heart, we invite Her presence to rise in us once more—restoring balance, guiding us into the era of the New Earth, and awakening humanity’s deeper dream.

Here, too, we will honor the soul lineage that binds us to this holy land. Many who feel called to Avalon today are remembering lives once lived on her sacred grounds, upon her hills, and within her mysteries. As the mists part, fragments of those ancient lifetimes return—echoes of vows once spoken, circles once gathered, sacred fires once tended. To stand here again is to awaken that memory, to reclaim the wisdom of those who came before, and to weave it into the unfolding story of who we are becoming.

To gather in Avalon at Samhain is to stand at the threshold: between the old and the new, between worlds, between who we were and who we are becoming. It is here that we reclaim Avalon as a living mystery, and ourselves as Her kin. The mists are lifting. The song of the land is rising. Avalon is calling you home.
