Today I’m feeling beyond blessed. There are only 3 spots left for the Return to Avalon pilgrimage!
When I first came up with the dream of leading international excursions to sacred sites in the 90s, I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to make it a reality.
And even deeper, I didn’t yet understand how profoundly this work would touch the soul — mine, and the women who would one day walk beside me.
Back then, it felt like a glimmer of a dream.
It was just quiet knowing that certain lands held something special.
That some places were not simply destinations, they were places of deep medicine.
I knew that I was drawn to certain areas and cultures likely from previous lifetime experiences, but I didn't know why the land itself called to me and others.
I truly believe when you feel a deep desire to visit a place, when it lingers in your body, when it whispers in your soul, it is because that land carries medicine for you.
Certain places awaken dormant parts of us.
They stir memory at a cellular level.
They help us shed identities, grief, and old energies we didn’t even realize we were still carrying.
And Avalon… is one of those places.
A landscape woven with myth, Magdalene currents, priestess lineages, and deep Earth centered wisdom.
There is a reason so many women feel the pull toward Glastonbury.
Avalon means “Isle of Apples.”
In Celtic symbolism, the apple is the fruit of the Otherworld…of wisdom, rebirth, and feminine initiation.
In the Arthurian legends, Avalon is the mystical island where the wounded King Arthur was carried after battle, not to die, but to be healed and restored by the nine priestesses of Avalon. Among them: Morgan le Fay, often misunderstood, yet originally known as a powerful healer, seer, and priestess.
Avalon was not simply a place.
It was a sanctuary of feminine wisdom.
Long before churches rose on the land, this region was a center of earth-based spirituality. The hill now known as Glastonbury Tor is believed by many scholars and mystics to have been a sacred mound aligned with ancient earth energies.
Some link it symbolically to the Celtic Otherworld, a threshold between realms.
The surrounding landscape once lay amid marsh and water, appearing as an island rising from the mist, a liminal place between worlds. A place of initiation.
The Druid priestess of Avalon lives in myth...and myth always carries buried truth. The priestess archetype represents women who were guardians of sacred wells, herbal medicine, earth rites, moon mysteries, and initiatory wisdom. Women who understood that healing is cyclical. That death is a gateway. That sovereignty begins within.
So why are so many women feeling called there now?
Because Avalon is a land of remembrance.
In times when women are shedding old identities…
When we are healing ancestral grief…
When we are reclaiming voice, sensuality, leadership, and spiritual authority…
Avalon acts as a mirror.
It does not give you something new.
It awakens what was always yours.
The land holds a frequency of feminine restoration. It’s not loud, not performative but rather deep, cellular, and ancient.
This May, we will walk this ancient landscape.
We will trace the mythic threads of priestess, Magdalene, Avalon, and earth wisdom.
If you feel the pull, this land may be calling you too.
