Women’s ceremonial and pilgrimage retreat in Avalon, U.K.
9–12 July 2027 | Glastonbury, Avalon, UK
Step into an all-women sacred space designed for connection, reflection, and renewal. This retreat invites you into a healing and empowering circle of women, where authenticity, kindness, and sisterhood are gently held at the center of the experience.
Throughout the retreat, you will take part in meaningful ceremonies with elders, including a gentle Blue Lotus tea ceremony and a Fire Cedar prayer circle. These offerings are balanced with lighthearted moments, devotional singing, sacred texts, mystical poetry, and creative expression.
A highlight of the journey is the pilgrimage to Avalon’s revered sacred sites, including the Tor, Chalice Well, White Spring, and Magdalene Chapel. Walking these ancient lands together offers a powerful opportunity to explore both inner and outer pilgrimage while connecting with the divine feminine mysteries woven into the landscape.
Radasi is joined by her dear friends Draupadi Gershewitch and Urtema Dolphin, respected elders who have devoted their lives to honouring natural ways of healing and reconnection through prayer, herbal lore, sacred fire, and kindness. Their presence brings grounded wisdom, humour, and a genuine approach to feminine energy, harmony, and presence.
This retreat takes place in the Celtic lands of Avalon, Glastonbury, England, a place known for its holy springs, sacred sites, and enduring spiritual significance. Once covered by water, this land is remembered as a sacred isle and a place of women’s spiritual training. Today, Glastonbury continues to draw pilgrims from around the world who come to honour the Goddess and feminine energy that remains deeply alive here.
