Details

"Back to Avalon: A Journey to the Heart of the Medicine Woman" is a 5-day immersive retreat of remembrance, unmasking, and reconnection with your wild expression and unique medicine. Blending sacred embodiment, dance, music, theatre, creative ritual, and wild wisdom, this intimate experience unfolds within the sacred landscape of Avalon. This heart-centred and transformative journey follows a gentle daily rhythm of movement, creativity, reflection, pilgrimage, and ceremony. Every element is thoughtfully designed to support women in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, reclaiming their wholeness, and remembering the authentic medicine they are here to share. Expect laughter, meaningful connection, soulful exploration, and moments of deep transformation as we weave our individual stories into a collective dance. Hosted in Glastonbury, UK, from 13–17 September 2026, this all-inclusive retreat offers an affordable, intimate, and non-institutional experience, creating a welcoming space where every participant is seen and supported. No previous experience is needed. Whether you are new to embodiment, creative practices, or women's circles, this beginner-friendly journey welcomes anyone who feels called to its invitation. We call it a journey because each day unfolds like a living story, with its own rhythm and arc. You are invited to become the main character of your own unfolding while walking alongside a community of like-minded women, rediscovering who you are in deep reconnection to Avalon's nature.

Testimonials

info

"[...] On the last day, I already felt different from the day I arrived. I feel this experience unlocked the first important step for the shift I was desperately longing for. Isabella is one of the kindest human beings I've ever met. She can make you feel at ease and safe, even in the most discomfort. She provides guidance and a safe space for you to let go. Nothing is forced; everything comes up naturally, with every activity, one step at a time. [...]"

Béatrice Bortoloso, Italy

"I absolutely recommend this retreat. This transformation journey helped me in ways I didn't even know I needed. I felt so much support, sisterhood, safety, connection and inspiration. All the women that I had the luck to share this journey with were amazing in every way. This retreat changed my life forever. I will carry this experience for the rest of my life with so many lessons learned and my heart very full of love. It was very healing. And thanks so much to Isabella for all her hard work, dedication and creativity to make all of this possible. She is such a ray of light and kind soul. I felt the love in everything. And thank you Jonathan for the amazing food. Such a great team. I felt at home. I plan to come again someday."

Sónia Dias Vitorino, Portugal

"My 4 days at the Alcanada Retreat went beyond any expectation I ever had. It was a truly magical time in which I met sisters for life. Isabella is extremely professional, profound and creative in her craft. She took us through a beautiful journey in which we truly got to uncover our true selves and begin radical shifts within ourselves. I am walking away with life skills and a path which has been uncovered through this fantastically organised journey. The house itself is in the most beautiful place, and the delicious vegan food cooked by Johnny was impeccable. I cannot recommend this special retreat more! It truly was transformative. Thank you Isabella for giving me the power to embrace my feminine power!"
