Samhain in Avalon: A Sacred Celebration of Ancestors, Healing & Transformation This October, Siobhan and Joa invite participants to experience a truly unique Samhain celebration within the sacred landscape of Glastonbury. As the veil between worlds grows thin, this immersive retreat offers an opportunity to honour the ancestors, connect with spiritual guides and the angelic realms, and open to the wisdom, healing and transformation available at this powerful time of year. Set within the mystical landscape of Avalon, the retreat explores the balance of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine through Glastonbury’s legendary energy lines — the solar St. Michael Line and the lunar St. Mary Line. These sacred pathways run through some of Avalon’s most powerful and revered sites, including Glastonbury Tor, where the beautiful Sambogaya Retreat Centre is located. Over the course of this special weekend, participants will be held in sacred community and invited into a deeper connection with themselves, one another, their ancestors and the land. Through ceremony, sound, movement, ritual and meditation, the retreat creates space for healing, connection, spiritual renewal and remembrance. The Samhain celebration will include: Sacred Frankincense & Rose Ritual Ceremony to connect with the ancestors Sacred Sound Taoist Sounds & Qi Gong Movement & Dance Fire & Drumming Ritual Sacred Geometry Meditation & Crystal Grid Activations A private visit to the Sacred White Spring for a water ritual Connection to the land through Drum & Ritual On-site sauna, plunge pool & hot tub Held at this potent turning point in the Celtic wheel of the year, the retreat offers a chance to honour what has come before, connect with the wisdom of the ancestors, and embrace the transformational energy of Samhain. It is an invitation to walk the sacred pathways of Avalon, reconnect with the land, and remember the ancient wisdom held within both the landscape and the self.
