Picture

Step into the living myth of Avalon — where ancient stone circles, priestess lineages, and the heartbeat of the Earth awaken the soul.

In this time of great transformation, we invite you to journey into the sacred landscape of England, where the veil between worlds is thin and the call of the Goddess rises from the land. This pilgrimage is a remembrance — a return to your roots, your power, and your spiritual lineage. Together, we will walk the 7 Portals of Avalon, experience a full-day Beltane celebration in Glastonbury, and enter the inner circle of Stonehenge in private ceremony, where timeless energies converge in silence and sacredness. We will spend a full day at Avebury’s majestic stone circle, one of the most powerful yet often overlooked sacred sites of the Earth. Through ceremony, storytelling, ancestral song, and guided ritual, we will be held in initiations with modern-day Druid and Priestesses of Avalon, keepers of the old ways who carry the codes of remembrance for this time.

This is more than a trip — it is a sacred return.
A mystical immersion into the wisdom of the Earth,
​the whispers of Avalon, and the ancient wisdom that stirs within us all.


Explore London before the official opening of our journey.
​
Although our sacred journey officially begins on the morning of April 28, you are welcome to arrive in London a few days earlier to rest after your international flight and enjoy some time to explore the city at your own pace.
For your stay, we recommend the Petersham Hotel in Richmond — a beautiful property just 20 minutes from Heathrow Airport and only 8 miles from central London. (Accessible via Richmond Station on the District Underground Line, South West Trains, and bus route 65.)
Please note that there is no organized group itinerary or agenda for London prior to April 28 — this time is simply for you to rest, integrate, or explore as you feel called.
Our pilgrimage begins at 9:30 AM on April 28, departing from the Petersham Hotel (Nightingale Lane, Richmond, Surrey, TW10 6UZ).

If you choose to stay elsewhere, please make sure to arrive at the hotel no later than 8:30 AM to allow time to load your luggage onto the bus and prepare for departure.

​April 29 - Avebury
A Day of Earth Magic in Avebury with a Druid Priestess
On this sacred day, we step into one of the most powerful and enigmatic landscapes on Earth — the great stone circle of Avebury, an ancient temple of the land where dragon lines converge and the heartbeat of Gaia can be felt beneath your feet.
Guided by a Druid Priestess, we are welcomed into the ancestral realm of the Earth Keepers — those who walked in deep communion with the land, stars, and seasons. As we enter this living circle, we are invited to open our senses, awaken our intuition, and receive the codes of wisdom stored within these ancient stones.
In sacred ceremony, we will connect with the elemental guardians and the spirit of the land itself. We will walk the serpent path, align with the ley lines, and learn to attune to the subtle messages carried by the wind, the stones, and the sacred geometry of the Earth.
Our Priestess guide will share Druidic teachings, an alignment with the high frequency of this ancient stone people that speak not only to the mind, but to the soul. Through meditation, movement, and communion, you may find that something long-forgotten awakens within you — a memory of when you, too, were part of the ancient priesthood of the Earth.
This is not just a visit — it is a soul remembrance, a reclaiming of your place in the sacred circle of life. The day will close with a moment of silence and offering, giving thanks to the land, the ancestors, and the unseen forces that have held this portal of power for thousands of years.

​April 30- STONEHENGE - private entrance
Stonehenge: A Private Pilgrimage Into the Ancient Circle of Light

As the morning sun rises over the English countryside, we journey to one of the most mysterious and sacred sites on Earth — Stonehenge. Nestled in the ancient landscape of Wiltshire, this prehistoric temple of standing stones has captivated the souls of seekers, sages, and stargazers for millennia.

We arrive not as tourists, but as pilgrims. The winds shift as we approach, and a hush falls over the group — as if the stones themselves are whispering, “Welcome back.” Towering and timeless, each stone stands as a sentinel of a forgotten age, aligned with celestial patterns, solstice light, and the heartbeat of the Earth.

Guided by Vera Lopez and our dear sister and Druid Priestess, whom holds deep reverence and ancestral memory of this sacred place, we are shown the ceremonial way to enter — with respect, silence, and intention.

We are granted private access to the inner circle, a rare and profound privilege. As we step within, the outer world fades. Time collapses. You are no longer just a witness — you are part of the circle.
Here, within this vortex of ancient wisdom, we align with the great ley lines of the Earth. We feel the resonance of the stones, still humming with purpose and power. We are guided in meditation and energy attunement, receiving light codes from the celestial geometry above and the sacred geometry below. Each step, each breath, becomes a remembrance — a reconnection to your soul’s lineage.

We explore the many mysteries: Was this a star map? A healing temple? A portal for otherworldly beings? The truth, perhaps, lives in the space between the stones, in the silence they invite us to hear.

As we return to our lodging later that day, the sacred still echoes in our bones. The evening is free — a time for gentle integration, journaling, rest, or simply gazing into the stars with new eyes and an open heart.
Stonehenge does not simply reveal its secrets — it awakens what has always lived within you.

May 1st are reserved for all the Beltane celebration in Glastonbury

A Beltane Celebration in the Heart of Avalon
Today, we step into the radiant magic of Beltane — one of the most ancient and joyful festivals on the Wheel of the Year. Celebrated midway between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, Beltane is a time of igniting passion, welcoming abundance, and honoring the sacred dance between the Divine Feminine and Masculine. It is a threshold — a moment when the veils part and the Earth sings her wild song of fertility, beauty, and awakening.
Having already walked the sacred paths of Avalon — offered prayers at the Chalice Well, climbed the winding path of the Tor, and attuned ourselves to the spirit of the land — our Beltane celebration feels especially potent. We are no longer visitors here. We are part of the living story.
This day is devoted to delight, ceremony, and embodied joy. We will gather in ritual to call in the Sun’s golden fire, weave flower crowns, light the sacred flame, and dance between the worlds. Through song, movement, storytelling, and sacred union rites, we celebrate the union of Earth and Sky, Spirit and Body, Heart and Soul.
Our ceremony honors not only the turning of the season, but the blossoming of each one of us — a time to plant intentions for love, creativity, vitality, and divine connection. In the spirit of ancient Beltane traditions, we will open our hearts to the joy of being alive, and let the land initiate us into the deeper mysteries of growth, beauty, and sacred reciprocity.
As the day unfolds in laughter, sacred play, and soul-deep remembrance, we become one with Avalon — and Beltane becomes not just a festival, but a living experience we carry forever.

May 2 - Wells

A Day in Enchanting Wells
​

Our fee day in the storybook charm of Wells, the smallest city in England, yet brimming with timeless beauty and rich medieval history is filled with fun, culture and connections. From the moment we arrived, we were swept into its magical atmosphere — a place where cobblestone streets whisper ancient tales and every corner feels touched by grace.
The morning brought us to the heart of the city’s vibrant Saturday market, a true feast for the senses. We wandered through stalls filled with handmade treasures, local delicacies, colorful produce, and joyful music echoing through the air. It was a moment to slow down, savor, and connect with the local spirit.
We meandered along Vicar’s Close, the oldest continuously inhabited street in England, where history lives in every stone. Then we stepped into the breathtaking Wells Cathedral, a 12th-century masterpiece of sacred architecture. The light filtering through stained glass, the soaring arches, and the tranquil Lady Chapel dedicated to Mary invited a deep sense of reverence.
In the afternoon, we explored the elegant Bishop’s Palace, a serene sanctuary of history and natural beauty. The medieval chapel, lush gardens, swans gliding across quiet pools, and the enchanting Green Man carvings all whispered of the sacred balance between nature, spirit, and human hands.
Wells welcomed us with open arms and left a mark on our hearts — a town of ancient magic, peaceful beauty, and soulful delight. We ended the day feeling blessed, inspired, and more connected to the quiet wonder that still lives in these sacred places.

Sweet Dreams!

May 3 - Mary Magdalena Day

Picture
Mary Magdalene & the Liberation of the Feminine Soul

In the sacred heart of Avalon, our pilgrimage today will take us to a profound communion — a soul encounter with Mary Magdalene, She who was once silenced, shamed, and misrepresented... and who now rises as the liberator of the Divine Feminine.

Led by Vera Lopez and our Avalon Priestess, this day is a holy remembrance and a reclamation. Together, we enter sacred space to meet the Magdalene not as sinner, but as High Priestess, Beloved, Teacher, and Mirror of the Christ Light. Through ceremony, silence, and guided soulwork, we reconnect with Her presence — not only as a historical figure, but as a living force within each of us.

We will explore the ancient veils placed over women for centuries — the bindings of guilt, shame, and unworthiness— and through ritual, voice, and vulnerability, we will begin to unravel the false stories we’ve inherited. In the light of Mary Magdalene’s truth, we find the courage to liberate ourselves.

This is a day of deep soul alchemy — a sacred initiation where the pain of the past becomes the power of the present. As we peel back layers of suppression, we celebrate the return of the sovereign feminine, the wild and holy woman, the priestess, the lover, the mystic — You.
​
In the sacred embrace of Avalon, we remember:
You were never sinful — you were sacred.
You were never meant to be small — you are the embodiment of light.
You are Magdalene rising.

May 4 and 5 - Glastonbury/Avalon Gates

Walking the Seven Sacred Portals of Avalon

Over the next two days, we will enter a sacred rhythm with the land—called forth by the whispers of the unseen and led by our Celtic Priestess, a vessel of the Goddess and Saint Brigid. Through ceremony, story, and soul inquiry, we will walk the ancient paths of Avalon, where veil and earth entwine.
Each portal we cross is more than a place—it is a threshold. A moment in time where the outer journey mirrors the inner pilgrimage. With every step, the land invites us to shed what no longer serves and to remember who we are beneath the roles, wounds, and masks.
This is not just a walk—it is a rebirth. Through sacred questions, elemental encounters, and the silent wisdom of moss-covered stones and holy waters, we will pass through seven gateways that stir the soul awake. We will listen deeply.

We will remember what was forgotten. And we will reclaim parts of ourselves that have long been waiting for our return. In this ancient, enchanted landscape, transformation is not a metaphor—it is alive. And as we walk it together, we do not merely follow a path—we become it.

and through the sacred with yourself. Within the land there are several portals
through which you can journey into a deeper connection with yourself,
working with myth and legend and with the mystery that is within the land.

travel through the mists of Avalon.

May the path rise to greet your feet,
Guided by the whispers of your soul.

And the sun kiss your face with golden grace.

And may the flame within you burn ever bright.
