The Pembroke Arms, Wilton (near Salisbury)

Day 2

We’ll rise early for a private sunrise visit to Stonehenge (15 minutes from the Pembroke Arms) for meditation, chanting, setting intentions as the sun rises between the ancient stones. Then we’ll have breakfast at the Pembroke Arms and check out.

We’ll transfer you to Avebury (about a 50 minute drive). If you are driving, you can park in the National Trust car park in Avebury village and we will transfer you with the rest of the group to West Kennet Longbarrow. From here we will take a gentle hike back to Avebury village via Silbury Hill, learning about the history and ritual of these ancient monuments, and maybe sharing a ritual or two… In Avebury village, there will be time for lunch, and (weather permitting) yoga among the ancient stones of one the largest stone circles in the world.

We will then make the transfer to Glastonbury (about a 1 hour drive) for dinner at Sacred Garden Retreat, and where we will stay for two nights in very peaceful surroundings….

What does it cost and how do I join?

Goddess YatraBeautifully curated and soulfully guided pilgrimages to the Goddess without and within.

Curious as to what to expect on our West of England Goddess pilgrimage? How does it fit with physical yoga practices? Join this taster webinar session to find out.

We will work with goddess archetypes that our ancestors in Britain would have revered:Nemetona, goddess of the threshold; Sulis, water goddess; Brighid, goddess of fire, Rhiannon, goddess of air and of

love; and The Cailleach or Morrigan, goddess of transformation. In working with these archetypes, we can recognise them in ourselves, and find our own power to transform our lives.
