A Journey through the Sacred Landscapes of the Avalonian Tradition
Presented by the Sisterhood of Avalon
June 21 to July 1, 2009
Pentre Ifan – Pembrokeshire, Wales
Come join with Sisters of the Spirit on a ten-day Pilgrimage where we will explore both inner and outer landscapes and balance conscious sightseeing with ritual, Imram and Avalonian teachings.
We will immerse ourselves in the energies of the sacred landscapes of the Avalonian Tradition, bringing to life the legendary lands of The Mabinogion and connecting with sites held sacred to the ancient Britons. Stand in Druid Groves and chant in Stone Circles. Bathe in holy springs, explore ancestral barrows, and climb ceremonial hills. Experience first hand the mystical energies of Cymru and the Sacred Island of Avalon, portal to the Otherworld and Temple Center of Holy Women.
We will spend five days in Wales, visiting sites associated in literature and ancient folk memory with Ceridwen, Blodeuwedd, Rhiannon, Arianrhod, and Branwen. We will then travel to Glastonbury, believed by many to be Avalon of old, where we will spend the next five days of the pilgrimage visiting this “holiest erthe in Englande” — as well as the ancient sites of Avebury, Stonehenge, West Kennett Long Barrow, Silbury Hill, Stony Littleton Long Barrow, and the holy springs of Sulis in Bath. Time will be spent in experiential workshops, sharing in ritual amidst the sacred landscapes, and immersing ourselves in the spiritual energies of sites associated with the Goddesses of Avalon and the priestesses of old who are our spiritual foremothers.
This pilgrimage will be lead by Jhenah Telyndru, Morgen of the Sisterhood of Avalon, along with Alicia Grosso and Vyviane Armstrong, sister members of the SOA Council of Nine.
There are still a few spaces available — please do consider joining us! For more information and a detailed registration packet, please contact our Pilgrimage Coordinator: pilgrimage@sisterhoodofavalon.org
