Undertake a deepening journey into the transformational Realms of Avalon through sound scholarship, personal practice, and sacred service. Pathways to Avalon is an online program comprised of three in-depth immersions designed to foster authentic personal connections between the seeker, the Realms of Avalon, and the divine guardians of the Holy Isle. These immersion experiences are presented by Jhenah Telyndru (MA, Celtic Studies), author and founder of the Sisterhood of Avalon.

Path One – Seeds of Devotion

Seeds of Devotion is a six month immersion intended to initiate or deepen relationships with the five Welsh Goddesses honored in the Avalonian Tradition: Rhiannon, Ceridwen, Blodeuwedd, Arianrhod and Branwen.

This integrative devotional experience will include story telling, cultural history, mythic deconstruction, inner journeying, magical tools, and the crafting of soul-centered creative projects in honor of these divinities. Anyone interested in a Welsh or Brythonic-inspired spiritual path will find this immersion applicable; the materials and teachings are suitable to everyone, regardless of the tradition one follows. Further, this session is open to everyone, regardless of gender identity.

A private community space for participants will be hosted on Facebook. This is an optional resource for those who wish to connect and share with others who are engaging with this work; there is no requirement to participate, but it is recommended as a way to enrich your immersion experience.
