Your Retreat Itinerary

On our three day retreat in Glastonbury, enjoy a long weekend in your Devotion to the Muses with unique practices, workshops and plenty of time to indulge all the sense including time alone to integrate and embody too. Here’s what you can  look forward to as a guide. We like to keep some flow in the schedule to allow space to really drop into the presence and joy of being in the moment too.

Day 1

4pm –  Arrive in the afternoon and check in before meeting the other retreat guests. We’ll set the tone and intention for the weekend with a circle to allow the body to arrive, feel safe and settled. This will follow a relaxing tour of the gardens and a gentle movement experience in the stone circle to unwind our bodies.

7.30pm –  Experience the first of many organic and vegan freshly made dishes with the group in the evening and enjoy the chance to get to know each other. Spend the evening round the fire or settling into your accommodation, preparing yourself for a restful night sleep.

Day 2

8am –  10am – We begin the first full day of our retreat with a gentle body activation session with Candice Quartermain to awaken your organic intelligence through voice, breath, and movement.

10.30am –  After the morning’s session, we gather for a beautiful and relaxing brunch filled with healthy delights to nourish your body, mind and soul, fuelling the rest of the day. Enjoy free time after brunch to relax by yourself, take a dip in the hot tube, or a wonder round the gardens.

1pm –  3.30pm – Mayra Stark will host her voice alchemy sanctuary workshop.

5.00pm - We will serve a light dinner and prepare for the concert.

6pm – We will gather round the circle and begin to prepare for the evening’s concert. We will be joined by a few members in the community for a special concert, film screening and Beltane celebration.

7pm - Concert, ceremony, and dancing round the stone circle led by Marya and Fa Ju.

Day 3

8am –  10am – Our final day begins the same as the previous one, with a body wisdom activation session to awaken your body and voice.

10.30am –  After another delicious brunch, make the most of the location and facilities with a walk, hot tub, time in the garden or rest in the garden room.

1pm –  We’ll come together for a closing ceremony to complete the weekend and honour the experiences shared together.

2pm – 3pm  You’ll enjoy one last snack and tea time together as a group before departing in the afternoon, feeling refreshed, enriched and ready to step back into the world.

3 day retreat with Mayra Stark and friends, including an intimate Beltane celebration concert on the Saturday night.

If you are a creative spirit seeking an intimate playground to birth your wildest dreams, you have come to the right place.

Get Activated in your Devotion to the Muses with unique vocal practices, group singing and Immerse Your Self in the alchemy of singing, writing songs, movement, and diving into the creative goldmine of your inner world.

A unique opportunity to immerse in the richness of creative play in the presence of land and people committed to the mystery and magick of all that sparkles in our imagination wishing to emerge through sound, movement, and voice.

The Apothecary Gardens is simply a spectacular location and this time of year it will be in full bloom.
