Program
The journey unfolds across the magical land of Avalon.
Our playground will be Glastonbury.
Avalon Mystique is an experiential retreat that offers unique spiritual tools to take home.
The program involves ceremony on the land at sacred sites and circle time indoors for dream spell, shamanic journeys and alchemical workshops. The pace is gentle so you have free time to rest and explore the wonders of Glastonbury on your own. The retreat is interactive and creative, with a good dose of humour and lightness as well as solemn time for ceremony and profound healing.
Consider it a dive into the magical worlds of your childhood but with the eyes of the wise witch of today.
Be prepared to be inspired...

Things to note
Although we do our best to stick to the plan, please be aware that the order of the program may vary depending on climatic conditions and other circumstances out of our control, such as wicked winds, troll invasions and the like.
Where to stay?
If you want a residential experience, you can stay in the " Cauldron of Dreams" with me, the house that will host our workshop space. There are only 2 rooms available for the residential option, for single occupancy or shared, on a first come- first served basis. If you are interested let me know. Alternatively you can book your own accommodation in town. There are many great places to stay in Glastonbury for all budgets and taste. I can provide recommendations for places to stay.
Either residential or not, early booking is recommended as there are not many places left in the world for witches to gather so accommodation in Glastonbury gets booked up easily.
Getting there
The nearest airport is Bristol, I can provide tips and travel advice to plan your journey to Glstonbury, unless you wish to ride your broom, in which case let us know and we'll provide directions to the Dwarf & Co. brooms parking lot and repair workshop.
Testimonial
"If you are reading this and wondering whether you should go on that retreat. The answer is 'yes'. You will not find a better guide than Cinzia.... Your personal guides probably know this and have led you to this review to quell your questioning or doubt. Cinzia's knowledge of the terrain, both geographical and spiritual is a gift that you should accept. She held space for our group to share a journey and also walk our own internal paths to meet with whatever was waiting for us. Personally, I met aspects of myself that were old, yet unfamiliar...and also made space for the new and unknown. I was able to completely relax into the experience and let myself be whoever I needed to be, rather than who was needed for awhile. I met a group of wonderful people who provided additional dimensions to the trip. None of us had the same experience, but all of us shared and could drink from the security and deep knowledge that was offered by Cinzia. Do it. The terrain is vaster than you think, the resources more abundant than you can imagine and it is a pilgrimage that you may need to make. Choose well, you will thank yourself later." - Michel Wahome, UK
