Sacred Stones of Avalon
A Crystal Pilgrimage to Reveal the Grail Within
with Ashley Leavy & Nicholas Pearson
March 27th-April 1st, 2023
The land of Glastonbury is steeped in myth and legend. Sacred wells and ancient ruins dot the countryside, each one offering healing and magic to those who seek them. Ashley and Nicholas have teamed up to guide a limited number of guests on a crystal pilgrimage to explore the sacred sites of Chalice Well, Glastonbury Tor, the White Spring, the stone circle of Avebury, Stonehenge, and more. Together we will meet the crystal and gemstone guardians of the landscape.

Accessibility:
Unfortunately, due to its age, the Little Saint Michael’s Guest house is not wheelchair accessible.
Please note that the nature of our pilgrimage includes walking long distances through the English countryside, on both paved and unpaved paths. Much of the landscape we will be trekking has uneven terrain, including cobbled paths and steps that are occasionally steep, so participants should take this into consideration when deciding whether or not to register.

We will allow the following principles to guide us:
- Issues of Human Rights, Equity, and Inclusivity are a part of spiritual work and that they should not be subject to spiritual bypassing.
- We are committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space for all at our event and beyond.
- We celebrate and honor the diversity of the lived experiences of our community.
- We do NOT tolerate hate speech, bullying, or harassment. People who violate this boundary will be asked to leave the safe container of our retreat, and refunds will not be granted.
