Programme
PORTAL TO AVALON – MORNING PRACTICES ON THE LAND (Walking, meditation and journeying)
—Friday 4th August: Parting the mists—
We call upon the ancestral portal to the Sacred Isle.
We walk the land in sacred silence, preparing us to meet Her Mystery.
We climb the steps. We attune ourselves. We part the mists.
In this sacred and liminal space in the morning, we enter the depths of our journey.
-We meet at the base of the Tor, in Wellhouse Lane near the White Spring. You will find Andrea waiting for you with a banner.
-No items necessary to participate.
-Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, it could be windy and fresh. We will walk up the tor, where the final ceremonial part of the activity will take
-We start at 07:00. This activity and start time include walking up the tor together at standard-walking speed. Ceremony will end all together at the top. We will end approx. at 08:00, allowing time to comfortably join the Town Hall for the daily activities.
—Saturday 5th August: The Mirror of Avalon—
We meet Her in the heart of Avalon: as the Isle within and the Isle without converge on the Tor, out of space and time.
In a sacred meditation and practice, we take a look into the mirror of Avalon.
We allow ourselves to move, to drift and to deepen our connection. We are once again on the Isle for a time.
We are seen, we See. We take a look beyond, gazing into Her portal.
-We meet on top of the Tor. You will find Andrea waiting for you there with a banner.
-Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, it could be windy and fresh. The whole ceremonial activity will take place at top of the Tor.
-No items necessary to participate.

—Sunday 6th August: The Avalon Blessing—
We celebrate the the glory of Avalon.
We sing and we share a circle of contemplation and bliss.
We receive the abundant blessings of the winds, the sun, the earth and the birds of Avalon.
We call Her to guide us, to inspire us. We rekindle our inner Avalon in communion and ceremony.
-We meet on the Tor, on the Wellhouse Lane side, in the field just after the first gate. You will find Andrea waiting for you there with a banner.
-Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, it could be windy and fresh. The whole ceremonial activity will take place entirely on the grounds at the base of the Tor.

-We start at 07:30 at the base of the Tor on the grounds. Walk up to that point is up to you and at your own pace.
