Throughout the retreat, participants will work with an Object of Devotion -  a symbolic ritual object that becomes an altar piece, portal and companion throughout the journey.

Together we explore:

• The mythic intelligence of Merlin, Dragons, and Avalon

• Òran Mór as the underlying field of resonance and connection

• Awen as the breath of inspiration that awakens perception

• Voice, sound, and embodied rituals

• Mythic storytelling and the initiatory path of Ceridwen, Taliesin and Merlin

• Dragon lines and reconnecting to the living intelligence of the Earth

• Visiting sacred sites including Glastonbury Abbey, Chalice Well, Glastonbury Tor, the White Spring, and Stonehenge

• Nature listening practices and communion with the land of Avalon

The Mythic Framework

Wyrd — the woven field of relation where all things are interconnected.
Awen — the breath of inspired perception, where understanding arises through direct experience.
Òran Mór — the Great Song of becoming, the continuity of life unfolding through land, body, and memory.
Merlin — seer awareness that perceives hidden patterns within reality.
Taliesin — the poetic voice of lived experience, where insight becomes expression.
Dragons — living currents of the land, carrying the intelligence of the leylines and Earth forces.
Avalon — the misted threshold realm of perception, where meaning reveals itself beyond ordinary seeing.
The Cauldron of Ceridwen — the transformative vessel of change, where experience is broken down and remade into wisdom.

Ceridwen — the enchantress of the Cauldron, guardian of transformative knowledge and the brewing of Awen, who initiates change through deep process, dissolution, and rebirth of perception.
