It was one of the most sublime experiences I have ever had. The combination of amazing elemental nature, with magical spaces to dance and roam, top quality music and offerings, plus fabulous people who came together as if we had always known each other....a gift of the highest order never to be forgotten.

We Return…
Our last Pilgrimage to Tintagel was truly magical. Together we created a culture of celebration, connection, prayer and gratitude in mythic relationship with the land.
This year we have even more MAGIC to share.
OUR PROGRAMME
Nature Dance: Immersing in the Land’s Rhythms
Our nature dances will be immersive experiences in pristine locations, where we tune into the rhythms of the land, sea, and sky. These dances will invite us to surrender to the flow of the elements, moving in harmony with the natural world around us. We’ll attune ourselves to the sacred energies of Cornwall’s landscapes, letting the earth guide our steps and awaken our connection to the ancient wisdom of the land.
Pilgrimage to the Rocky Valley Labyrinth and St. Nectan’s Glen
As part of this mythic quest, we will venture into the wild beauty of the Rocky Valley, where ancient labyrinths carved into the stone whispers long forgotten tales. From there, we will journey to St. Nectan’s Glen, a sanctuary where the veil between worlds is thin. Here, amidst cascading waters and moss-clad trees, we will experience the transformative power of the land, its rhythms syncing with our own. This daylong pilgrimage, including an organic high-quality food pick nick, will be a powerful highlight of our time together.
Merlin Mind: Exploring Sacred Geometry
As a special treat, Yannick Dubois will offer a creative session called Merlin Mind, a meditative exploration of sacred geometry as a template for creating sacred space. Drawing from the ancient craft of the magician, this practice delves into the interplay between the eternal, unchanging realm of numbers and the ever-shifting patterns of nature. With a special focus on the number 3, we will explore the geometries of land, sea, and sky, and the balance of past, present, and future.
Bardic Arts & Fireside Enchantments
Evenings will be filled with Bardic Arts, where we weave together stories, songs, and poetry in playful ways. This is the perfect time for you to relax and let yourself be serenaded by our talented musicians. Our Bardic Circle ceremony offers a space for participations and creative expression, where each of us is invited to share their magic and be witnessed by the group.
Merlin's Cavern
We follow the rising tides to gain access to this profound, natural temple space deep below the infamous castle.. We shall explore with playful curiosity the wild mystery of Merlin, listening for his secret wisdom, and singing together in the resonance of its womb-like darkness.
A Sacred Space for Connection
This retreat will be co-facilitated by Alex (CurlyBard) and Yannick Dubois. Together, we will guide you on a journey of connection to the land, to each other, and to the ancient magic that still pulses through the earth.
