A once-in-a-lifetime journey into enchantment, wonder, & ancient remembering.
There comes a moment in life when something ancient stirs inside us — a longing to remember who we are beneath the noise of modern life. A call to return to the land. To our roots. To the way our ancestors once lived in close relationship with soil, sea, stone, and sky.
This pilgrimage is for that call.
For eight days, we journey through Cornwall and Glastonbury — lands shaped by a mythic imagination, ritual practices, and a deep connection to nature. These are places where people once lived in rhythm with the seasons, listened to the land as teacher, and passed down their wisdom through story, song, and ritual.
This is an invitation to awaken that ancient wisdom in our bodies, and experience it anew in communion with the living Earth.
Cornwall: Wild Coast, Living Earth
We immerse ourselves in Cornwall’s legendary coastline, officially designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and widely regarded as one of the most unspoiled and breathtaking coastlines in the world.
Here, turquoise waters meet dramatic cliffs. Sea caves echo with old songs. Ancient paths wrap around the headlands where the Celtic saints once walked, where fairies are still said to dwell, and where the land carries memory. Memories that can be awoken.
This is a land of enchantment and wonder.
A land where stories live within the stones.
Where the veil is thin.
Where the Otherworld is close.
We walk the old ways.
We sing to the stones.
We practise yoga by the ocean.
We swim in wild secluded coves.
We listen for the spirit-of-place speaking in response.
For surely, something inside us remembers.
Our Home: Trenarren House
We will be staying at Trenarren House, a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian manor house and the former residence of renowned Cornish writer A. L. Rowse.
The house is surrounded by 2 acres of private gardens, with sea views over St Austell Bay, and a short walk leading you to a secluded beach and the South West Coast Path. This beautiful coastal landscape is rich with secret coves, marine woodland, and the remains of an Iron Age cliff fort. It is a place where sea, sky, and land converge.
Trenarren House will be our home and our sanctuary.
The estate includes:
• Comfortable accommodation
• Nourishing home-cooked meals
• Sauna for deep restoration
• Quiet spaces for journaling and reflection
Each morning, we gather.
Each evening we return to share stories, song, and moments of silence.
Walking with the Ancestors
Cornwall lies in the far west of Britain, a land shaped by stories of fairies and mermaids, giants and dragons. These are the heartlands of Arthurian myth, and a place in which magic and mysticism still holds sway. Long before churches or the written word, people here learned from the big book of the wild, taking their direction from wind, water, fire, and stone.
We will follow pilgrimage routes, and song-lines, following in the footsteps of those who came before us — listening as they once did.
This journey is about connecting with place, reconnecting with the ancient human relationship to land, history, and myth.
Myth, Story & Living Legend
We will be joined by Adam Skerrett, storyteller, writer, and walk-guide, who will lead us on myth-walks through the landscapes we explore.
As we walk, Adam shares the living stories of the land, including:
• Celtic myths and legends
• Miraculous stories of saints and beasts
• Wonder tales of mermaids and sea-spirits
• Teachings from the old fairy-faith of Cornwall
These are stories which emanate from the earth, they are part of the ecology of the land; of cliffs, of wells, of coves, and pathways.
We will walk the storied-landscape and hear these tales told, in the places where they say they happened.
Told in the oral tradition
We will feel them in our bodies.
And let them resonate in the soul-ground of our being.
Yoga, Song & Nature Practice
Most of our yoga takes place outdoors — on beaches, headlands, and open moorland. Practices are accessible, grounding, and fluid, designed to open the body, calm the nervous system, and attune us to nature.
We weave in Sanskrit mantra — ancient sounds meet ancient lands.
We sing in caves.
We chant beside sacred springs.
We let our voices travel across cliffs and water.
This becomes a dialogue.
We offer sound.
We listen for the land’s response.
Wild Swimming
We swim in the clear waters of the Celtic Sea, feeling salt on skin, breath in body, aliveness in every cell.
These swims are gentle and optional, yet deeply liberating — reconnecting us to instinct, courage, and joy.
Sacred Journeys include:
Tintagel & Merlin’s Cave
We journey to Tintagel Castle, dramatically perched above the sea and woven with the legends of King Arthur and Merlin.
Here we explore Arthurian myth and ancient pilgrimage routes. Low tide gives access to Merlin’s Cave, where the ocean echoes within the cavern. And we sit, breathe, and offer soft chant.
Holy Well & Coastal Medicine Walk
We visit Holywell Bay, and a sacred spring hidden inside a sea cave, which has long been known as a place of healing.
We enter the cave on a falling tide, to commune with the waters, to chant, and to offer our intentions. From here, we take a medicine walk along the cliff-top paths, listening deeply for the land to open itself to us. The journey will lead us around a stretch of coastline known for seabirds and seals, and to the stunning sandy beaches of Porth Joke.
Conditions permitting, we will swim here together — sea, sky, body, breath.
The Sacred Sites of Bodmin Moor
Bodmin Moor is a wild landscape home to a wealth of sacred sites and natural beauty. We will spend a full day exploring these special places.
We will visit:
• The Hurlers stone circles
• Spectacular granite rock formations
• Wide, open moorland
• Wild river and waterfalls
The stone circles and natural rock formations in this rugged landscape have been visited and venerated for thousands of years. The Mary and Michael energy-line courses through the stone circles, connecting them to many other sacred sites, and onwards to Glastonbury.
We walk slowly.
Take time to sit with the stones.
In deep listening.
Day 7: Glastonbury — The Heart of Avalon
On the final day of our pilgrimage, we travel together to Glastonbury, once a centre for medieval pilgrimage, the place is still steeped in myth and mystery, from stories of fairy kingdoms, to the Arthurian quest for the Holy Grail.
We will ascend Glastonbury Tor, a landmark hill which rises like a green spiral from the Somerset levels. This is a place long associated with Avalon (the Celtic Otherworld), and with ceremony and rites of passage.
From the Tor, we visit the White Spring temple, a living water sanctuary, where you may drink the water which flows forth from the Tor. Dark, candle-lit, and echoing with water, this temple is revered as a place of purification, blessing, and rebirth. Participants may choose to sit, pray, or enter the water for ceremonial bathing.
Travel to Glastonbury is included.
There is an option to stay overnight in Glastonbury, arranged independently. Accommodation is not included in the retreat price.

Joy
Joy has been serving humanity with her heart and soul throughout her life. Even as a young girl, she was marked by a rare quality of presence - woven with magic, wonder, and a deep love for the unseen. Yoga and meditation found her early, and she has devoted her life to sharing these ancient practices as a path of transformation and awakening with others, through classes, workshops, trainings and retreats.
A teacher of teachers, Joy has certified hundreds of students, cultivating a powerful lineage rooted in wisdom and soul. Many of her students now have studios of their own, weaving the web with their own love and devotion to support the world through the practice.
Her offerings are eclectic, alchemical, and inspiring. Holding a Master’s degree in Metaphysics, Joy delves beneath the surface in each moment she has the privilege to share the magic. Her presence is a living invitation to step into your power, your softness, and your sacred truth.
A Sadaka is a practitioner or seeker dedicated to the spiritual journey, this is Joy
Sangita Lakhanpal
Sangita Lakhanpal is a British-born artist, teacher, and singing yogini, rooted in the spiritual wisdom of her Indian heritage. For over three decades, she has studied, practiced, and shared the teachings of Tantric Yoga, mantra, myth, and embodied spirituality.
Her work weaves together classical Sanskrit texts, devotional singing, sound, and somatic practices, offering pathways into deep presence, inner listening, and reconnection with the sacred rhythms of life. Sangita has a particular love for the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, guiding practitioners into direct, embodied experience through its poetic teachings on awareness, love, and union.
As a musician, Sangita creates mantra and sound journeys that bridge her time living in India with her ongoing relationship to sacred landscapes in the UK and Europe. Her music is often born in pilgrimage — along rivers, at ancient sites, and in places of elemental power — inviting a felt sense of belonging to land, lineage, and spirit.
Her teaching is known for its depth, warmth, and accessibility, creating spaces that are both devotional and grounded, where ancient wisdom is made relevant to contemporary life.
Adam Skerrett
Adam Skerrett is a writer, poet, and wandering storyteller with an MA in Myth and Ecology. He leads guided myth-walks across Cornwall, and is currently working on his debut book Mythwalker.
"Adam is exploring the terrain where myth and landscape collide. You may find him in the folds of a fairy tale or on the darkening path to the Grey Wethers stones."
- Martin Shaw, writer, and mythologist.
Sam Fillingham
Sam Fillingham is a rest guide and weaver of the ancient practice of nidra, rooted in her Celtic heritage. After two decades navigating high-pressure modern systems, Sam returned to the power of the pause to help others bridge the gap between worldly demand and spiritual belonging.
Her work is a deep immersion into the restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, and somatic stillness. Sam guides practitioners into the thin places of the internal landscape, where burnout thaws.
A student of the land, Sam’s practice is born from a lifelong relationship with the UK’s sacred sites, from the rivers and limestone edges of the Peaks to the mist-shrouded granite of Cornwall. She curates sanctuaries where the nervous system can finally settle.
