Glastonbury Higher Heart of Avalon Drum Birthing Pilgrimage
The heart chakra of the world.
The Higher Heart Avalon Drum
7-9 June 2024
Welcome to our sacred Drum birthing pilgrimage.
These drums will be birthed in the beautiful energy of Glastonbury Tor, Chalice Well, The White Spring, The Goddess Temple and of course, with The Lady of Avalon.
These will be higher heart drums, drums of unconditional love.
This is a 2 night retreat, accommodation and breakfast is included.
The full cost is £550. You can pay here using eventbrite and their fees or contact Melonie for a bank transfer without fees.
Payment plans are available. A deposit of £150 is required to secure your space and the balance is due 1st May 2024. Contact Melonie for payment plans.
We arrive in Glastonbury for 1:30pm on Friday 7th June and convene at the Avalon room, in the courtyard near the Goddess Temple. Here we will open sacred space and bless our weekend, setting the intention to birth our Higher Heart Avalon Drums!
We will hold a sharing circle and have lunch and choose our hoops and hides to work with.
We then travel to the White Spring, where we will hold ceremony, soak our hides inviting the Lady of Avalon and the energy of the Spring to infuse them, have the option to bathe in the waters and we will sing and drum.
There is the option to eat together at an Indian restaurant (not included in the cost) near the hotel on Friday evening.
On Saturday we gather at the Avalon Room and open our day. Here we will spend time in creation, cutting the hide and the lacing and bringing the pieces of our drums together including a crystal in the beautiful purple of the Lady of Avalon.
Once birthed, we will take our drums to the Goddess Temple. Here we will receive healing, release and empowerment and our drums will receive the energy of the Goddess.
On Sunday we will gather with our newly birthed drums at the Tor, we will drum (with Melonie’s drums as yours will not yet be dry) and present our drums to the directions, inviting the Goddess in the land to walk with us and our drums. We will mindfully walk down to Chalice Well and present our drums to the Well itself. We will bless them with the flowers and trees and gather to close our circle, our weekend, each of us now carrying a Higher Heart Avalon Drum!
