AVALON ASTROLOGY RETREAT & PILGRIMAGE

GLASTONBURY, UK / 7 - 11 AUGUST, 2025

Join us for this truly special retreat offering and opportunity to study Astrology with a professional astrologer whilst immersed in the mystical and magical landscape and sacred sites of Glastonbury, UK.

Glastonbury or "Avalon" is rich with history, folklore, mystery, and intrigue and has been attracting seekers for over a millennia, and is also known as the Heart Chakra of the world. Whether you are an aspiring astrologer or a complete beginner, we would love to welcome you to this empowering astrology retreat and pilgrimage happening during the Summer in the English countryside!

During this 5 day retreat, you'll get to experience daily walks to the Tor following the ancient Michael and Magdalene ley lines that intersect through this land as well as visit other sacred sites around town such as the Abbey, Chalice Wells Gardens, and the White Spring all whilst learning how to use Astrology as as tool for personal - and collective - evolution.

Hosted by Temple of Cosmic Astrology School founder Katie Emma, an incredible astrology program has been curated by her to work alongside these sacred sites and land and to offer you space to connect with yourself in a deeper and more aligned way through your natal chart. We have created an absolutely magical experience and we'd love for you to be a part of it!

“Avalon of the Heart is the Holiest Earth in England and one of the Secret Green Roads to the Soul…”

Chalice Well

WHAT MAKES OUR RETREAT SPECIAL

You will spend your days immersed in the magic of Avalon as we take daily walks to the Tor, visit Chalice Well Gardens and the sacred Red Spring, Gog & Magog, The White Spring, Avalon Orchard (where some of our astrology classes will take place!) and St Margaret's Chapel for a sound healing event on one of the evenings.

Throughout this retreat you will learn various techniques to sharpen your skills as an Astrologer, and to take time out to rest, mediate, journal and reflect. You will celebrate the Full Moon in ceremony with your fellow guests, and explore all that Glastonbury & Avalon have to offer to nourish your mind, body, and soul. We keep our retreat groups small which allows you to receive personal insights into your natal chart within an intimate and supportive group container.

During your free-time hours each afternoon you can schedule a relaxing massage, or explore the High Street in Glastonbury with many enchanting spiritual stores and quaint bookshops to browse (where ancient wisdom and mystical treasures await), cafes, small museums and more.

TRANSITS

During this retreat, there are some powerful astrological transits taking place, and we'll be sharing additional teachings and activities to celebrate these powerful collective alignments.

Grand Air Trine - Mars, Uranus and Pluto

An exciting transit that brings a potent flow of innovation, mental acuity, and transformative drive, fuelling bold new ideas and radical approaches with an intense, rebellious spirit. This Grand Air Trine also becomes a Kite over the weekend when the Moon joins the party to sextile the Saturn/Neptune conjunction and trine Uranus!

Saturn/Neptune Conjunction at 1 Aries

And speaking of, we’ll explore at length the signature 2025 Saturn conjunct Neptune Transit, as it will be in retrograde phase during our retreat days. This transit grounds dreams into reality, blending discipline with imagination and pushing us to manifest our ideals through structure, patience, and a willingness to dissolve illusions.

Full Moon in Aquarius

We'll be holding a Full Moon ceremony to release and heal through the pathway of your own Aquarius house, plus you’ll have private access to the White Spring during this lunation!


DAILY PROGRAM

Our day begin with a group walk up to the Tor for meditation, reflection and grounding with nature. We will then make our way back to the retreat centre via the local springs to replenish our water supplies from the white and red springs.

We will then enjoy breakfast, tea and coffee before beginning our morning astrology workshop for the day on-site.

From midday to mid-afternoon each day you have free-time to pop into a local cafe or bakery for lunch as well as explore all that the High Street of Glastonbury has to offer - there are many wonderful shops, bookstores and more to visit and enjoy. You can also take this time to book an optional massage with our on-site therapist if you wish.

We will gather mid-afternoon for our second astrology workshop - which may occasionally be off-site from the retreat centre - before returning to the retreat space for a delicious and nourishing 2 course dinner.

Evenings activities vary for each night with some of the workshops being mediation/relaxation sessions, a full moon ceremony, stargazing on the Tor and a private sound healing event in a 14th century chapel.

A more detailed breakdown of each day will be provided once your spot is booked.
