August 6 - 13, 2016 Day 1. Saturday, August 6. Arrive Heathrow; Group Transfer to Glastonbury: Group Meeting; Welcome Dinner (D)
This Sacred Sites Journeys tour is LAND ONLY. You are responsible to book
your international flights to and from London's Heathrow International Airport. IMPORTANT:
Please book your flight to arrive by 8:00AM, so that you will have time to clear
Immigration, Baggage Claim and Customs and transfer to Terminal 5 (if you do not
arrive there) for our 11:00AM group meeting and transfer. NOTE: If you’re not able to
arrive by 8:00AM, we suggest that you fly in a day early. There are several airport hotels
where you can spend the night. This will also assist you to overcome jet lag and be rested
for the beginning of your spiritual journey. On our
arrival we check in at charming Pilgrims Bed and Breakfast, located a
two-minute walk from the heart of downtown. We've been using this B & B for our
groups for the last 8 years. They operate a non-smoking, ’shoe-free’ house, so
please feel free to bring your slippers to keep your toes warm. A sheltered smoking area
is available in the garden. They have a ‘come and go as you please’ policy and
provide front door keys for all the rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the house
and gardens. All rooms are en-suite with their own shower. All
rooms are warm and comfortable, with hairdryers and tea/coffee-making facilities, plus
little extras which makes you feel at home. Afterwards we enjoy our Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant. We'll have a chance to begin getting to know each other a bit by sharing our stories of how and why we've come to be here. Overnight Glastonbury. Pilgrims Bed & Breakfast.
This morning we're off to Glastonbury Tor.
Rich in legend and mythological associations, the Tor may have been a place of ancient
ritual. Today, it is still a destination for spiritual seekers. The terracing on the
slopes of the Tor may be the remains of an ancient observatory, a
seven-tiered sacred mount, a great three-dimensional labyrinth,
a ceremonial way to the Otherworld. At the top of the Tor stands the remains of
the Medieval St. Michael's Church, dedicated to Archangel Michael. We take the
footpath to the top to enjoy its sweeping view of the Somerset countryside. Take time to
gaze at the landscape; you can see for miles. Though the Tor is a majestic hill rising
enigmatically above the flat surrounding meadows, it's no ordinary hill! Some say
it's home to the King of the Fairies, Gwyn ap Nudd, a psychopomp who helps those who cross
over to the Otherworld. Centuries of legends and folklore about the Tor all arrive at the
same conclusion: it is a place where the veil between the worlds is thin. You will have
time for individual meditation to connect to
these powerful energies. Day 3. Monday, August 8. Bath: Walking Tour, Cross Bath Private Entrance, Roman Baths (B)
Depart later morning for Bath, a World
Heritage Site since 1987. The city has a variety of theaters, museums, and other
cultural and sporting venues. Upon arrival enjoy
lunch on your own. Then Michael will lead a walking tour
of the city, which may include some of the following: The Circus consists of three long,
curved terraces designed by the elder John Wood to form a circular space or theatre
intended for civic functions and games. The games give a clue to the design, the
inspiration behind which was the Colosseum in Rome.[153] Like the Colosseum, the three
façades have a different order of architecture on each floor: Doric on the ground level,
then Ionic on the piano nobile and finishing with Corinthian on the upper floor, the style
of the building thus becoming progressively more ornate as it rises. Later this afternoon visit the Roman Baths complex, a
well-preserved Roman site for public bathing. The Roman Baths themselves are below the
modern street level. There are four main features: the Sacred Spring, the
Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum
holding finds from Roman Bath. The buildings above street level date from the 19th
century. We have a private booking for our group at the Cross Bath.
This historic pool for bathing was rebuilt, in the style of Robert Adam by Thomas Baldwin
around 1789 and is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. The warm
water spring was possibly used before the nearby Roman Baths were developed. The name is
believed to commemorate the body of St Aldhelm resting there on its journey from Doulting
to Malmesbury Abbey in 709. The healing powers of the bath were one of the reasons for the
foundation of St John's Hospital, around 1180, by Bishop Reginald Fitz Jocelin and is
among the oldest almshouses in England. In the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries the baths
were frequently visited by royalty, increasing their popularity. In June 1688, Mary of
Modena, James II's wife, gave birth to a son, Prince James nine months after bathing in
the Cross Bath. The Melfort Cross, was erected in 1688 to celebrate the birth. The bath
was refurbished in the 1990. We have 90 minutes to relax in the thermal waters! Bring your
swimsuit!
This morning experience a Special Private Access Entrance at the Chalice Well, a pilgrimage site for many thousands of years for those seeking physical and emotional healing from its iron-red waters, thought by some to represent the blood of the Goddess. During the Middle Ages and in the 18th Century Glastonbury gained a great reputation as a place of healing, and the Well was one of the centers where pilgrims came to take advantage of its curative powers. Today the waters of both the Red Spring and the adjoining White Spring still have a reputation for their cleansing, healing and transformative qualities. Like pilgrims who have come here since ancient times seeking physical and emotional healing from its iron-red waters blessed by the Goddess, we too may receive our healings! At the bottom of the garden we stop at the pool that has water flowing into it through a series of flowing steps from the body of the Goddess Herself. We then continue to the main well, with its cover in the shape of the Vesica Pisces, one of the most fundamental symbols of sacred geometry, symbolizing the Sacred Marriage, the divine union of the male and female energies. Here at this ancient sacred place, Lynne and Michael will lead a meditation to reflect on Divine Union. Then walk around
the corner for our private entrance at the Well House for the White Spring next door to the
Chalice Well. For thousands of years seekers have been drawn to the mythical Isle of
Avalon, which was once an island separated from the mundane world by an inland sea. From
its heart under the Tor, the water still rises and falls in profusion, presenting one of
the greatest mysteries of the Isle: two different springs, the Red Spring touched red from
iron and the White Spring, which is actually several springs that arise
from the Tor. They're mixed in a mixing chamber that is behind the cottage located above
the spring. One of these springs contains chalybeate water, similar to Chalice Well water,
which gives rise to some thoughts that the water from the Chalice Well may actually have
its source within the Tor. Once the water leaves the White Spring building it flows
underground in a completely separate plumbing system to the Chalice Well. Return walking to town. Free time and lunch on your own. OPTION: For those who would like to experience the ancient energies at WearyAll Hill and Bride's Mound, this will be a later afternoon visit with Michael. WearyAll Hill (seen in the photo taken from Glastonbury Tor) is where Joseph of Arimatheia on his arrival from the Holy Land supposedly planted his staff, which flowered into a hawthorn tree. Genetic testing of the surviving tree has shown it to be a species found in the Middle East. Legend has it that Joseph landed here, rested on his staff, and it sprouted branches and leaves. This old shamanistic tradition indicates that 'this is the place'. The chances are that Glastonbury was well known at the time, and that he had either been invited here or knew it could be a refuge, amongst people who would understand the early Christians' plight. Tradition has it that he was a rich metals trader who traded with Britain for tin from Cornwall and lead from the Mendip Hills just north of Glastonbury. Bride's Mound is a tiny little mound just near the foot of Wearyall Hill. Tiny it may be, but its history is great, for legend has it that it was a gateway to Avalon where pilgrims, arriving by boat from Ireland and Wales, would stay in vigil through the night, before passing on up the processional way to Avalon. Arthur is said to have had a vision of the great Goddess here, and Mary with her son, and St. Brigid of Ireland are said to have stayed here. Hence the link with Bride (Brighde, Brigid). Early dinner
on your own, or plan to have snacks at the B and B after our ceremony at the Goddess
Temple. Return walking to our B and B. Overnight Glastonbury. Pilgrims Bed & Breakfast.
After breakfast we're off to begin to explore and experience the local sacred sites and ancient mysteries! We begin our exploration of the area at the huge and mysterious Silbury Hill, a grass-covered man-made chalk mound that is the biggest prehistoric artificial mound in Europe. Evidence from radiocarbon dating indicates that Silbury was constructed about 4,400 years ago in the Neolithic period. Its construction is estimated to have involved roughly 4 million hours of work using 500,000 tons of material, mostly chalk that was quarried and cleared from the surrounding terraces and ditches. Some people see the Hill as a symbolic effigy of the ancient Mother Goddess that was associated with fertility rituals which marked the course of the year. The festival of Lammas in August, when it is thought Silbury was founded, celebrates the first fruits of the harvest. Next we walk across
the highway to West Kennett Longbarrow, a
Neolithic tomb or barrow,. It's one of the most impressive and well-preserved burial
chambers in Britain. Archaeologists classify it as a chambered long barrow; It has two
pairs of opposing transept chambers and a single terminal chamber used for burial. The
entrance consists of a concave forecourt with a facade made from large slabs of sarsen
stones which were placed to seal entry. The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow
began about 3600 BCE, which is some 400 years before the archaeologically-determined first
stage of Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BCE. This was at the same time as
the great stone circle at Avebury was begun, and may signify a change in the focus of
belief and religion. Michael
will lead a short meditation to connect with the Ancestors.
This morning we journey to the city of Wells, the country's second smallest city. The name Wells derives from the three wells dedicated to
Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the grounds of the
Bishop's Palace and cathedral. There was a small Roman settlement around the
wells, but its importance grew under the Saxons when King Ine of founded a
minster church in 704CE, around which the settlement grew. Wells became a
trading center and involved in cloth making before its involvement in both
the English Civil War and the Monmouth Rebellion during the 17th century.
We depart early morning to
Stonehenge
for our private entrance inside the
Stonehenge circle. There is much debate as to the age of Stonehenge, as well as who built
it. History says that the site was begun in the agricultural Neolithic Age and was
completed in the Early Bronze Age by early Britons known as the Beaker Folk, so called
because of beakers, drinking vessels, found in their grave goods. Around 1500 BCE some
disaster or systems collapse progressively brought the impressive Megalithic Age to an
end, not only here, but throughout the whole of Britain and Ireland. Although we can never
know exactly who the architects were who planned Stonehenge, the face sculptured into the
side of trilithon stone 54 does give us cause to wonder if he or she was so influential
that his/her facial features were placed here to be preserved forever as a representation
of the Divine Marriage, the concept of Sacred Marriage between an Earth Mother and Sky
Father, that was universal in early or primitive agricultural and Goddess-oriented
societies. Those who are sensitive to this massive temple claim that the megalithic blocks
are constantly radiating tremendous amounts of energy. Some say it is because the ancient
Druids turned themselves into the stones, while others assert that they hold the power of
innumerable Druid ceremonies held there in the past.
Leave Glastonbury after an early breakfast with Michael
and Lynne Orchard and head down into Cornwall via mysterious and enigmatic Bodmin
Moor, a granite moorland 80 square miles in sizedateing from the Carboniferous
period. The name 'Bodmin Moor' is a relatively recent name, actually being an Ordnance
Survey invention of 1813! It was formerly known as Fowey Moor after the River Fowey which
rises within it. More than 200 Bronze Age settlements with enclosures and field patterns
have been recorded and many prehistoric stone barrows and circles lie scattered across the
moor. You'll have the opportunity today to visit some of these.
Our first stop is the famous Hurlers stone circles,
a Bronze Age Monument (c.1500 BCE) of three stone circles. The name "Hurlers"
actually derives from an age-old Cornish legend, in which men were playing Cornish hurling
on a Sunday and so were transformed into stones as a punishment. Just to the west of the
circles are two standing stones known as the Pipers. Local legend has it that they are the
figures of two men who played tunes on a Sunday and suffered the same fate - they were
also turned to stone. The stone circles have diameters of 115 ft, 138 ft and 108 ft.
Little is known about the original use/meaning of The Hurlers; the earliest mention of
them was by historian John Norden, who visited them around 1584. They were also described
by William Camden in his Britannia of 1586, but it wasn't until 1754 until the first
published and detailed description of the site by William Borlase.
After breakfast we
head into Tintagel.The first stop is Arthur’s
Hall of Chivalry, an atmospheric and historic building built in the 1930s by
Frederick Thomas Glasscock as the home of the Order of the Fellowship of the Knights of
the Round Table of King Arthur. Everything in these halls is based upon the Arthurian
Romances; all of the art and symbols are directly associated with King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table. We enter The Halls through the gift shop and continue through
to the Small Hall to view a brief audio visual presentation of the story of Arthur. We
leave and pass along a corridor into the Hall of Chivalry. Here we see 125 shields of
granite, set along its full length, representing the passage from darkness into light.
Granite is also used in the huge canopy over the throne, weighing six tons and supported
by nine massive granite pillars. There is also a granite Round Table, along with two
wooden ones. The Halls contain seventy three beautiful stained glass windows designed and
crafted by Veronica Whall during 1930 – 33. The galleries of The Hall of Chivalry
contain ‘The Windows of the Knights’. Each Knight of the Round Table is
illustrated by his unique shield depicted in the windows. By each window, the
Knight’s story is told in words. The Hall of Chivalry holds eighteen windows
portraying the principal virtues which the Knights of the Round Table agreed to observe.
In the Hall of Chivalry, these virtues are graded in quality, starting with the less
spiritual ones such as Strength, Perseverance and Obedience, through to those considered
more spiritual such as Purity, Faith and Love. Day 10. Monday, August 15. Tintagel: St Nectan’s Glen; Boscastle Witchcraft Museum (B)
L to R: Witchcraft Museum in Boscastle, Waterfall at
St. Nectan's Glen, Laybrinth Rock Carving in Rocky Valley
After breakfast we
depart for Rocky Valley to see
the possibly ancient labyrynth rock carvings and to view the dramatic
meeting of the Trevillet River and the sea. Rock carvings discovered in 1948 are believed
by some to be from the early Bronze Age (1800-1400 BCE). The two carvings take the form of
circular labyrinths. Modern scholars believe that, as the labyrinths were carved on a
quarried wall with a metal tool, they are likely to be less than three hundred years old.
In 2005 it was claimed that another carving can be seen, much fainter than the first two,
leading to speculation that the two well-defined carvings are copies of ones that are much
earlier: this has yet to be proved.
Afterwards visit St Nectan’s Glen, an area
of woodland in Trethevy near Tintagel, which is held sacred by many people who visit it.
Stretching for around one mile along both banks of the Trevillet River, the glen's most
prominent feature is St Nectan's Kieve, a spectacular 60 ft. waterfall. The walk through
woodland takes us alongside a stream with many places to stop and take in the calming
beauty of the water. At the amazing and powerful waterfall, we may be blessed to
experience its legendary healing qualities.Who Was St Nectan? Around 500CE St Nectan built his small sanctuary beside the Trevillitt River, just above the waterfall and the kieve (Cornish for 'basin'). Tradition has it that behind the chapel was a tower where he hug a silver bell that he rang to warn sailors of submerged rocks on the treacherous Cornish coast, or to summon help from the Celtic monastery near Tintagel castle for vessels in distress. From his vantage point he would have been able to see both coast and castle from the top of his tower. Or, perhaps he rang it just to assure sailors that he was praying for their safety. As the end of his life approached, the area was split apart by bitter differences between the older Celtic and the newer Roman faiths. St. Nectan prophesied the return of the older, simpler faith, vowing that his bell should never ring for unbelievers; he carried it to the bank above the kieve and dropped it into the basin. It's said that his bell still tolls today. When he died, two strange ladies who are believed to have been his sisters came and, acting upon his wishes, they placed his body, the sacramental vessels and other treasures into an oak chest. They diverted the waters of the fall, dug a grave in the river bed below the Kieve and buried the chest. The river turned back to its natural course and now flows over the saint's grave. We’ll take time here for exploration of this place of incredible natural beauty and peace, as well as individual meditation.and reflection. Continue to Boscastle. Enjoy lunch on your own with the group in one of the harbor-side cafes in this small village and fishing port of Boscastle, a few miles northeast of Tintagel. The village with its picturesque harbor is a very popular tourist destination. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is owned by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbor. The Forrabury Stitches, high above the village are ancient "stitchmeal" cultivation plots. Large areas of the Valency Valley are known for its connections to the novelist and poet Thomas Hardy. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbor, and a visitor center in the Old Smithy. After lunch visit the Museum of Witchcraft, which houses the world's largest collection of witchcraft related artifacts and regalia dating from prehistory to today. This very unique privately-owned museum has been in existence since 1951 when it first opened on The Isle of Man. It's been in Boscastle since 1961 and is amongst Cornwall's most popular museums. It also houses a large library with around 5,000 books which is used by researchers from the UK and around the world. Return to Tintagel. Free time. Dinner on your own with the group at the hotel restaurant. Overnight Tintagel. Camelot Castle Hotel. Day 11. Tuesday, August 16.

From the Archives
Glastonbury is an amazing place that touches everyone. The B&B was PERFECT. The hosts were very friendly and yet accommodating and professional. Weren't we lucky with the weather? Koko Newport was also wonderful. She was relaxed, well informed, and made us feel like family at her business site with meals and hospitality. She was also excellent in letting nature take its course----friendly, while dropping little nuggets of wisdom when asked. - Beth G, WI The sacred journey was a
great introduction to Glastonbury and its many gifts. It had the right amount of scheduled
time with ample free time. I found Andrea to be very conscientious of the individuals and
the group, without trying to micromanage or force and experiences. This Goddess-oriented journey was all I could have dreamed of and more. It was a healing pilgrimage for myself and my soul. The visit to the Chalice Well and the ritual with Koko were very meaningful and moving for me. Stonehenge and the Tor were exceptional! I loved Andrea's perceptions, and also her channeling session. Made a lot of sense! I felt she was very plugged into all of us and our issues. She was a ray of sunshine! - Raven M, ME

Michael
Orchard is a national treasure! His knowledge of the history of the various sites we
visited helped them to come alive for all of us! His supportive, compassionate and gentle
manner he displayed with each person in the group assisted us all to create a group
synergy that was both safe and dynamic. Michael and Lynne, our Priestess of Avalon, led
profoundly spiritual rituals and meditations. We were all able to easily connect with the
Ancestors, the various Gods & Goddesses, as well as those places within ourselves that
were calling for transformation. Andrea Mikana-Pinkham is a seasoned and very able tour
director who made sure that everything went very smoothly, so that we had time at each
site to make our connections, as well as have free time to enjoy Glastonbury. Thanks so
much to all of you for a lifetime spiritual adventure that I'll never forget! 
Glastonbury/Avalon is a beautiful and magical place – a sacred site in
and of itself, and near to so many other sacred sites in England. I would recommend this
tour to anyone who is called to it. There is so much to explore and experience, from the
ruins in Tintagel to the crop circles! The private entrances to the Chalice Well and
Stonehenge were highlights of this tour for me. These are things that most people do not
get to experience, and this is what makes Sacred Sites Journeys special. Koko Newport is a
delightful and fascinating woman, and I thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from time spent
with her. It was also incredible to have Nicholas Mann as a speaker. His knowledge of the
history and legends of Glastonbury/Avalon held us all in thrall during his lecture. I was
privileged to have a reading with him. I hope to return to Glastonbury in the not too
distant future, either as part of a tour or on my own, and I certainly will be interested
in Sacred Sites Journeys to Ireland and Scotland, too! From there, who knows? The world
has opened up to me!
The
spiritual pilgrimage to Glastonbury was excellent! My most meaningful experiences were at
Stonehenge, the Chalice Well, and inside the crop circle. Andrea did an excellent job as
our Tour Director, and facilitator of the meditations. AND, the food at the welcome dinner
was really good! 
combination of introduction and
detail to help one start the integration process into the Magick and mysteries of our
foundations. The experience was a beautiful and fulfilling experience that opened
my eyes to new things. Humorous, fun and intellectual - my mind was fed and I was
left wanting more information, more experience and more time. I thoroughly enjoyed the
Nicholas Mann's visit and discussion; his kind, compassionate and integrity of
manner inspired me to think, to feel and most importantly - to remember. - Jennie
K, ME
