December 18th-22nd 2024
Hi everyone,
Due to interest in Sarah’s annual UK visit she is opening up an invite to those who are want to join her.
This visit will span over the days around the Winter Solstice and we’ve put together an idea of some details which we can finalise soon. This experience in South West UK will be based around Glastonbury, the world heritage mythical place of ancient Avalon, with visits to some sacred sites including stone circles.
Dates: Days leading up to and including 18th-22nd December 2024
The plan so far:
Dawn visit to Stonehenge:
Welcome in the Winter Solstice at this ancient British temple. The public has rare, unrestricted access to be within the heart of the stones where you can herald in the sunrise in your way, alongside many others from all paths & places. To be a part of a unique & ancient pilgrimage of celebration with an incredible atmosphere is truly special.
Nature constellations & ceremony:
A day visit to an ancient stone circle, this is likely to be Stanton Drew circle in North Somerset where there is unrestricted access. We will constellate and listen to what this sacred land and monument is whispering.
Glastonbury Tor, Chalice Well Gardens and Bridies Mound
We will gather in the heart of Avalon where the ley lines run through Bridies Mound and the sacred Chalice Well of Arthurian tales which lies under the spectacular gaze of Glastonbury Tor, the ancient human made earth pyramid of pilgrimage, myth & legends. Here we can share in small ceremony, constellation & sacred prayer time together.
Other offerings:
+ Friday December 6th- Sunday December 8th – Dream, Nature and Family constellations in the Glastonbury Area
+ Friday December 13th- Monday December 16th – Shamanic Level 1 training combined with Constellation facilitation (How Shamanic techniques translate into constellation work) – only open to those that have worked with Sarah before. If interested, we can send further details by request.
Accommodation:
There are many great Airbnb’s in and around the Glastonbury area which is where Sarah will be based.
Here are a few options of known connections in the area and more can be found on Air BnB website:
The Apothecary Gardens
Cabins or cottage with Talia
Chalice Well Gardens
Food:
Many accommodation places have their own small kitchens unless you’re in a bigger venue. In the town of Glastonbury there is a varied choice of good cafes and restaurants that cater to all tastes and budgets.
What do I bring?
Winter in the UK can be cold & always blesses us with rain! So layers of warm clothing & waterproof outerwear is a good idea!
Footwear that’s comfortable to walk in & is ok if it’s wet or slightly muddy.
Transport:
London Heathrow airport is 110 miles/3 hour drive from Glastonbury and is accessible by coach from the airport although times and coaches are limited.
Generally you need a car to get around so we can look into hire options if required.
Total cost for participants: $1200

“Grandmother Sarah came along in my life journey, after having only studied with masculine teachers. To land on her wisdom was nothing other than the interconnectedness of us all. Being witness to her embodied lineage and her reverence to the lands of Scotland, England, and the United States, affirms Grandmother Sarah’s depth of lived magic which has emerged from her spirited voyage to eldership. Wow!! Sitting with her. Walking with her. Traveling with her. Her wisdom has positively impacted major parts of my life. Thank you Grandmother Sarah for so generously sharing your triumphant stories,”-KL
I work with Sarah both in the US & UK.. What is it that’s different constellating with Sarah in our shared British homeland?
Perhaps it is a word, a glint in her eye, the flick of a limb, a swish or a swirl.. or maybe it is in the listening, feeling, sensing, dancing with the quantum field and embodying something not quite tangible enough to put words to.. and maybe it’s all of these things that Auntie B embodies within the field of the landscape that holds her ancestral bones.. We are deeply thankful that the land sings you back here to share your diasporic wisdom with us again..
