Remembering Avalon –

 

A sacred Invitation for women who long to experience profound spiritual support and satiation.

Glastonbury/ Avalon kisses off the dust of our harsh, uprooted modern society, tenderly unfolding the petals of your being.

Bringing you into a state of deep relaxation in body, heart, and soul, this place is one luscious discovery after another –

An embodied invitation for you to rest completely, into the lap of the Divine Mother.

With our shared intention to re-member our world into wholeness, we will gain the clarity we need to fulfill each of our individual roles in this endeavor.

Together we will pilgrimage to the sacred sites of Glastonbury, Somerset, England.

Excavating our deeper knowing, from the recesses of Feminine Cellular Memory,

We will be changed forever.   

Hip to hip, in the basket of this unconditionally loving Women’s Community – we’ll laugh, cry, feast, dance, play, and pray.

Join us for this unforgettable journey of a lifetime – in Glastonbury/ Avalon where you will know immediately…

…Maybe you already know… that this is a place of your Soul’s Belonging.

I am so very honored, delighted, and excited to welcome you

Home.

June 30th – July 4th, 2023 

GLASTONBURY, SOMERSET, ENGLAND

 

Just a few hours drive from London, Glastonbury is worlds apart. 

As the Mystical home of A V A L O N, they exist as one – Glastonbury/ Avalon – each hanging on opposite sides of the veil.  

No special experience or spiritual merit is necessary to receive the benefit of this holy place. 

She is here to receive all. 

I warmly welcome you, Sister., to join us for this deep dive, this softening, this sweet opening – as we fall together, ever so gently, like blossoms on the breeze, into inner Peace. 

Here, we’re surrounded by a unique kind of quiet, in this Sanctuary where angels converse and the devotion of Mary Magdalene fills the streets. 

This land is so welcoming, so feminine, so yum… woven with real magic, ancient myths, sacred ruins, and Healing Wells.

While the sun-kissed English gardens bloom in their glory, overflowing with herbal allies, the hills roll with beautiful, wild, medicinal plants.

These are the plants that my foremothers used to uplift, align, fortify, heal, and cure themselves and their people.

We will Ally with them.

In this place of palpable Her-story, we experience profound existential relief. Here we can finally stop digging for and ‘translating’, in our search for the teachings of the Goddess.

The search is over. 

Her teachings are tattooed on the body of the land, right here in plain sight – at every sacred place we’ll visit together.

This is a living altar to The Great Feminine.

Alive and well, pulsing as –

AN INTIMATE CIRCLE OF 9 WOMEN,

JOURNEYING TOGETHER FOR 5 DAYS,

FROM THE INSIDE-OUT. 

In addition to and during visits to the Sacred Sites, we’ll explore –

 

The Ways of The Women’s Grove ~ 

 

  • FEMININE EMBODIMENT PRACTICE .:. Through Feminine Embodiment Practice, we experience our bodies & emotions – as doorways into something greater. Dropping-in below the mind, beyond the intellect, a vast reservoir is discovered – containing abundant inner resources. Together we tap this source of our feminine superpowers, experiencing ourselves just as we actually are: magnificent. In Practice, we are untied from the harsh habits of the inner Patriarch, revealing a more authentic, radiant, and fully expressed state of being. The teachings of Emotional Alchemy are central to our Embodiment Practice, empowering us to harness the elemental potency of our feelings – as they live and move inside the body. Learning to utilize emotions as an effective healing tool, we reweave ourselves back into the fabric of our own felt experience. Through this primal and foundational women’s work, we harmonize with the raw, alive, physical & emotional forces. And we become The Medicine of The Real, which our world so desperately needs. 
  • WOMEN’S CIRCLE .:. At the center of this extraordinary journey, is the loving heartbeat of our Women’s Circle. Together, through the timeless women’s ways of honest inquiry, Council, nurturing touch, and much more, we welcome all parts of ourselves home – to be felt, seen, and known. In this skillful container of growth, rest, and soul-inspiration, we experience a profound sense of belonging – with ourselves, the earth, and each other. The vulnerability, intimacy, and depth of the Women’s Circle challenges us to bring forth more of our presence, truth, and genuine experience, into the whole. This befriending and integration Returns us to the Beauty that we already are. And through the process, we learn to see ourselves and each other with new eyes. These are the empowering, all-seeing eyes of the Matriarchy that we co-create. This unified, compassionate consciousness ripples out into our world, shaping us as part of The Solution humanity is waiting for.
  • EARTH-CENTERED RITUAL .:. Earth-Centered Women’s Ritual is a group attune-ment to the innate wakefulness of the land, ourselves, and the phenomenal relationship between the two. Utilizing the natural elements, and seasonal + lunar energies when we gather, we will enter a state of deeper presence, in which our interconnection is apparent. From here, we gather the gifts of the Earth’s support, our personal knowing, the ancestral voices of the land, and more. Becoming intimate with the local wild plants, the full moon, numerous sacred sites, the weather patterns, and more – we embody the Re-Membering {putting back together of things} that is our shared intention for this journey. In doing so, we restore our phenomenal connection with the planet, as the keepers of her cycles and wisdom. Synchronizing with the auspicious Full-Moon-closest-to-Summer-Solstice when we gather, together we will harvest The Cure that is always right here, under our feet… so that we can share it with our people and our world.

Impressions of Avalon ~ 

Praise for The Women’s Grove

Chameli Ardagh
Founder – Awakening Women Institute

“Marianah Jade is rooted in the deep feminine mysteries and she embodies a unique blend of fierce focus, devotion and vast compassion. Her uncompromising dedication to authenticity and depth in her work is powerful and refreshing medicine for those of us who have had enough of replicas and plastic shortcuts. Marianah Jade’s mission and the further unfolding of her offerings in the world, gives me hope, for us all.”  – Chameli

 

Katie Wise 
Singer, Songwriter ~ Katie Wise and Bhakti Explosion 

“I found Marianah’s groups to be the one space where I could let my shoulders fall, my guard drop, and my true emotions surface. I felt that I could say and feel anything, and it wouldn’t be deemed “wrong” or inappropriate. I loved connecting with the other women, and knowing that I am not alone. It is wonderful to find a space where authenticity is appreciated and tears are seen as a sign of strength. I am grateful to have crossed paths with such a wise, compassionate, and deeply spiritual teacher at this time in my life.” Katie

Martha Hartney
Attorney and Counselor at Law ~ Hartney Family and Estate Law

“…Here I discovered that I’m not alone as a woman and that my internal guidance systems are not unique to me but are shared by all women. I found that the inner voice speaking truth to me all along, is heard by all of my sisters in one form or another. I found myself willing to submit more fully to this knowing…I found compassion for other women’s ‘lost-ness’ in a world dominated by the masculine, and…a woman whispering our secrets back to me, reminding me of what we know. Gently, sensually, sacredly inviting me into my body, into my femininity, my creative center. I found a guide, Marianah Jade, who has devoted herself to understanding the subtle rhythms of the feminine that float under everything that is, often without our notice. She helped me see that in those subtle waves exist a vast, thronging passion of love and devotion and acceptance. Patiently, oh so delicately, she reintroduced me to my magical core, calling out my true nature and showing me places where I can tap into my subtle powers, my cycles, and the wisdom of our foremothers. My wish would be for all the women I love to experience this tribe of womanly power and love that Marianah nurtures. Here we find a home for the weirdness of our womanhood, and give time and space for our powers to heal, process, transform, express, create, and develop ~ so that we all experience the divine feminine within us, and allow it to change the world…”  – Martha

Lesley Glenner 
Owner, Founder ~ HoloBeing Holistic Wellness Institute 

“Marianah Jade…offered me a reflection of myself that was beautiful, whole, and goddess-like. She assumes the best and honors those in her presence in ways subtle and grandiose ~ creating a container of sacred intimacy, feminine attune-ment, skillful transformation, and fun. As a bride to-be, I can think of no better way to step into an embodied feminine experience of myself. The practices Marianah offered have continued to serve me in my life and relationships. I have been more aware of my power as a woman, I have been more available to my partner when I honor my needs for feminine practice, and I have helped other women in transition, to remember their feminine obligations to their truth. I would not hesitate to recommend this to ANY woman who wants to feel good in her world.” – Lesley

Chief Empowered Eater ~ Eat Empowered

“I had no idea what to expect when I signed up…and it was exactly what I needed, infusing me with grounded-ness and joy. Marianah opened my eyes to the power of the moon, which is something I’ve rarely even considered before…and oh the power of the moon! With her loving guidance, I felt it’s open reign like never before and connected into an altered state of receptivity, truth, and raw power. Marianah is a true master at what she does. She is earth mother, female connector, woman empower-er, spirit guider, and leader. This is an experience I want again. Thank you for leading such a necessary event!!!” – Cynthia
