Participant info

We travel with a small group of people who all have an open heart and mind, and share the desire to dive deeper into the magic of life. That is why this trip is less suitable for those who want to visit Glastonbury for purely touristic reasons. The itinerary provides joint activities but also offers you the opportunity to go out on your own. Mario and Nathascha provide a good individual counseling / coaching whenever you need help with the inner (healing) processes that can take place during the trip.

Accommodation

The accommodation is usually a self catering holiday cottage with multiple twin bedrooms. Your stay in a shared twin (and sometimes a 4p bedroom) is included in the fee. Depending on the accomodation a single room might be available (additional fee).

Meals & drinks

Meals and drinks are not included in the travel fee. An indication of costs for meals: 10 GBP or 15 US dollars per week for breakfast, 6 GBP or 9 US dollars per day for lunch and 10 GBP or 15 US dollars per day for evenening meal. Prices of drinks vary depending on what you're having.

Personal expenses

These are also not included in the travel fee. There are loads of magical shops and bookstores. Makes you want to hand them your monthly paycheck! Resistance may be futile.. you have been warned. Telephone costs and other service fees are also at your own expense.

Breakfast

We will enjoy organic breakfasts together while we go over that day's plan. We will all put 5GBP towards a breakfast pot and write down our breakfast preferences on a shopping list.

Lunch and evening meals

Lunch and evening meals are discussed during breakfast or as we go. You may join the group for lunch and evening meals or you might want to be on your own. Lunch is almost always eaten while we are out and about, in a lunchcafé. For the evening meals we can either cook together at the self catering cottage or eat out in an English pub. We know several great pubs with a lovely ambiance.

Means of travel

You will arrange your own flight to Bristol airport where we will pick you up and drop you off for your return journey. During the trip you will be driven in a airconditioned spacious car or minibus, depending on the amount of participants.

• When buying a ticket make sure you will land on at Bristol Airport on Saturday April 30th in between 9am and 11am.
• Your return ticket should depart from Bristol on Monday May 2nd around 3 or 4 pm (or later, or another day if you plan on staying longer)
• Remember early booking is often cheaper than booking at the last moment.

Last but not least, remember to take with you:

• Travel and cancellation insurance
• Valid identity: passport or ID card

Finally

One of the strengths of our tours is that, because we know our way in and around Avalon, we can adapt to activities that arise spontaneously during our journey or participate in a ceremony / celebration with other groups. We never know in advance what the trip will bring us all, we plan a number of things, but whatever is needed for the pilgrims, YOU, will happen!
