Milk & Honey Retreat - 11th-13th September 2026
Walking the Goddess Path in Glastonbury
Milk & Honey have long been offered to the Goddess as symbols of nourishment, sweetness and devotion, this retreat is the embodiement of that.....n embodiment of that. It’s your invitation to soften… and receive. To join an intentionally small gathering on the potent land of Glastonbury, to immerse yourself in beauty and the sacred.
It’s your invitation to soften… and receive. To join an intentionally small gathering on the potent land of Glastonbury, to immerse yourself in beauty and the sacred.
There is something about Glastonbury…you feel it before you can explain it. The land is rich with myth, alive with a potent energy. It’s what keeps me coming back time after time.
Something in us recognises this energy … responds… awakens. When you walk the Goddess path here,
it can bring clarity, unexpected insight,
and a deep remembering of your gifts and power.
Over this weekend, we’ll gently open to that.
The Goddess Path is a return…to your body, your intuition, the rhythms of the Earth, and the divine within and without. Not as an idea....as an embodied shift....a homecoming.
Imagine this…
You wake to birdsong and soft sunlight streaming into a serene, luxurious retreat nestled in the mystical landscape of Glastonbury. There’s nowhere to be, no one to take care of, and nothing you need to do - except receive.
This isn’t just a weekend away.
It’s a sacred pause.
This retreat is your invitation.
An immersive, luxurious experience designed to nourish your body, awaken your spirit, and reconnect you with the vibrant, authentic self that longs to rise.
Held in the lush, myth steeped countryside of the Somerset Levels, this intimate retreat offers a carefully curated blend of restorative practices, soul nourishing rituals, and deeply rejuvenating moments.
From elegant accommodations and a private chef to yoga, breathwork, sacred site visits, and more, every detail has been lovingly crafted to support your healing, transformation, and empowerment.
There is a rare kind of luxury in being able to fully exhale -knowing that everything is taken care of. On this retreat, you’re invited to step out of the role of organiser, caretaker, and decision maker, and into a space where you can simply be.
From nourishing meals to potent ritual and serene surroundings, every detail is thoughtfully handled, allowing you to slow down, soften, and let go.
Whether you're craving deep rest, spiritual renewal, or the space to rediscover your own truth, this journey is here to hold you.
More than just a retreat; this is an invitation to release your day to day. Reconnect. Emerge as the radiant, empowered, relaxed version of yourself you know is waiting.
What is the Goddess Path?
You may look around at the life you’ve created and know, deeply, that something is missing. On paper, everything may appear fine. You may be successful, capable, endlessly dependable. Yet beneath the surface there can be exhaustion. Numbness. A quiet ache. A longing for more meaning, more softness, more connection, more you.
The Goddess Path is about returning to the parts of yourself that were buried beneath responsibility, expectation, pressure, and survival.
It is the path of remembering your intuition, sensuality, creativity, connection to the Earth, voice and truth.
The Goddess Path is not limited by gender; it is an invitation to reconnect with the Divine Feminine energy that exists within us all. The feminine is not weakness or passivity, but a powerful force of intuition, creativity, embodiment, compassion, sensuality, emotional wisdom, and connection to the rhythms of nature and spirit. In a world that often values constant doing over being, the Goddess Path invites us back into balance, into softness without losing strength, into presence, feeling, and deep inner knowing.
There is perhaps nowhere more resonant for this journey than Glastonbury. Long associated with Avalon, the Priestess traditions, and the mysteries of the Divine Feminine, the land itself seems to carry an ancient remembrance. From the healing waters of Chalice Well to the sacred stillness of the White Spring and the mythic energy of the Tor, Glastonbury offers a rare opportunity to step out of ordinary life and into a landscape where the sacred feels tangible. Here, walking the Goddess Path becomes more than metaphor; it becomes an embodied experience of reconnecting with the parts of yourself that modern life may have asked you to silence.
Personally, I have found there is something profoundly transformative about walking this path in Glastonbury. The land itself seems to call things forward. Grief long held in the body....Dreams pushed aside.....Wisdom waiting beneath the noise of everyday life. People often leave Glastonbury feeling clearer, lighter, more alive, more themselves than they have in years.
The land here doesn't “fix” you. Infact it can be profoundly activating and sometimes challenging as well as nourishing and supportive - it brings what each person needs individually. It reminds you who you are.
This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the constant demands of modern life and enter a different rhythm. A slower, sacred rhythm where you can finally hear yourself again. Where your nervous system can soften, your body can breathe, your heart can open and you can stop performing and start inhabiting your life fully.
Imagine returning home feeling deeply rested, inspired and connected to your inner guidance. Knowing you can make decisions from intuition, feeling at home in your body and knowing on a bone deep level that your needs matter too.
This is the medicine of the Goddess Path. Once you /begin walking it, life changes.

A Weekend That Stays With You Long After You Leave
The true magic of this retreat is not only what happens during the weekend itself, it is what happens afterwards. I love hearing back from those who attended about the way the retreat weekend has rippled out into their every day lives. It can impact:
The conversations you finally have, boundaries you finally set, creativity you begin expressing, the way you start listening to your body, decisions you make from self trust rather than obligation, having the courage to honour what you truly want -the list goes on!
Some of the feedback I've received includes:
“I feel like myself again.”
“I remembered who I am.”
“I haven’t felt this peaceful in years.”
“Something inside me shifted.”
When we are given the space to rest, reconnect, and remember ourselves transformation becomes inevitable.
Where will I be staying?
Just outside Glastonbury, nestled in the peaceful Somerset countryside. Our spacious, light and beautiful luxurious home for the weekend is a traditional stone barn conversion and offers the perfect blend of seclusion and soul.
This tasteful sanctuary is serene and stylish. It's close enough to Glastonbury to soak in its rich heritage and potent energy, yet far enough away from everything to feel like a true escape. Located in the same grounds as an animal rescue centre there are also gorgeous animal friends to meet if you choose!
What will I be eating?
Every meal on this retreat will delight your senses. Created by our private chef Lucy food will be nourishing, and intentionally created using the finest seasonal ingredients.
Thoughtfully designed to restore your energy and support your wellbeing, each dish offers flavour and holistic nourishment, aligned with your intentions for the retreat.
Experience food as a celebration of seasonal abundance, prepared with exceptional care, this is food that grounds you, restores your energy, and enhances your capacity to receive, rest, and reconnect.
The menu will be vegan, with dairy options for milk, butter, cheese etc available for those who would prefer.
Where will I be visiting?
No visit to Glastonbury would be complete without experiencing the potent energy found within it's sacred sites.
You will experience some of the area’s most iconic and energetically charged sites, and a considered pace means you will have the time to really enjoy them.
Chalice Well Gardens: The Red Spring....Where healing waters have flowed for over 2,000 years. Tied to the mysteries of the Holy Grail and the Divine Feminine, the gardens are an exquisite oasis of calm, rich with symbolism, stillness, and sacred beauty.
Exclusive access and ritual at the White Spring: A sanctuary of candlelight, mineral-rich waters, and powerful energy. Long honoured as a place of healing, the White Spring is home to the sacred flame of Brigid and invites a visceral sense of devotion and awakening.
Glastonbury Abbey: A timeless sanctuary steeped in legend and spiritual heritage. Once a revered monastic centre dating back to the 7th century, its graceful ruins now offer a space for quiet contemplation and reverence.
Glastonbury Tor: An iconic landscape of myth and magic. With sweeping views over the Somerset Levels, the Tor has long been thought of as a gateway between worlds, a place where earth and sky meet, steeped in Avalon’s legend and the immense energy of the land.
This is more than a tour; it’s an intentional journey through Glastonbury’s most spiritually resonant sites. There will also be time to explore the town itself - visit the Magdalene Chapel, browse esoteric bookshops and quirky independents, or simply enjoy a coffee in one of its enchanting cafés.
What else will I experience?
Each day on this retreat unfolds as a gentle yet powerful journey back to yourself. Mornings begin with potent breathwork, meditation, embodied yoga and somatic movement to awaken your body, heart and mind, ground you into presence and create spaciousness within. Or perhaps your mornings will begin with a luxurious lie in and a soak in a bubble bath - the choice is yours!
You will be guided through a rich tapestry of soul nourishing practices, including yoga, somatic practices and embodied movement , sound healing ceremony and learning self energy work that impact on a deep energetic and cellular level to bring your body, mind, and energy into harmony.
These practices release stored tension, ignite your inner vitality, and shift stagnant energy, allowing you to feel more grounded, clear, and emotionally balanced , while giving space to what has been hidden to be witnessed and what is ready to rise to express.
Within the retreat space, ceremony and ritual become a powerful container for healing, clarity, and transformation. These moments are not about performance, they’re about presence. They create a sacred pause where you can honour what you’re releasing, what you’re calling in, and who you are becoming. Through ritual, shifts becomes deeply anchored not just in your mind, but in your bones and energy system and you can come back to your truth, your vitality, and your radiance.

How can a group retreat be a bespoke experience?
Pre retreat, an optional online consultation will help provide Lindsay with a deep understanding of your current state of being and the intentions you wish to cultivate over your time together. These insights allow her to tailor the experiences on retreat, such as daily yoga and somatic practices, breathwork, sound healing ceremony and energetic supports to encompass each person’s intentions and aspirations.
On the retreat we are an intentionally small group, to ensure every guest receives truly personal attention, there will be a maximum of 8 other participants.
This creates an intimate, boutique experience where you are more than just part of a group – you are individually seen, heard, and supported.
After the retreat, an online community session to help you integrate your experience into daily life, offering the opportunity to reflect on your post retreat evolution and receive expert guidance on how to continue cultivating your growth. This holistic approach ensures that you benefit as much as possible from your time on retreat and it’s conclusion marks not an end, but a powerful new beginning.

You Might Be Thinking…
“I don’t usually put myself first.”
That is exactly why this retreat matters.
So many of us have been conditioned to believe everyone else’s needs should come before their own. Over time, this can leave you exhausted, disconnected, and running on empty.
Choosing yourself for one weekend is not selfish.
Often, when you finally allow yourself to receive care, rest, and support, everything else in life begins to shift too.
You do not need to earn rest, you are worthy of it just as you are.
“I’m worried I’ll feel awkward or won’t fit in.”
This retreat attracts women and people who are often craving the very same thing you are; connection, authenticity, healing, rest, meaning. Many arrive feeling nervous about coming alone.
By the end of the weekend, they often leave with deep friendships, a sense of belonging, and the relief of realising they no longer have to hide parts of themselves.
You do not need to arrive as the most spiritual, confident, or healed version of yourself, just come as you are. Everything offered is invitational, grounded, and held with warmth and compassion.
“I’ve never done anything like this before.”
You are welcome here.
Whether this is your first retreat or your fiftieth, every practice is designed to meet you gently where you are. There is no pressure to “get things right,” no expectation to perform, and no need for prior experience with yoga, breathwork, ritual, or energy work. It is not about perfection, it is about presence.
Many people discover that trying something different becomes the very thing that opens the door to profound change.
“I can’t switch off or relax.”
Then your nervous system may need this more than you realise. Modern life keeps so many of us in constant overdrive; always thinking, organising, responding, giving. Often, we don’t notice how exhausted we truly are until we finally stop. This retreat has been intentionally created to help you soften slowly and safely. Through nourishing food, beautiful surroundings, embodied practices, rest, ritual, nature, and being fully cared for, your body begins to remember what it feels like to exhale.
You do not need to know how to relax before you arrive. That is part of what this space is here to support.
“What if I become emotional?”
Then you will be held with compassion. When we finally slow down, emotions we’ve been carrying for years can sometimes rise to the surface. This is not failure. It is often part of healing. I am not a "love and light only practitioner", and am comfortable holding space for whatever may arise.
There is no expectation to share anything you do not wish to share, and you will always be encouraged to honour your own boundaries and needs.
This retreat is not about forcing transformation, it is about creating a safe, nurturing space where whatever is ready to unfold can do so gently.
“I’m not sure I can justify spending money on myself.”
The truth is, many spend years investing in everyone and everything else while placing themselves at the bottom of the list. But what is the cost of continuing to ignore your own wellbeing? The exhaustion? The burnout? The disconnection? The constant postponing of your own needs?
This retreat is an investment in your wellbeing, your healing, your nervous system, your joy, your future self.
The impact of giving yourself this kind of care often ripples into every area of life long after the weekend ends.
Payment plans are available because support and renewal should feel accessible, not impossible.
“I’m worried about coming alone.”
Many people do. And yet coming alone can become one of the most powerful parts of the experience.
There is something hugely transformative about choosing yourself independently. About stepping into a space where nobody expects anything from you except your presence.
Within the intimacy of this small group, genuine connection forms naturally. Shared meals, sacred sites, conversations, laughter, tears, rituals, and rest have a beautiful way of dissolving the sense of separation many of us carry.
You may arrive alone. But you will not feel alone for long. You can choose how much time you wish to spend in your own company and how much you wish to be in community.
“What if this is exactly what I need?”
Then perhaps this is your sign to stop postponing yourself!
Perhaps this retreat is not something you happened to find. Perhaps it is something your soul has been searching for.
