glastonbury | With Ease

20 June, flew in from Berlin to Bristol, arriving around 6 pm, where I caught the buses back to Glastonbury. I get on and Hannamari is also on the bus. I had met her through Michiel last year, and we talked the whole way. There was a heat wave and the bus was really hot. It was nice to enter again and see the Somerset green valleys and trees. And to spot the Tor again as we approached.

I was to cat sit for a woman called Eleanor, and she kindly picked me up at the bus stop. I had come back to Glastonbury at this time for the Summer Solstice.

Eleanor liked to go on trips and so I ended up house sitting for her many times. With her Siamese cat called Madhu, at her place on Tor View Ave. This was a great house sit. I was thankful because it was close to everything. It was quiet and looked out over the levels. I sometimes did cleaning for Juliet at Healing Waters B n B down the road

Summer Solstice

The next morning it was an early rising at 4.45 am for the Solstice sunrise, on the Tor. This 21st of June was a really hot day in the UK.

I bumped into Tara Joy while she was playing music up the Tor. I came down with her. She sat down to play outside the White Springs before it opened. There is a guided meditation every year for the Summer Solstice at the Chalice Well Gardens. It is one of my favourite places in the world. I was there, as was Hannamari. It was a 33 degree day, and there was a heat wave. We had some fun with the sprinklers at Chalice Well as we were so hot. We meditated by the well head. Then we went to the White Springs. We both went for a cleansing dip in there. As it seemed fitting, and it was both of us out our comfort zones.

Hannamari and I were walking down the street. We saw a couple running a competition. It was very easy. We won a few free tickets to a music festival called Samphire in Devon that summer. She couldn’t make it but I went along later in the year.

Lemuria Rising Glastonbury Groups, 7-9pm at the Isle of Avalon Foundation, in Glastonbury. The groups started up again, with guest presenters.

Lemuria Rising – 13 July, The guest presenter for this group with a local, Jessica Boles. A soothing and healing Sound Bath. Syncing with her various instruments, spinning gongs, crystal bowls, large gong, singing chalices and bells.

Lemuria Rising – 4 August. This group was with fellow kiwi Helen Barnes. There was a New Zealand flavour to it. Helen channels and speaks light language. She was in Glastonbury as she was hosting a group in Avalon. So, we joined forces for a Lemuria Rising.

Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 30 August, with guest presenters, Kwun Pang and Kerry Jane. Josh Preston came all the way from London for this group. He is a kiwi. I bumped into him at the shop beforehand. I didn’t know he was coming. He basically whisked it up the Tor, and then back down. Back down in time as we were setting up. And then whisked away bussing back to London before the end.

Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 8 September. This group was with a local, Alexander Comberti, the focus was on toning and expanding the voice.

Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 22 September, with Madeleine Walker (UK), at the peak of the Equinox energies.

Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 14 November, with Kwun Pang. Kwun also speaks and sings in Light Language in his work as a recording artist.

Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 23 November, This group was ‘tune up’, with attuning for the seven chakras. Through light language and toning. This was an intimate group of six people. This was the first time I hosted a two hour group by myself. I had a lot of internal resistance but I did it!

Wick Hollow

I house sat for Michou and Glynis, with their dog Damson, in Wick Hollow. I loved walking Damson through the lanes and around the area to the foot of the Tor. I picked and ate the wild blackberries through the magic lanes. I walked down to the White Springs to collect water. I think I sat for them in June and 20th August to 20 September. I dearly loved staying there and spending time with a great love of mine, Damson.

I was walking Damson one day near the base of the Tor. A woman stopped me to ask for directions to the Egg Stone. So, it was hard to direct her, was easier to take her. So Damson and I were her escorts. She was so happy, she gave me a really lovely Amber necklace.

A fellow kiwi, Atlas came to stay at Wick Hollow for a few nights at the beginning of September.

Divine Templates – Starting on the 8/8, was a three day event. Which was being hosted by fellow countrywoman Gini Collin, whom I knew from New Zealand, together with Amakelia. We went to the Chalice Well together too. There were three women and three men for the event. A few people joined us at different places.

Looking across the levels from behind Tor View Ave

Also had a reading with Delhaina. In which the guidance was to keep bringing the groups to places. So, I was also away hosting groups in Ibiza, London and Ireland that year. It was a busy year for the Lemuria Rising Groups.

On Tor View Ave, back from the journey to Ibiza, London, and Ireland. I had a drum, a tent, sleeping bag, camping mat all there.

For a few months at the end of the year, over the Christmas period. I went to dog sit In North Brewham. I wanted to stay put for a while. To stay in the same place and not move.

For the Traveler

When you travel,

A new silence

Goes with you,

And if you listen,

You will hear

What your heart would

Love to say.

A journey can become a sacred thing.

Make sure, before you go,

To bless your going forth,

To free your heart of ballast

So that the compass of your soul

Might direct you towards

The territories of spirit

Where you will discover

More of your hidden life;

And the urgencies

That deserve to claim you.

JOHN O’DONOHUE

Excerpt from the blessing, “For the Traveler” found in his books: To Bless the Space Between Us (US) / Benedictus (Europe)

Somewhere along the line, I had found out that Glastonbury is often termed as the heart chakra of the planet, and so had felt a calling to go there on my journey back to New Zealand. I flew into London and stayed in Brighton for two nights, then Swindon for a few nights. Then to explore Avalon, to the destinations of Avebury, Stonehenge, and Glastonbury. Staying in Bath and Chippenham over that time, and it was, safe to say, fairly epic.

Nov 22 – Early flight, 7.05am from Berlin to London Gatwick, with Easy Jet. Walking with my bag just after arriving at the airport, someone had dropped their precious duty free cigarettes (lots of them, I just walked on). I got on a train straight to Brighton, staying in a hostel. It was blustery by the beach, winds coming through, crashing waves. I stayed a few nights in Brighton. And whilst there it was nice to meet up with Simon Hall, we had both presented at an Art and Science Symposium in Dunedin. We met at Theatre Royal and went for a walk in the rainy English seaside weather. And later that day I had a chakra clearing with a healer in Brighton. Then bussed to Swindon on the 24th, to stay with someone through couch surfing. They were working and welcoming, and I slept a lot, as I was very tired!

AVEBURY

Nov 26 – Caught a bus at 7.30 am from Swindon and then to Avebury, brought my bag with me and stored it (the museum staff kindly looked after it) and so I was off to explore, it rained a lot.

Avebury is known as one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, and it contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. It is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles.

My Lemurian Seed crystal broke in the middle of Avebury in the pub, getting some late lunch. (English staple – a Jacket potato). I dropped it and it broke in half on the floor. This crystal had travelled with me to many places, Guatemala and Sedona, and many places in Europe. Interestingly enough, this pub is in the middle of the Avebury stones energy zone.

Being at Avebury made for an amazing day, spending time by the stones. It is easy to explore and there are not many people about. And was shown how to dowse, at the shop there. As the St Michael ley line is evidently running strongly through Avebury. It had been raining, so ground was wet, there had been flooding in this area. I was given a lift to Silbury Hill by one of the shopkeepers, as we were talking and she mentioned that it would be good to go there. Because of the rain, Silbury Hill had a moat around it, which it usually doesn’t. Then later, bussed to Bath, as was staying at St Christophers Inn Hostel.

STONEHENGE

Nov 27 – Walked around Bath in the morning, then in the afternoon, went to Stonehenge! I had booked on a bus tour leaving from Bath at 1pm. I met a Japanese women also on the trip and we spent time together at the site. I was graced by the Prescence of the ‘stones’, and tapping into their grounded time.

Back in Bath, at around 5pm went to the ‘Cross Springs’ Roman Thermal Spa. As Bath is known for its Roman Baths, it sounded like a wonderful opportunity to soak. The Cross Bath is an open air thermal bath, that was originally a Celtic shrine, Aquae Sulis was developed around AD 60 by the Romans.

GLASTONBURY

Nov 28 – Big day – Bussed from Bath to Wells then to Glastonbury, took a while to get started there, as I was very tired, so I spent time buying food at the health food shop, and had a meal and a cuppa in a café. I was settling. This was the first time I had been to Glastonbury.

Glastonbury is a town steeped in myths and legends. And the Michael and Mary Ley line dip and dive through the Tor and other spots. When I moved again it was on the High Street, spirit guided me to stand on a spot there for a very long time, when it eased I moved away. The town is full of crystal shops. I headed to the information centre and found maps and such for my day of exploration. Glastonbury town is lovely and compact and so the sacred sites are all within walking distance.

Firstly I went to the Glastonbury Abbey. The ruins of the Abbey are huge, and it feels magical wandering around it. And it seems the Abbey has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain. It holds such a presence and there was a definite spot that I was guided to whilst wandering.

Then I found my way to the Chalice Well, such a peaceful sanctuary. I drunk lots of the sacred water that flows freely from the Well head there. Feeling into the earth energy at certain points, and meditated by the Well head. Spending time near the trees on the way in, and met a man sitting near the Chalice Well, although it is a quiet space, sometimes conversations can emerge.

From there I went up the Tor and saw the sun going down, it had been raining, so the backdrop was drop-flooded plains. It was an amazing sunset, and there was a group up there too admiring from the tower. It looked like an island again, as it once was before the plains were drained. By the way its a bit of a hike up and down the Tor.

Then I quickly made my way to Wearyall Hill, as I wanted to get there before it was properly dark. The Holy Thorn tree was still there then, it was later chopped down. My inner guidance nudged me to let out sound, I knew nothing about toning or its importance then. I had not done this before, but there was an innate knowing and so I opened my mouth and let out tones over that hill.

It was getting dark when I came back down to catch the bus. I met a man at the bus stop, he was very interested when I told him about my journey and what I was learning about energy points. He got out his voice recorder and interviewed me! His name was Franz Graf, an Austrian man. Whom at the time was writing a PH.D. thesis, called. ‘Connection to the Earth: Pagans and “Earth Lovers” in the South West of England’. It is in German, and can be accessed here.

I had missed the last bus from Glastonbury to Bath, so had to get a bus to Bristol and then back to Bath. Then I picked up my bag at the hostel in Bath. Then another bus to Chippenham, to stay at Alex’s. We went out for dinner for an Indian meal. He was doing up an old stables, I think his parents had owned it, it looked really good. I had my own big room, (the room also had a well in it) but not for long! The next morning I was catching an early bus to the airport. I left some of the winter items, hat and scart there, as I was going to warmer climates.

Nov 29, caught bus at 5am to London Heathrow, for a 10.50 am flight with Malaysian Airlines to Bali.
