About this Event
Demeter & Persephone: A Journey Through Myth, Soul & Transformation
19–21 March 2027 | Fri 3.30pm til Sun 3:30pm| Healing Waters, Glastonbury
Weekend retreat with residential/non-residential options
We invite you to gather in the sacred landscape of Glastonbury for a deeply restorative retreat inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone at the powerful juncture of Spring Equinox. This workshop is open to anyone wishing to explore their relationship to the Sacred Feminine within.
For over two thousand years, this ancient myth has spoken to the feminine experience of love and loss, mothers and daughters, descent and return, metamorphosis and renewal. Its wisdom continues to offer guidance for anyone navigating change, grief, transition, or a longing to reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose and belonging.
Together we will explore the myth through the lens of archetypal psychology, contemplative practice, creativity, ritual and shared reflection. Surrounded by the evocative landscape of Glastonbury and held within a small, supportive group, you will be invited to slow down, listen deeply, and honour the rhythms of your own soul.
This retreat offers a gentle balance of teaching, meditation, creative expression, quiet reflection and community. There will be time to rest, to walk, to nourish yourself with wholesome meals, and to discover how this ancient myth may illuminate your own journey of transformation.
Whether you are drawn by a love of mythology, an interest in depth psychology, a spiritual path, or simply the desire to pause and reconnect, this retreat offers a welcoming and compassionate space in which to remember what is ready to emerge.
Facilitated by
Fay Barratt – Interfaith Minister, Spritual Counsellor and Sacred Art Teacher with over fifty years' experience creating and holding sacred spaces.
&
Rebecca D'arcy – UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, Interfaith Minister and trainer, integrating depth psychotherapy, Jungian psychology, mythology and the wisdom of the sacred feminine.
