Access to Glastonbury AbbeyIncluded as part of being a guest at Abbey Retreat House is free access to Glastonbury Abbey. Access bothduring and after hours is at the back of the Abbey Retreat House grounds through our own door.

The Tor, Chalice Well and High StreetAll of the sacred sites around Glastonbury are within walking distance of the Abbey Retreat House. Especiallyclose is the Chalice Well which is a short walk down Chilkwell Street. A path leading up to the Tor islocated by walking up Dod Lane (see map) and High Street is a short 2 blocks away where all the crystalshops, new age book stores and restaurants are located.

HikeWilliam will lead a hike to many of the Glastonbury spiritual sites on Monday between 10am and 4pm. Manyof those who have been on the hike have said it is as meaningful an experience as going to Stonehenge. Thisis a free event and is not part of the class. Those deciding to go on the hike do so by their own choice. Whilethe hike is safe and we’ll be going slowly and stopping to rest along the way giving people time to “smell theroses,” those going on the hike do so at their own risk. The spiritual sites we’ll be going to include: TheChalice Well, The White and Red Springs, The Entrance to Fairy Land, The Tor, Gog and Magog. We’ll alsobe hiking through meadows and have an enjoyable time meditating and giving each other Reiki along theway. Make sure you book extra time at Abbey House or at another B&B so you can go on the hike.

StonehengeWe’ll be going to Stonehenge on Saturday afternoon. Bus transportation will be provided. Your fee to enterStonehenge as a tourist before the attunement and the special access fee to enter for the attunement is paidfor you as part of your class fee. You’ll receive one attunement on Friday in class at the Abbey House andone attunement at Stonehenge on Saturday inside the stone circle. During the time of the attunement atStonehenge, we’ll have the stones all to ourselves.

Stonehenge GuidelinesPlease note that the following rules apply inside the stones: You will not be allowed to eat, drink, smoke or climbon the stones, nor is penetration of the ground by any objects allowed. Nothing can be “leant” or be supported bythe stones. You can touch the stones and also hold your crystals or other sacred objects next to them to chargethem. Some stones are lying flat on the ground and care must be taken not to step on these stones or lay anythingon them. You will not be allowed to lay crystals or sacred objects on the stones. No music is allowed. We mustobey any instructions given by the English Heritage staff. We will have about 1 hour in the stones.

Things to bring to StonehengeRaincoat • Camera • Crystals, stones and sacred objects • Towel or cushion to sit on during theattunement. Some students have found that a small fold up chair makes the attunement experience morecomfortable. However, it must be a chair with legs that would not project an indentation into the grass.Chairs with straight legs will work if you also bring a piece of carpet or other pads to place under the legs.

BackgroundIt is a good idea for you to get a good book on Stonehenge and read about its history. Stonehenge was builtover a period of about 1500 years in a number of stages, the oldest of which was about 5000 years ago. Itstarted with circular earthwork. Then over time, additional features were added with each stage becomingmore impressive. The large sarsen stones, the main feature of Stonehenge were part of the final phase andwere put in place about 2400BC. Recent archeological research leads some to believe that Stonehenge was aplace of healing. An ancient village has been found buried underground near the stones close to Woodhengethat archeologists think was where those who built Stonehenge lived during construction. The design,construction and refinements of Stonehenge cannot be found anywhere else among the prehistoric stonecircles of Europe. The size of the stones, some weighing up to 45 tons and the distance they were moved, somefrom over 250km, make Stonehenge one of the most astonishing of all achievements of the prehistoric peopleof Europe. Stonehenge was used by prehistoric people for a period of 2000 years.

Sensitives who have tuned into the people who used Stonehenge find that it was a joyous place, used tocelebrate rights of passage such as weddings and child birth as well as death. Harvests were celebrated thereand it was a place where people went to pray to be healed and to receive initiation into the priesthood. Acarving of the mother-goddess is on the outside southern face of the 2nd trilithon from the east end of thehorseshoe. Therefore, our use to initiate you as a Reiki master aligns with the purpose Stonehenge was createdfor. May the energy, wisdom and love of the ancient ones who created Stonehenge empower your initiation asa healer and your mission to help others.

Stonehenge and HealingAccording to the latest research, Stonehenge was a place people came to be healed. The blue stones were takenfrom a place noted in ancient times for their healing properties. The bones buried at Stonehenge show traumaindicating people were ill or had suffered injury. Because of this, Professor Timothy Darvill states about Stonehenge:“This was a place of pilgrimage for people...coming to get healed.” “The whole purpose of Stonehenge is that itwas a prehistoric Lourdes,” says Professor Geoff Wainwright. “People came here to be made well.”
