the Heart Chakra of the World.

I went to the Heart Chakra of the world to volunteer at a retreat centre. I was given a goblin home made of wood, with grass growing on the roof, huge diamond shapes for windows, a wood burning stove, an arched solid wood door, with a bed on a wire pully that lifts up during the day so you can walk beneath it. When I woke up to the first day of thick crunchy snow - I was in Narnia, though instead of Lions and wardrobes, I had a large stone Hamuman (the Monkey God) sitting in the garden, a huge lump of rose quartz crystal, and a couple of other wooden cabins full of other goblin guests. The house was probably empty. Everyone wanting to connect with nature and their true essence by being outside. Every morning we meet in the meditation room and offer candles, flowers, insence, food and water to the deities, Krsna and Radhe. We chant holy names to invoke their presence and encourage divine love to enter and open our hearts and purify our minds, as we sit silently for half an hour before creating vegan green smoothies for breakfast. No dairy no meat no sugar and a few other things are not permitted. Its a clean, clear energetic space, for those brave enough to challenge their egoic, material minds and get a glimpse of their conditioned ways of behaviour. Where the mists of Avalon can cleanse these unconscious complexities. These environments attract everyone with an interest in the alternative. From the astrologers and walkers of the zodiac, which surrounds Glastonbury, to the Pagan Solstice rituals, the shamanic healers, the Godesses and Green Men, the conscious seekers, and the reincarnations of past beings, like the woman who arrived saying she was a reincarnation of Eve. They are all accepted.

Everyday there is something more beautiful to attend for our greater good from Gong and crystal bath meditations (no water involved). We lie on the floor with a blanket to keep us warm, close our eyes and let the vibrations of the gong or crystal bowls enter and harmonise us emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Shakti yoga dance, yoga asanas to warm us that leads to dancing from the unconscious mind – letting the body feel the rhythm and move in flow not worrying what we look like. Get a spiritual reading and find out why you are here on earth, where is the place most empowering to you to develop your vital gifts to share. Even the Belly Dancing classes can transform a tired, cold ‘me’ to one with energy, vitality and laughter. The shops sell all alchemical curiosities and gifts the Hemp shop, the crystal shops, the book shops. It’s a sophisticated centre for furthering the evolution of humanity. Many flying in from all over the world to feel and see the sacred energies and spirits of one of the best place on earth... probably. Glastonbury.
