EASTER ISLAND & PATAGONIA RETREAT TRIP
13-30 March 2026
EASTER ISLAND & PATAGONIA RETREAT TRIP
13 - 30 MARCH 2026
(18 days/17 nights)
"Stardust & Statues: A Cosmic Dance.”
Imagine standing in one of the most isolated places in the world.
On the southeastern most point of what is called the Polynesian Triangle.
Hawaii and New Zealand forming the other two corners.
Imagine you are looking up at massive, iconic statues.
Called the Moai.
So where are you?
You are on Rapa Nui - Easter Island!
COSMIC SWITCHBOARDS
And imagine your feet - not unlike these massive statues, being firmly planted within the Earth.
Your consciousness reaching up high.
The Stars.
Because these ancient statues are not just dead stone.
They are silent sentinels.
Alive.
Cosmic switchboards, humming energy into the Cosmos.
To bridge Earth and Sky.
Helping us to access completely new human futures.
A COSMIC NETWORK OF WISDOM
The Moai statues, like so many other sacred sites, link with specific stars and constellations.
Like lovers separated across a vast cosmos, they dance in perfect synchronicity.
Creating the opportunity to plug into a cosmic network that has been ready - for millennia - to transmit wisdom to us.
Facilitating a Heart dialogue between Human, Earth and Stars.
AN EXTRAORDINARY DESTINATION
And so it is not surprising that many people have been fascinated with Easter Island and its Moai statues.
Sensing their mystery with intrigue and awe.
Easter Island is truly an extraordinary destination.
Full of Wisdom. Earth & Star Power.
QUESTION
So are you ready to receive?
To become an active part of it?
To step into a much greater future?
The time is now.
The cosmic network of the Moai is live!
PATAGONIA EXCURSION
(5 nights)
And on this Earth trip - that is timed to fall over Spring Equinox of 2026 and after the major conjunction occurring between Saturn and Neptune at the Creator’s degree of 0 Aries on 20 February 2026 - we have an opportunity to also visit another wild and very remote part of South America:
Patagonia, Chile!
One of the most undisturbed and pristine parts of our planet.
Filled with wondrous scenery and where the Earth utterly expresses herself.
With exquisite beauty.
So come and walk on this sacred part of the Earth with me!
Feel the joy of your Heart - and of being alive.

SOLSTICE EARTH TRIP
NEW MOON - SUMMER SOLSTICE - FULL MOON
15 - 30 JUNE 2026
(16 days/15 nights)
I have always been deeply fascinated by the Isle of Anglesey.
I know Iona, the holy island in Scotland well.
And it felt that Anglesey somehow holds a similar angelic energy.
But it was always waiting to be explored.
And I often wondered about its history- more recent and ancient.
How it became a safe haven for the Celtic Druids when they were persecuted by the Romans. (Reminding me of a similar story in Meteora, Greece where the Christians hid from the Muslim Otterman Empire and I had the wonderful privilege of visiting last year.)
And how, when the Romans finally caught up with the Druids in Anglesey, their beautiful, sacred Oak Groves were burnt.
What ancient magical mysteries could be awakened here?
With a landscape and scenery that is so incredibly magnificent!
So very unique to the British Isles.
The Ancient land of Avalon.
And now I am finally going there!
So excited. To re-member the magnificence of other times. To connect with the beauty of the land, with its history. Angels. The incredible sense of being present here on our planet, but at the same time somewhere else. A heavenly connection. Of somewhere beyond time and space.
With such unusual beauty.
A light that transforms.
THE JOURNEY
And so our adventure starts on the New Moon with the first 7 days spent on the Island of Anglesey. Visiting the many Celtic sacred sites, some Christian sites and also a part of North Wales that includes the Snowdonian mountains, nature reserves and some out of the world’s most outstanding scenery. On the magical day of Summer Solstice we watch the sun rise at Wales most sacred monument BRYN CELLI DDU that is, like Stonehenge, aligned to the rising Solstice Sun. What a privilege to be there.
Then we head southwards towards Cornwall where we are based in Tintagel (the ancient birthplace of King Arthur) with its rugged coast and own strong earth power. Exploring Tintagel Castle, Merlins Cave, St Nectans Glen, Rocky Valley, the incredible stone circles and holy wells of South Cornwall and so much more. Ending our magnificent earth journey on the day of the Full Moon.
New Moon, Summer Solstice, Full Moon. A complete circle!
And a true Celtic Adventure! A time of reclaiming what was once ours.
