Glastonbury is a great place for spiritual retreats. Its rich history of mystical legends and its serene natural surroundings provide an ideal environment for introspection and spiritual growth. The town’s ancient sites, such as Glastonbury Tor and the Chalice Well, offer a unique, tranquil atmosphere that fosters deep connection and rejuvenation. These places were explored during the beautifully curated Glastonbury Retreat by Laii Sorcerer. Guided by life coach and healer Laii Durve, the group of six seekers who attended the Retreat gained wonderful insights about their self, their purpose in life and much more.

Here’s what each of them had to say about their individual experiences:

Learning, laughter and love

“The Glastonbury retreat with Laii was a spiritual journey filled with lots of learning, loving guidance, insights and beautiful experiences. Laii ensured that we were constantly in touch with ourselves and gathered our insights to help us with our intention for the retreat.

It was filled with lots of learning, laughter and love.

Thank you Laii for making the Glastonbury retreat a packed and wholesome spiritual development programme.

My key takeaways from the Retreat are:

+ Learning to respond rather than react
+ Observing as much as possible
+ Reducing my interference
+ Staying within oneself as much as possible
+ And importantly no शहाणपणा (shahanpana or shrewdness)”

Continued growth and exploration

“Attending the spiritual retreat at Glastonbury with Laii didi was truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, the ancient energy of the land enveloped me, sparking a sense of anticipation and reverence. Each day was filled with activities designed to deepen my connection with myself.

Exploring the town’s sacred sites, such as the Chalice Well, was like stepping back in time, immersing ourselves in centuries of spiritual tradition. The workshops and discussions led by Laii didi provided valuable insights for personal growth. Each experience offered a new perspective and a deeper understanding of myself.

As the retreat drew to a close, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to immerse myself in such a sacred space. The lessons learned and connections made will stay with me long after leaving Glastonbury, inspiring continued growth and exploration on my spiritual path.”

Unburdening the Self

I joined the Retreat at the last minute, but I was super excited.

One we started the Retreat with Laii, it was one of the best experiences as a lot of insights about ourselves that we were unaware of or didn’t want to expect or acknowledge surfaced. The goddess temple meditation was amazing to start with followed by Merlin’s Cave. The VortexHealing session was so amazing it felt like a-20kg unnecessary weight that I was carrying was lifted off. I had a lot of resistance towards letting go. But I tried and I could see a difference in my actions immediately.

Last but not the least Stonehenge was amazing and beautiful with receiving energy. Our final destination, the town of Bath, was really beautiful and we were able to do a little bit of shopping there, too.

Thank you so much Laii for everything you arranged so we could benefit from it in our personal growth. I would love to join the next Retreat with a different me and a new topic to work on.

To experience the different side of YOU, Laii’s Retreat and one-on-one session is a must-do.

Good luck and loads of love to you, Laii! Thank you!

Interpretations, judgments and interference

“This was my third retreat with Laii at Glastonbury. The first two, in 2019 and 2022, were great experiences and that motivated me to register for the third one.

My journey started a little before the Retreat as I was travelling solo to London, Scotland and Geneva, before reaching Glastonbury for the Retreat. Eleven people had registered and only six of us could reach London on 4th June. It’s amazing how people pay money, are ready to invest their time and energy, but they can’t reach there. It’s amazing how this works, how the land calls people.

I’m very grateful that the land of Glastonbury is supporting me in my inner journey and is ready to receive me. Our first session was in London. It was the opening session and we started observing ourselves from the first day onwards.

Observing our egos, our victimhood and also our ‘shahanpana’. Now, ‘shahanpana’ is a Marathi word, but I think that’s most appropriate way to describe it. So, we started observing, we started writing, we started internally watching ourselves.

And this observation continued for various different topics throughout the retreat. So, every day there was a different topic that was introduced by Lai and it was very much appropriate to me and to the group as well because it was related to interpretations, judgments and interference.

I could see Tor from my cozy pink room. I really loved being there.

As we went to different places each day, such as the Goddess House, Chalice Well and Stonehenge, we let go of log of things. The Retreat was full of ‘let go’ energies.”

Never stop self-work

The spiritual retreat to Glastonbury with Laii was peaceful and relaxing. During the retreat, I experienced peace within myself for the entire seven days that we were there. We had beautiful sessions, which were led by Laii. By visiting the holy places of Glastonbury, I felt a beautiful connection with the land. This Retreat has proved to be a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey, reassuring my faith and a good reminder to meditate, and to never stop self-work to maintain inner peace.”
