Two Lands. Two Pilgrimages. One Magickal Spring.
A pilgrimage to Ireland & Avalon ~ April 2027
Journey with us to the Sacred Lands of Ireland and Avalon Â
Â
 In April 2027, we’re leading two magickal pilgrimages to places where myth, land, and the unseen world have met for centuries.
In Ireland, we’ll work with the stories of the old gods and goddesses through ritual, Kundalini, and pilgrimage to powerful sites. In Avalon, we’ll enter the mysteries of Glastonbury through story, magick, and journeys on both the inner and outer planes.
These pilgrimages are a chance to step outside of ordinary life, experience the power of place, and deepen your connection to your own spiritual path.
Join us for Ireland, Avalon, or both.
Â
Ireland: Sacred Land, Sacred Magick
A pilgrimage through the stories, land, and living magick of Ireland
a land where the old stories are alive
Â
Ireland has long been a land of myth, magick, and mystery. Its stories are filled with fairies, ancient gods and goddesses, sacred wells, powerful trees, and thin places between worlds.
For three days, we’ll step into this landscape together. We’ll visit places where the veil is said to grow thin, where old stories have lived for centuries, and where the land itself holds an undeniable magick.
Through ritual, pilgrimage, meditation, and magick, we’ll connect with the ancestors, the deities, and the living world around us. We’ll work with the stories of Brigid, the MorrĂgan, Danu, and the Dagda as mirrors for our own healing, power, and sovereignty.
This is a pilgrimage into a land of old stories. But it is also a pilgrimage into yourself.
Â
three days of pilgrimage, ritual & magick
From morning until night, we’ll explore the magick of Ireland together through ritual, practice, and pilgrimage.
- Our home base will be the Grand Canal Hotel in Dublin.
- We’ll gather each day for magick, ritual, kundalini, and teachings.
- We’ll work with the gods and goddesses of Ireland through guided rituals and journeys.
- We’ll travel to Kildare to visit sites connected to Brigid and experience the land for ourselves.
- There will also be an optional pilgrimage to Newgrange for those who want to explore even more.
- We’ll connect with the ancestors, the deities, the trees, and the living land.
- Through it all, we’ll explore sovereignty, healing, and what it means to stand fully in your own power.
Come ready for three full active days. We’ll be together from morning until night, with time for meals, rest, and taking in the magick of Ireland.
Â
YOUR JOURNEY IN IRELAND
your pilgrimage includesÂ
- Â three full days of teaching, ritual, and practice
- Â daily kundalini yoga and meditation
- Â magickal rituals and guided journeys
-  guided spiritual pilgrimages to Kildare and Newgrange
not included: airfare, hotel room, meals, transportation to/from Dublin
DAY ONE ~ INTO THE CAULDRON
The MorrĂgan is a Celtic goddess associated with battle, death, prophecy, and sovereignty. Her stories invite us to face what has been hidden, meet our shadows, and reclaim the parts of ourselves we have left behind.
We’ll begin our journey with a full day of ancestor work, shadow work, ritual, magick, and Kundalini practice. Together, we’ll explore what has been passed down to us, what we are ready to release, and what belongs to us now.
This is a day to strengthen your boundaries, trust yourself more deeply, and step back into your own sovereignty.
DAY TWO ~ THE SACRED FORGE
Our second day is a pilgrimage for healing. Brigid is one of Ireland’s great goddesses, associated with healing, creativity, the arts, fire, and the sacred forge of transformation. She is also honored in the Christian tradition as St. Brigid, one of Ireland’s patron saints.
We’ll begin with yoga in Dublin before traveling to Kildare to visit St. Brigid’s Cathedral and healing well. Throughout the day, we’ll weave together her stories with teachings, ritual, prayer, and time on the land.
When we return to Dublin, we’ll close with an evening healing ritual to work with healing on the physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual levels.
DAY THREE ~ REBIRTH AND EMERGENCE
Danu is the great mother goddess, associated with the land, fertility, abundance, and the life force that moves through the natural world. She brings us into the mysteries of birth, creation, and new beginnings.
Our final day is about emergence. Through Kundalini, ritual, and connection with the land, we’ll explore what is ready to be born through you. We’ll close our pilgrimage by grounding everything we’ve experienced and stepping forward with a new relationship to ourselves, our power, and the living Earth.
optional day four ~ pilgrimage to newgrange
Â
For those who want to continue the journey, we’ll be taking an optional day trip to Newgrange, one of Ireland’s most extraordinary ancient sites. Newgrange is a 5,000-year-old passage tomb and ceremonial monument in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, built centuries before Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. Each winter solstice, the rising sun enters through its roof-box and illuminates the inner chamber.
This is not an official retreat day. It’s an informal day to explore, learn, laugh, and spend more time together before we all go our separate ways. Come hang out with us, experience Newgrange, and enjoy one last day of community in Ireland.
This day is optional and not included in your retreat registration, but we highly recommend adding it to your trip if you can.
Â
 Avalon: Into the Heart of Magick
A pilgrimage to the sacred isle of Avalon
the mythic isle of Avalon
Â
Avalon is the legendary Isle of Apples, a mysterious otherworld that appears in the stories of King Arthur and draws on older Celtic traditions of enchanted islands and otherworldly realms.
For centuries, Glastonbury has been linked with Avalon. Today, people from many spiritual traditions come here as a place of pilgrimage, drawn to its ancient sites, sacred landscape, and reputation as a “thin place” where the distance between the seen and unseen worlds feels a little smaller.
These thin places have long drawn pilgrims because they can help us step outside of ordinary life, quiet the noise, and become more receptive to insight, intuition, and spiritual experience.
For three days, we’ll step into the legends, landscape, and living mysticism of Glastonbury and explore the magick of Avalon for ourselves.
Â
three days of pilgrimage, ritual & magick
From morning until night, we’ll explore the magick of Avalon through ritual, meditation, teachings, and pilgrimage through the sacred landscape of Glastonbury.
- We’ll journey to the mythic Isle of Apples and explore the stories and archetypes of Avalon.
- We’ll learn about the magick of place and how to work with the energy of the land.
- We’ll take a guided pilgrimage through the legendary sites of Glastonbury.
- We’ll work with the mysteries of the Grail, Excalibur, Morgan le Fay, and St. Michael through teachings, ritual, and guided journeys.
- We’ll visit Glastonbury Abbey and other places connected to the legends of Avalon.
- We’ll create magick together that you can carry home and continue working with after the pilgrimage.
- And on our final night, we’ll climb Glastonbury Tor beneath the Full Moon for a closing ritual at one of the most iconic mystical sites in the world.
Three full days of pilgrimage, magick, and inner journeying—culminating together beneath the Full Moon on the Tor.

That night, we’ll climb Glastonbury Tor for our final ritual together. Rain or shine, we’ll gather beneath the Full Moon to close our pilgrimage, honor the land, and carry the magick of Avalon home with us.

Meet Charlotte Pizzella
Yogini, Kundalini Teacher, Spiritual Guide
Introduced to yoga at age 15 as a path of healing, Charlotte’s early journey of self-discovery grew into a lifelong devotion to service. For the past decade, she has guided thousands of students worldwide through Kundalini Yoga and transformational practice.
Her work brings together Kundalini, astrology, magick, and earth-based spirituality. She teaches people how to trust themselves, work with their own energy, and create meaningful change in their lives—without losing their humanity, humor, or individuality along the way.

Her teaching helps students know and love themselves more deeply, stand in their own authority, and develop a deeper relationship with their intuition.
Charlotte lives in Central Florida with her husband and their two cats. She’s an avid reader, a devotee of the whimsical life, and a fantasy nerd. When she’s not teaching, you can usually find her outside connecting with the trees or enjoying the Florida sky.
"I want to say what a most amazing opportunity it was to go on the retreat to Joshua Tree with Andrea and Charlotte. Their kindness and care was apparent in every detail. I learned so much and had the opportunity to physically and mentally heal. My autoimmune symptoms have been gone since the retreat. I am so grateful for such a wonderful and beautiful experience. "
~Lynette W.
"Andrea and Charlotte’s Magick Bootcamp retreat in Joshua Tree was magical, in every sense of the word. There’s just something about being in the desert, surrounded by such an open, warm group of women, that made the entire experience feel a little outside of ordinary life. I learned so much, but what I loved most was that we weren’t just sitting and being told about the practices. We were actually doing them, experiencing them, working with them, and learning through our own hands and intuition. I left feeling inspired, grateful, a little more connected to my own magic, and very thankful for the people and experiences that found their way into that weekend. It’s an experience I’ll carry with me for a long time. "
