A place to be welcomed, held and nurtured within the arms
of the Goddess.
A peaceful, healing and supportive environment where you can reach
into the inner realities of Avalon and feel the love of the Mother surrounding
you.
Here you can meet and connect with dedicated Priestesses
of Avalon and other like-minded people.
The Priestess House has
been described as a "unique, mystical and exciting adventure, reintroducing
an ancient idea within a modern day setting".
In your stay with us you may be surprised where the
energies of Avalon will lead you. Many say that by just being here they
feel inspired, creative and more themselves than they have in years.
The true beauty of Avalon is in feeling as if you have come home - into
the womb of the Goddess.

breakfast consists of an extensive choice of fruit, cereals, breads,
yogurts, fruit salad, crème fraise, juices, teas and coffee.
Meals
Meals, apart from breakfast, in the Priestess House
are usually on a self-catered basis. During Goddess Retreats all meals
will be included and these divine and delightful meals are created with
a great deal of love and light by a very talented local lady who is well
known as a priestess of culinary arts and miracles where a banquet of
luscious food magically appears before your very eyes. You may never
want to go home!
Rooms
Each bedroom in the Priestess House is named after a Goddess in Brigit's
Isles. All rooms are warm and comfortable,

and coffee making facilities and those little touches that help you
feel
at home.
There is a lovely guest lounge room with sofas you can simply melt into
and languish your troubles away. It has an open fireplace, which in the
winter can warm you from the outside in and whose flames will dance and
speak to you of precious otherworldly messages.

elementals and devas. There is a rock pool water feature and garden seats
