Cornwall Myth and Magic Pilgrimage

17 - 23 May | 16 - 22 Aug
This is a somatic journey into myth.
Through story, music, and embodiment:
We immerse in the folklore of Cornwall.
We let our bodies be inspired by the land.
We let sound transport us through time.
We remember the magic within us.
Stories and music are medicines of the soul.
Doorways home to ourselves.
To journey with the myths and folklore of Cornwall is to journey with the mythology of yourself. Cornwall offers wildness, connection, and soul medicine. Magic is everywhere here, and it ensures that you return to the home of your own magic.

There are stories all over the world, waiting to be spoken and received.
Myth is ancient medicine — shared through voice, sound, and ceremony, awakening something in the body that knows truth.
​In myth, we feel seen.
Held by mystery, we remember who we are.
This is embodied gnosis.​
This remembering is what excites me most, and it is with deep joy that I invite you into this Cornwall pilgrimage — to remember your magic through the land.
Each sacred site, each walk, each breath offers yet another opportunity for our remembrance, our recognition of ourselves.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, to listen deeply to the land and her stories, and to let the magic of Cornwall awaken what has always been within you — ready to be remembered, embodied, and lived.

Rebecca Burgess
Mother Priestess of the Temple of Cornwall
Sacred Celebrant · Oracle · Writer
Rebecca is the founder and Mother Priestess of the Temple of Cornwall — a dedicated space to sink into the myths, mysteries, and magic of this land. She is a renowned oracle priestess who embodies the Spirit of Cornwall, sharing its messages and medicine with the wider world.
Rebecca has been deeply connected with the Spirit of Cornwall across many lifetimes and has devoted this one to remembering and restoring the ancient Celtic Cornish ways of spirituality.
Guided by the land through profound beauty, growth, and healing, she now offers this devotion back to the collective — sharing Cornwall’s magic in service to the land and the spirits who preside over it.
Holly Anne Coles
Ambient Folk Singer · Sound Artist ·
Sound Journey Facilitator
Holly first visited Cornwall at the age of sixteen and was immediately drawn to the beauty of its coastlines and the crystalline waters of the south coast. She returned again and again throughout her teenage years and early twenties, called back to receive the magic of its lands and waters.
​
In her mid-twenties, she moved to Cornwall and was profoundly transformed while living on the wild north coast of Kernow. She became enchanted by the seas, the rugged cliffs, and the all-encompassing spirit of place that stretches across moorland and wind-swept ocean.
​​​
Cornwall reconnected her with her wild feminine spirit and awakened her creative voice, enchanting her every step of the way.
Stephanie Chaunte Leong
Somatic Guide · Psychic · Astrologer
Stephanie creates safe, sacred spaces where people meet the deeper parts of themselves — where walls can soften, and vulnerability becomes a homecoming rather than a foreign void.
​
Her deepest devotion has been learning to live fiercely from the heart, each step guided by Spirit, choosing paths, places, and experiences that feel like a full-bodied yes.
​
What she loves most about bringing people together is witnessing strangers become soul family through the intimacy of a shared, embodied journey.
It is from this place, anchored in kindness, love, and presence, that she serves.
I am so excited for Holly and Rebecca to guide us on this pilgrimage through Cornwall and her ancient sacred sites. Rebecca is a masterful, embodied storyteller and keeper of local lore, weaving myth and meaning in a way that brings the land alive within us. Holly’s music carries us through space and time, allowing these stories to be felt, lived, and remembered in our psyche.
As we walk the land and come into ceremony at each sacred site, it feels like receiving acupuncture from the earth itself. Through this, we are invited to meet, know, and love ourselves more deeply. This remembering, to me, is the greatest form of healing.

Accommodation + Meals
A pilgrimage in Cornwall is a living, breathing threshold where myth, memory, and the body meet. This land holds ancient stories — stories that awaken something visceral in your body when you walk them, something beyond words. To journey through Cornwall is to enter a conversation with the land itself, to listen with your feet, your breath, your heart.
