Workshops

Glastonbury, Somerset Introduction to Women’s Ritual Dances
From Saturday, 28. March 2026
To Sunday, 29. March 2026
Traditional Women’s Circle Dances from Greece, the Balkans and Armenia
offered through Glastonbury Goddess Temple Teachings
 
The roots of these dances go back thousands of years to indigenous Goddess civilisations of Neolithic Old Europe, embodying a pre-patriarchal worldview of reverence for Mother Earth. The dances serve to strengthen community, heal trauma, prevent conflict, encourage communal celebration, and create a culture of peace.
Women of rural Eastern Europe have preserved these ritual dances into the present day, continuing a living lineage of ancient priestess traditions. Through careful attention to the symbols encoded within the dances, we can decipher their hidden wisdom and receive the many gifts they offer to women today, whatever our own beliefs or background.
