THE MUSE: A Ceremonial Retreat for Artists & Mystics & Dreamers
Cornwall UK
May 5-9
Exploring the Mythos of Creativity through the Magick of Plant Medicine and the Sacred Land of Cornwall
THE MUSE is more than a retreat—it is an invocation, a sacred communion between artist and mystery. Held in the ancient lands of Trenarren, where Arthurian winds still whisper and stone circles hum with ancestral memory, inspiration is not something we chase here—it is something we remember.
Beneath your feet, the mycelial web mirrors the creative current alive within you—pulsing, intelligent, and ready to awaken. Through the sacred lens of plant allies, sound, and story, we journey beyond the ordinary, dissolving creative blocks, shedding inherited narratives, and reigniting the untamed spark of your artistry.
What makes this ceremonial experience truly rare is the music: we are multi-instrumentalists, channels, and sonic weavers. Each ceremony is infused with live, channeled soundscapes—no recordings, no playlists—just raw, real-time transmission. The music is alive with spirit. It responds to the moment, to you, to the unseen. It becomes the bridge between realms, a language of remembrance that guides you deeper into your own mythos.
This is not performance. This is presence. Every note is an offering, every chant a thread that binds your story to something greater.
Whether you are a musician, writer, painter, philosopher, or visionary—art flows in infinite forms, and this retreat honors the full spectrum. Your creative expression doesn’t just have space here—it becomes the altar.
THE MUSE is a ceremonial passage into deep artistic flow. Through guided mushroom journeys, sound rituals, storytelling, and the mythic landscapes of Cornwall, we invoke the living muse within. This is where the genius reawakens. This is where the soul sings.
Trenarren awaits.
The Muse is calling.
Will you answer?
Welcome to Your Magickal Old English Fantasy Home
Our sanctuary for this retreat is a rare gem on the Cornish coast—a stunning Grade II listed Georgian estate with sweeping sea views, two acres of private gardens and woodland, and a palpable sense of history and creative spirit.
Once home to renowned author and “Voice of Cornwall,” A.L. Rowse, this is the first time the house has ever been opened to host a retreat. Perched at the head of a secluded valley near Charlestown, the house looks out over wildflower meadows and the sea beyond, just a short walk from the hidden cove of Hallane Beach.
The Land Holds You Here
Set on over two acres of private gardens and woodland, this secluded Georgian estate rests at the head of a lush valley, with uninterrupted views stretching across the lawn to the sea. Just a 10-minute walk through a quiet hamlet brings you to Hallane Beach, a hidden cove of raw Cornish beauty.
The grounds are steeped in wild abundance: flowering perennials, ancient trees, a thriving orchard, and a wildflower meadow that bursts into life each spring. Rhododendrons, camelias, cherry blossoms, roses, bluebells, and primroses paint the landscape in waves of color, while a centuries-old yew tree stands watch at the garden’s edge like a timeless guardian.
Here, you’ll share space with deer, buzzards, jays, goldcrests, and countless songbirds. The natural stillness is profound—Trenarren is completely private, not overlooked by any other property, yet within easy reach of St Austell and the surrounding coastline.
Just two minutes from the house, the South West Coast Path invites you into Cornwall’s mythic cliffs and endless ocean views. A short walk leads you to the windswept point at Black Head, where on a clear day, you can see all the way from Dodman Point to St. Antony’s Head.
This land isn’t just beautiful—it’s deeply alive, holding a kind of magic that only reveals itself when you slow down enough to feel it.
Luxurious Property
Indulge in the comfort of opulent surroundings that cater to your well-being, creating a space for profound transformation. Enjoy the vast ocean views, the exquisite orchards and flowers. The elements come alive during the experience, the energy is so potent and ready to communicate with you and share the wisdom of this incredible land.
Sacred Sacrament Ceremonies
With the intention of expanding our consciousness and releasing our subconscious blocks that have held us back. Our sacred Sacrament ceremonies will be dedicated to connecting to our expansitve self and highest timeline. We will have 3 ceremonies throughout the retreat: Blue Lotus, Sacred Fungi and Green Goddess (420) . Activating the Spirit of these Earth Kingdom allies to release and re-ignite our connection to Source, Self and Other.
Touring and Excursions
We will venture beyond the well-trodden tourist paths and into the hidden sanctuaries of Cornwall—places where the land still hums with an ancient presence. Our excursions will take you to sacred sites veiled in mystery, from forgotten stone circles tucked away in the wild moors to caves whispered to be portals between worlds. We will walk the windswept cliffs where legend and landscape merge, tracing the footsteps of those who came before—Druids, mystics, and seekers drawn to this land’s untamed wisdom. These journeys are more than visits; they are initiations, invitations to commune with the land, to listen, and to receive the transmissions embedded in the stones, the sea, and the shifting light. Through guided reflections and ritual, we will weave our own myths into the fabric of Cornwall’s ancient story, allowing the land itself to reveal what is ready to be remembered.
Chakra Energy - Gourmet Nourishment
Experience food as medicine. Each meal is thoughtfully crafted to nourish your body and support your chakra energy system, giving you the energy and vitality you need to fully engage in your healing journey.
We cater to all dietary types whether you are vegan or meat eater, gluten free etc. All the food is local, organic and high vibes.
Integration and Celebration
Integration is one of the most important aspects of the ceremonial experience. It is the key to unlocking what was revealed and helping you continue on your journey with the wisdom embodied. We will be sharing our experiences with each other in a Green Goddess ceremony allowing us to connect deeper and witness each other in the unfolding of our experience.
