Sacred Sites for Today
Sacred sites are not just a thing of the past. Today, this community is creating sacred sites for the modern era – spaces where the forces of the divine are embodied and brought to earth. Already, with sacred circles being created around the world (such as the sacred circles at the Esoteric Retreat Centre in Scotland and the Mystic Light Retreat in Canada), places of divine connection and communication are being established. It is envisioned that these places will develop and be built to last, just as their ancient predecessors have.
Currently, these divine spaces are being created to carry out sacred ceremonies at the solstices and equinoxes – special spiritual times of the year which have celebrated by ancient mystics throughout the world who understood their importance, in hundreds of sites like Stonehenge and the Great Sphinx of Giza.
Free Retreats
Spirituality is given freely from the universe, and should be passed onto others in the same way. All retreats are free to attend or at cost if they are held at external venues (to cover expenses of catering, hire, transport, etc.).
Upcoming Retreats
Here is a listing of retreats which practice the sacred spirituality of the universe. If you would like to have your retreat listed here, please contact us with the details.

Looks amazing Olga!
Thank you Scotland for the wonderful initiative! All the best!
Thanks very much for your comments, we are thrilled about what is yet to unfold
The benefits of what a retreat can bring is indescribable. They are truly uplifting and can bring tangible results to daily life. To be part of and help organise is definitely going to be an amazing experience for all.
What a wonderful offer, hope to make it one day
The retreats just sound amazing and the location looks absolutely spectacular. Wish you lots of strength and success with these retreats and hope they continue to blossom as beautiful as the flowers on the site http://www.esoteric-retreat-centre.com.
It is amazing to be able to take part in the upcoming retreats in such an inspiring place. We hope that by keeping them free more people will have the opportunity to participate and feel the magic of being around like-minded people and practice what we love most.

Nice and bright and colourful:-) I look forward to soaking up all this natural beauty soon.
This is really amazing to see.
Sending you lots of love and strength from us here.
I just came back from the first official retreat, the midnight sun.
Words won’t be able to describe the wonderful time I had there. So many different people from various parts of the world were there but all got along so well, it felt like a second home.
For sure this is a great place for spiritual nourishment and I would recommend anyone who is searching for more in life then just the ordinary to visit this wonderful and warm place. You touched my heart!
Many thanks to all those who contributed to this and I hope I’m able to join many more retreat to come.
I’ll agree with Roy.
The days i lived there were unique. Each one had something different and the focus on the heart directions, leed me closer to the divine and to a clearest image of myself. The place,the people and the plan of the retreat combined a special experience. Definitely, a chance for everyone who is doing this Work, to take a push and touch more sensitive cords of life.
I’m with you guys also with all my heart.
This retreat was unbelievable, so powerful. Gave me strength and inspiration that can’t be described. The place, the practices, the people were magical, made me come so close to this spiritual part of me. A experience that everyone who is searching for something different in his life has to live. Looking forward to join again as soon as possible.
This is amazing. I really hope to attend one day! Such a great idea.
Great idea and a great time was had by those who could attend…
This is so inspiring! What a great way to get these teachings out there for people. It is so wonderful that these retreats are free and available for those who truly want to investigate what this life all about. I heard good things from a couple of my friends who went there recently. I hope that we can attend a retreat sometime. Thank you for what you are doing. It makes a difference.
Regards,
Michelle
“Already, with sacred circles being created around the world (such as the sacred circle at the Esoteric Retreat Centre in Scotland), places of divine connection and communication are being established. It is envisioned that these places will develop and be built to last for centuries if not millennia, just as their ancient predecessors have.”
Wow. Something about that really hit home for me. To see the connection between the past sacred sites, and what has been created now at the different retreats…mind blowing. We are so fortunate. Thanks to all those holding these retreats, it is definitely a strong and inspiring source of light in the world.
Indeed Vida, the same feeling came over me.
It is a magical moment and a cosmic event to create such places for humanity. How fortunate it is for everyone that it is taking place now.
We are so looking forward to helping create and take part in these events and to help create this connection outside of us and inside of us.
Thank you to all those involved – may Light continue to shine even more so brightly all around the world.
What a lovely Mystic Light Retreat Centre in Canada! So inspiring to see retreats launching in other places of the world. It is surely the new era of retreats, sacred ceremonies and bonding as a greater brotherhood of light.
