The Love Festival Experience
-
The Love Festival is a five-day celebration of men, love, and conscious connection — a gathering that weaves together tantra, spirituality, sensuality, and play. Set within the sacred landscape of Avalon, just outside Glastonbury, the festival offers a space to deepen intimacy, expand awareness, and experience the joy of community.
Throughout the week, UK and international teachers will guide you through a rich programme of tantric workshops, sacred rituals, and embodied practices. From the Main Hall to the Love Temple, and the intimate Little Earth spaces, you’ll find opportunities to explore massage, meditation, breathwork, energy play, nature rituals, and sacred sexuality.
Our days begin with meditation and yoga to awaken the body and spirit, followed by morning sessions that open new pathways for self-discovery and connection. After time to rest and share in circles, the afternoons dive deeper into tantric practices such as massage, visualization, conscious intimacy, and devotional ritual. Evenings offer an opportunity to take part in further practices or simply unwind.
Beyond the workshops, the Earth Spirit Centre offers a sanctuary for relaxation and renewal: a spa and sauna, woodlands with a sacred tree circle, gardens, and spaces to simply be. The Love Lounge and 24-hour tea and snack station provide space to meet, connect, and make new friends.
Arrival: Saturday 29 August, from 15:00 (programme begins 17:00)
Departure: Wednesday 2 September, by 15:00The Love Festival is more than a workshop series. It is a temple of love — a chance to experience yourself, others, and the world with openness, joy, and reverence.

Just five miles from mystical Glastonbury, nestled on the edge of Compton Dundon village in Somerset, lies the Earth Spirit Centre - a sanctuary within the ancient temenos (sacred enclosure) of Avalon. This land has long been revered as a place of deep healing and transformation, where myth, spirit, and nature weave together.
The centre rests in a breathtaking landscape between two nature reserves, just a short walk from St Andrew’s Church, whose grounds hold a living elder — a yew tree more than 1,800 years old, silently witnessing the turning of centuries. Here, time slows, and the veil between the seen and unseen feels thin.
The heart of the Earth Spirit Centre is its beautifully restored 17th-century farmstead, set within seven acres of lush gardens and open fields. At its centre is a 52-foot oak-timbered barn — a hall of stone and reed torching, evoking the atmosphere of a medieval sanctuary. While the spirit of the past infuses every beam and stone, the space also embraces modern comfort with under-floor heating, a great woodstove, and skylights that fill the hall with golden light.
The Earth Spirit Centre is more than a venue. It is a sacred space — a gateway into Avalon — where community, ritual, and renewal are held by the land itself.
