"In these changing times, I've recently felt that there must be a better way forward that leads away from a disjointed & separated society where everything is about the individual and not the community. My visit to Glastonbury has shown me that it is already on the way towards that aim!
Stephanie Nash - Florida, USA
Avalon Anthem

​The Avalon Anthem 
Feel the heartbeat, love and sanctuary of Avalon through our beautiful song. Our aim is to offer a beacon of light and a gift of peace in these trying times. Experience our unity through diversity in the voices of our community.
​

Glastonbury Tor

​Since time immemorial, people have journeyed to Glastonbury in order to immerse themselves in a deep cauldron of legend, romance, myth and history. A centre of pilgrimage for millennia, this small Somerset market town has a powerful attraction drawing people from different walks and paths of life, from all over the world. 

Crystals decorate the walls of the Glastonbury Experience
The potpourri of independent shops, artisan cafés, and organisations on a bustling High Street abounds with diversity and experiences. With more than seventy practising faiths and beliefs, Glastonbury of the 21st century has emerged as a place that honours diversity and this is reflected in the wide and varied activities and colourful personalities that can be found in this vibrant, captivating place. 

If this is your first time here, we offer you a warm welcome. Take some time to enjoy our website - there's a lot to explore here! We hope our Pilgrim Reception Team can assist you in person, to find out more about our sacred town, how you might experience it in a way that suits you best, and explore all that Glastonbury has to offer.

Unity through Diversity in Glastonbury

Our organisation has an ethos of Unity through Diversity but this is not to suggest we feel all faiths and paths are the same, or that they should be.
It is an expression which has been in use for thousands of years and in essence, can be seen to imply the working together of all aspects of a community without losing the special personality and beliefs of the individual projects and people involved. We acknowledge that diverse beliefs and practices can present complex and difficult challenges creating chasms that often-times are difficult to bridge. However, rather than focus on the discordant differences, our goals are to create ‘living spaces’ where acceptance, understanding and co-existence can be found, demonstrating how together, we can live well, whilst remaining different.

"Building bridges between diverse beliefs is essential if we want to live in a community that has great social cohesion. It doesn’t have to mean we have to all become one homogenised blob of humanity, but it CAN mean that we respect each other, even if we don’t agree. We can also take our acceptance one step further, by proactively encouraging and supporting people of good heart and intention on their own path through life. We know only too well that there is widespread agreement that bridge building can be successful in reducing prejudice and hostility between different groups and in helping people to live peacefully alongside each other." Morgana West
