It has always been my dream to meet Dream. In almost all of my PM’s to Dream I always wrote “I wish I could one day meet you and I really do hope it will be in this lifetime” It was a sincere but wistful dream. I never ever thought it would come true. The day I found out the Retreat was happening I knew without a doubt that my dream was about to become a reality and that I would most definitely be travelling to Glastonbury.
Imagine taking everything written in the above image and multiplying it by a million. That is what we received and much, much more!!! Even today, a month and a half after the retreat, we are all still receiving and downloading knowledge. The retreat transformed me in unimaginable ways. My life has significantly changed. I learnt to let go and embrace whatever came my way. When I arrived in the UK two weeks prior to the retreat I could already feel the field working on me. On my flight back to Botswana as I looked out the window when we were approaching and coming in to land I knew that the person getting off the plane was not the same person who had left a month ago. A new and upgraded Jenny would be stepping off the plane.
Every thing about the retreat felt perfect. The timing, the town, the venue, the two amazing hosts, the friends, the shared knowledge, the delicious food, the awesome weather.
The Retreat itself was just awesome!! A once in a lifetime event. Everyone who attended was meant to be there. It was as if before coming to Earth we had all agreed that on this date we would all meet in Glastonbury. On the first day, each time I met a fellow attendee it felt as if I was meeting an old family friend. Throughout the Retreat, every single day there was always tons of smiles and oodles and oodles of laughter. Every day was a joyous occasion. We all seemed to love to gather in the Kitchen and in the courtyard during breaks or meal times. Every day felt like a family gathering. As if we were all over at our cousin or grandmother or our family home. A place where those who had gathered had known each other since they were little. A place where we were all loved and all felt welcomed.
Sammy did an excellent job sharing a ton of knowledge with us. He is a great speaker and has a way of teaching that allows us to absorb and understand. If you have been fortunate to attend one of Sammy’s webinars you will know what I am talking about. However being in the same room and hearing Sammy talk live is even more special. Dream also contributed to Sammy’s sessions the same way he shares information with us in the webinars. It was during the breaks when we all gathered to share a meal or in the evenings that Dream patiently and lovingly shared his wisdom with us by answered everyone’s questions about life, various fields, NFT’s, you name it, every topic was brought up and discussed. When I left Botswana I too had a ton of questions that I was intending to ask Dream but when I found myself next to him I forgot all my questions. I instead just wanted to soak up his energy and presence. He is such an awesome man. A very wise man with a wonderful sense of humour. Sammy and Dream went out of their way to spend time with each of us.
There were two black little kittens at the centre that everyone fell in love with. I think all animals are intuitive and to see these kittens freely playing amongst us told me how awesome the vibe was and that they felt safe and loved. Each day the kittens found their way into the meditation room. First one would pop his head around the door and take a couple of steps inside and the next thing his brother would pounce on him from behind as if to say “gotcha” then they would playfully tumble a bit more then pause and then decide that it would be more fun to go explore and play behind where Sammy was standing or where Dream was sitting. They always made everyone smile and made us all want to stroke and love them.
While in Glastonbury time just felt different for me. There were times where it felt as if it had stopped or reversed. Other times it felt as if time had slowed down. There was never any rush. There was always enough time for everything. I remember on the 3rd day Sammy saying “over the last two days we…” and I thought to myself “has it really been only two days, it felt much longer to me”. He then went on to say “and tomorrow on our last day we will…” at no time when I heard him say those words did I think “oh dear, how sad, it’s almost over” to me tomorrow felt like a long time away. There was never any sadness. Even when the retreat was over. At the end of the evening as I said goodbye to everyone it felt as if I was hugging a family member goodbye knowing that I will see them soon at the next family get together in a month’s time.
I fell in love with Glastonbury. It is a town like no other I have ever been in. I found myself wondering if we all unknowingly drive through some type of portal as we enter Glastonbury. It is an amazing quaint little town that is filled with tons of love. It’s in the air. You sense and feel it every time you interact with other people. Everyone that you meet or pass on the street has a smile on their face or has a kind word to say. I sat in a diner one day and the owner of the diner warmly greeted each person as they entered. Most seemed to be regulars a he knew most of them by name. It wasn’t just that he said a friendly “Hi John” it was that he genuinely went out of his way to make them feel welcomed. As if he was welcoming family into his home. As I left I walked up to the counter to pay my bill and thanked him. I told him he had an awesome diner and that I liked how he greeted everyone that walked through the doors. And one of the young waitresses behind him said “it’s just our way of spreading some love” something they did every day. I popped into a lovely little crystal shop that was off the beaten track. This shop had unique and very beautiful crystals. Some of them were massive, the size that you would find in the lobby of a retreat centre or a luxury spa. The owner was awesome. I stood and chatted with her for about half an hour. It felt as if I was chatting to a friend that I had known for a long time. We chatted about crystals and enlightenment and how each crystal speaks to us. Every shop owner or staff member in Glastonbury made me feel welcome. Glastonbury is filled with spiritually like minded people. You will hear it in the conversations around you. People passing you by on the street conversing with each other, other times you might overhear a conversation at the table next to you discussing goddesses, temples, angels, etc. I met an elderly gentleman halfway down the Tor. I had seen him up at the top of the Tor but we only started chatting halfway down when he helped me figure out how to open the gate. We then proceeded to chat all the way into town. He bought me breakfast and we sat outside another lovely little diner. We chatted about all sorts of things. We discussed our experiences with angels. How on several occasions he had seen dead people. We even discussed reincarnation. After breakfast he walked me to the gates of the Abbey. Guess what my awesome friend’s name was? His name was Michael. It was only later in the evening when I got home that everything sunk in.
Prior to the retreat when I told people that I was going to Glastonbury they all asked why. When I replied that I was going to a retreat they always responded “oh, okay” followed by a weird look. I stayed at an Airbnb that was about a 3 minute walk to the high street or a 7 minute walk to the retreat centre. Every morning at breakfast or in the evening when I got back to my room I met a lot of different and interesting people who were all on the same or similar path that I was on. They were also in Glastonbury to either attend a retreat, visit a particular temple, or came to take part in some event, etc. When asked what I was doing in Glastonbury and me always replying “oh I’m here to attend a retreat” most answered “oh that’s fantastic” or “oh how wonderful” “where are you doing your retreat?..oh at Sambogaya…oh that it such a lovely centre, they always have amazing retreats”. Every person I met at that Airbnb was warm, loving and kind. It was so nice to meet all these like minded people who didn’t look at me strangely when I told them I was going to a retreat. It was so awesome to chat to complete strangers about all sorts of things and feel understood and have a back and forth conversation.
Glastonbury also has some interesting people. Every day walking down the High Street I saw a guy dressed as Jesus. I saw Merlin walk down the street. He even paused and waved hi to me. Down the road from where I was sitting outside a diner I saw a knight sit down and put his helmet next to him on the bench. On the last day of the retreat as I was making my way up the Tor I paused to catch my breath and glanced to my right and coming down the Tor off the beaten track was this guy
And just for a split second I had to think and ask myself what era am I in because as I looked at the monk coming down the hill it felt almost as if it was an every day occurrence except he was from the past and I was from the present but we were actually on the same timeline.
Then I took several more steps and the next time I glanced up I noticed I had made it to the top and the beautiful Tower of Michal was before me.
Below is a shot taken from inside the tower looking down at Glastonbury.
There were also some beautiful murals on various shops around Glastonbury like this one
Thank you Dream and Sammy for providing us with the tools needed to empower ourselves from within. You are both amazing teachers. Thank you for guiding us back to our own power. It was an honour and a privilege to have met you both. A massive thank you to all my fellow pilgrims. Thank you for making the effort to attend the retreat and sharing the amazing experience with me. It was awesome to have met each of you in person. Out meeting wasn’t random, it was meant to be. I look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
