Avalon Retreat
KENYA - May 29 - June 5, 2025
Being held in love to move forward in purpose
7 days of meeting in love to grow through connection and to explore what we can create together. In the legend of King Arthur, Avalon was a place where wounded warriors came to heal and regain strength before returning to battle. Today's Avalon community is for individuals and groups to reclaim embodied self-empowerment — to learn the truth of our own creative power and human beauty so clearly that we know it in our bodies. From here, we can become true leaders, contributing our unique gifts for positive impact in the world.
The Avalon retreat is a unique container of safety, trust, and care where participants are able to meet one another in a way that allows for healing and growth. It is a set of practices and methodologies that pulls from psychotherapy, most significantly psychodrama, transpersonal, and integral psychology. This work is delivered through group processes in a retreat setting. Community and connection are essential to this work. The love, care, and connection that one receives from a community has always been an essential healing salve for humanity and this timeless formula is core to what makes Avalon work.
On a hill in Kenya's Great Rift Valley, at the convergence of two rivers on an ancient lakeshore, our common ancestors first began to gather in cooperative communities. The power of this land still resonates with our deep longing for connection and union. We invite leaders to come together for one week of deep connection and co-creation. This gathering is specifically designed for those who have demonstrated success in many areas of their lives but who know that deep inside of themselves, there are still some persistent things that hold them back and from which they want to break free from; those who care so deeply about their purpose that they would give whatever it takes to heal and rise to a higher level of potential. Like those who stood on this land many years ago and gave up their solo journey for one in union with others, they know that only love, in connection with others, has the power to heal..
Avalon is a place to find oneself through others. Many who have experienced it share common feedback, they feel they have come home. That what they experience in the relationships and transformation in their lives feels like a homecoming, how things are meant to be.

The Venue
ISHQ Retreat Center
Enkuso Entelon
Malewa Estate, Naivasha
Ishq is a retreat center in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. Archeological excavations adjacent to the site suggest it was at this spot, at the end of the last ice age, that humans first began to gather in community. We believe that the land holds a power and invites retreat participants to deeply explore love and connection. It is the home of Heath and Xena and has become an anchor for the Avalon community.
