PROGRAMME

Goddess in Cornwall has been a very successful event over the years. There is always a cornucopia of activities, workshops, therapies and ceremonies from which to choose, all included in the total price. Boswedden House is a wonderful self-contained house with extensive gardens, where most of the events take place, and nearby are the moors and coast of beautiful West Cornwall. The food at Boswedden is all vegetarian and delicious. In previous years the House has filled up quickly, so book now to ensure your place for 2010.
