Glastonbury hosts a large number of courses, groups and conferences. Some of these are regular and announced online (click here) and in The Oracle (available at shops or e-mail ). Some are more spontaneous and announced on noticeboards around the town.
Many of the courses available in Glastonbury concern spiritual, magical and inner growth issues, but there are also courses in crafts, eco-issues and a wide variety of subjects, together with Christian and other retreats. These are run both by local and visiting teachers and facilitators.
