PRIESTESS RETREAT - THE INITIATION (5th Edition): Alquimizing the Light and the Dark
𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is a six-day immersive journey into the mysteries of the Priestess archetype, a space of remembrance, initiation, embodied transformation, and return to the organic self.
Within the Hathor Heka School, the Priestess is not understood as an identity to perform, a role to imitate, or an ideal to achieve.
𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧.
She is the one who listens beneath appearances, who tends the inner temple, and who develops the capacity to remain in relationship with the complexity of life.
The Priestess stands at the threshold between worlds: spirit and body, light and shadow, feminine and masculine, instinct and consciousness, the personal and the transpersonal.
She does not seek to eliminate polarity or force harmony.
She learns to hold opposites within herself long enough for a deeper wisdom to emerge.
Through this inner alchemy, separation begins to soften and a more integrated, sovereign, and embodied way of being becomes possible.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.
Wholeness does not mean that every part of us feels peaceful, resolved, or harmonious. It means that all parts of our experience are allowed to belong. Nothing within us needs to be exiled in order for us to be worthy, sacred, or whole.
Through somatic exploration, ritual, movement, ceremonial practice, self-inquiry, connection with nature, and the transformative field of community, you will be invited to meet the parts of yourself that have been silenced, fragmented, conditioned, or left behind.
The body is where we begin.
It is the ground through which we learn to listen, sense, feel, and recognise what is alive in the present moment. By returning to the soma, we expand our field of awareness and develop the capacity to remain in relationship with our experience rather than abandoning, controlling, or overriding it.
Yet the body is not separate from the psyche, the energetic field, or the spiritual dimensions of our being.

We work with the somatic dimension, listening to the body’s sensations, impulses, movements, boundaries, rhythms, and instinctual intelligence.
We enter the psychological dimension, bringing awareness to internalised beliefs, protective strategies, inherited conditioning, emotional patterns, unconscious loyalties, and the inner structures that shape the way we perceive ourselves and the world.
We explore the archetypal and mythic dimension, recognising the ancient patterns, images, stories, and forces that move through both the personal psyche and the collective field.
We engage the energetic and shamanic dimension, widening our perception beyond the visible and opening to the subtle currents, symbols, ancestral influences, natural intelligences, and fields of relationship that surround and move through us.
We also enter the spiritual and transpersonal dimension, cultivating a relationship with mystery, sacredness, and the aspects of consciousness that reach beyond the individual personality.
These dimensions are not approached as separate systems.
They are woven together as expressions of one living ecology.
The Priestess learns to move between these dimensions with sensitivity, discernment, and embodied presence.
She listens not only to the words being spoken, but also to the body, the psyche, the energetic field, the symbols arising, the unseen movements, and the deeper intelligence attempting to emerge.
This is not a journey of escaping the human experience in search of the spiritual.
Nor is it a journey of reducing mystery to psychology or the body alone.

Testimonials from past retreats:
*Felicitas from New Zealand
It was such a powerful experience, the act of tuning into oneself with full permission and full acceptance, for so many days in a row. To be removed from the noise of the outside world, to take the time and space to allow oneself to unfold; held in a cocoon of sisterhood - open, loving, compassionate, was deeply moving.
Within the safety of this sisterhood I was finally able to hold the mirror up and look further than I have ever been able to; truly seeing myself for the first time.
Sia holds space with such profound intuition, listening and working alongside the energies of every moment. There is an ancient subtleness to her magick unlike anything I have ever witnessed, and it is such a blessing to have journeyed with that through realms of being and nothingness.
It is never easy to face the darkest of your own shadows, but fuck, the pain is worth it for the gift of pure, you-ness; tapping into and vibrating with raw life-force energy.
*Shannon from the Netherlands:
Wow, it’s hard to explain in words the experience of working with Sia. She is pure magic. The space she creates is a powerful portal of deep transformation.
She is so embodied in everything she teaches, it’s truly alive in every cell of her being. There is a deep power, presence, & integrity in her work. We went incredibly deep together & I’m so grateful for her transmissions. I don’t find many people who can hold space for me in a powerful way, but Sia does it with so much ease and love. I was really honored to work with her & I know we will work together again in the future.
*Lisa from Auckland:
I highly recommend this work as a foundation for the exploration of the self. For once you come to know yourself relationships with others become more expansive, intentional and meaningful.
Sia's facilitation and teaching of this work is high level, professional, completely embodied, of spirit, spiritually ethical and safe.
Sia has and is doing this work - her life´s work and is a clear reference point in her being and teachings. I can not recommend Sia enough for her professionalism here.
*Shana from California
Sia is a portal to the divine. Working with her has been a direct channel to universal energies, a deep dive into the subconscious, the collective conscious and ancient knowledge. Sia is an incredibly powerful priestess and channeler, she is a mystic guide to the unseen realms. She holds space with such power, love and devotion that it allows you to open fully to reach your greatest depths whilst feeling safe and held. Sia is definitely a midwife to the soul and she can help you birth elements of yourself that have been laying dormant and waiting for both you and this world to be ready. My heart is full of love and gratitude for both Sia and her powerful work.
