Connect with your Wise Woman, Heal your Ancestral Lineage

“This is the time when women must truly value themselves, their power, their voice, their beauty and sovereignty to become the shining lights that restores the balance in our world”.

(The ancient Ones – the ‘Great Council of Grandmothers’)

The Divine Feminine continues to rise in each of us.  Mother Earth calls us home.  She calls us to come into balance, to heal and let go of the old conditioning and belief patterns that have been passed down from generation to generation.

This Retreat Day is the first of the season that invites you to connect with your Ancestors to heal and transform the old energies, beliefs and patterns that have kept you stuck in the old paradigm, in the ways of the old patriarchal system.

We will dive deep into the wisdom of this potent time to give voice to what is ready to be witnessed and released.  We will harness the power of your inner temple and cave of alchemy, and reclaim the love of your wise, wild woman.


Ancestral Healing - Gateway to freedom and your Wise Woman

Our Elders are calling us to gather in sacred circle ready for some important and powerful healing that will align us with our power and soul.

At the end of October, we celebrate Samhain, the Celtic Festival that brings forth the ending of the Celtic year heralding the beginning of the new energetic year.   This is a powerful time of year as we begin our descent into the darker months of the year, a potent time for transformation.

This is a perfect time to honour our Ancestors as we experience the thinning of the veils between matter and spirit. It is time to heal and release old patterning brought down our mother and father lineage and come into wholeness and unity.

As we journey to reclaim our power, we liberate not only ourselves but our Ancestors also freeing our future generations to express their true divinity.

There is also much ‘gold’ to be received in terms of new gifts and wisdom to be returned as we embrace our sovereignty.

The darker months of the year are a potent time for us women as we prepare for an abundant spring. It is one that honours our natural rhythms and cycles and flow in life.


Retreat Programme Include:

Our journey will focus on Heart/Womb Healing being the vessel for our inner alchemy and Ancestral Healing with our mother and father lineage through the umbilical cord.  This will help fully activate our power ready for receiving the new energies of 2023 coming in at the Winter Solstice.

We will focus on the lower chakras, rooting down and bringing our power and energy up through our heart centre, clearing the way for self-empowerment and expressing our truth.

Our Elders are powerful and wise and are ready to hold us through these great changes to bring us strength and nourishment.

About Sonraya

My journey with the Sacred Feminine has been a deep and rich experience and continues to offer me opportunities for further soul embodiment and expression. My spiritual work with women has also been my focus for more than 20 years, holding space and a loving heart to help women welcome themselves home to their true selves.

It is a journey of remembrance and I love to weave and create sacred space to help you do just that. I am a catalyst for change co-creating alchemy with spirit, helping you to transform and awaken you to your golden heart centred self, grounded and rooted in truth.

I have been initiated as High Priestess of the Goddess through a 2-year training course back in 2000 which re-ignited my love of the Earth and my journey to awaken the Sacred Feminine within me and others.

This has been a journey to heal the wounds of the feminine and also my masculine so that I can come ever closer into sacred union withing myself and spirit. I am privileged to be a channel for Divine inspiration and healing with a passion to awaken and facilitate a sacred union within from which all flows.
