Priestess Retreat is a 6-day journey into the Feminine Mysteries of the Priestess Archetype.
Sia´s body of work is deeply rooted in the path of Love,
cultivating wholeness as a way to heal, transform and awaken the deepest essence of who we are.
This retreat focuses on the Priestess archetype, which embodies the ability to alchemize polarities within herself, integrating the feminine and masculine, the dark and light, the upper and lower, and the spirit and body.
This archetype fosters a state of wholeness and balance that emerges from the union of opposites.
"Sia´s Priestess training is like a resuscitation. A life force revival!
It is an opportunity to be stripped right back to the truth of life, to the sacred.
You will leave more connected to yourself, to your divinity.
It is a life change."
-Sophia Paskell from New Zealand
Awakening the Priestess archetype within will help you to:
- Connect with your true, authentic self and confidently embody it in all aspects of your life.
- Cultivate a profound sense of wholeness and balance within.
- Heal from past trauma and conditioning that may keep you from fully expressing your true essence.
- Expand your intuition and inner guidance, enabling you to navigate the complexities of life with more ease and alignment.
- Embrace all aspects of yourself, including the dark and light, feminine and masculine energies within you.
- Tap into your personal power and serve a greater purpose in life.
- Live a life filled with love, understanding, and union rather than judgment and separation.
- Create spaces for healing and transformation for others.
The Priestess archetype is a profound embodiment of mystical wisdom and transformative power, serving as a bridge between the cosmic and earthly realms.
As a medicine woman and seer, she holds sacred space for profound change,
channeling spiritual insights that transcend ordinary perception.
She possesses the rare ability to see beyond surface appearances and connect with the deeper truths of existence. She acts as a conduit for divine guidance, drawing on her deep connections to the natural world, the cosmos, and untamed realms.
The Priestess is both a dreamer and a sage, her presence a harmonious blend of intuitive insight, profound wisdom, and ethereal grace.

"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 f*, the pain is worth it for the gift of pure, you-ness; tapping into and vibrating with raw life-force energy".
-Felicitas from New Zealand

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
