The Rose Retreat, Costa Brava, Spain 12th-17th June, 2026
The Rose Retreat is both a retreat and a pilgrimage, a sacred journey into one of the most mystical and energetically charged regions of the world, the ancient healing lands of The Goddess and Mary Magdalene. The land of the dragons.
Held on the wild and breathtaking coastline of Costa Brava, this land has long called mystics, initiates, and seekers. It lies upon powerful dragon energy lines and ancient earth currents, part of a sacred energetic stream that flows from Paris, through France, across the Pyrenees, through Catalonia, beneath Montserrat, home of the Black Madonna, and into Mallorca, known as the Dragon Island.
These are not just landscapes, but living pathways of energy, where the Earth’s life force rises and moves, what many traditions describe as dragon lines or ley lines.
Join fellow Rose sisters as we connect deeply to our sacred feminine energy to weave the red thread of feminine connection and re-awaken the memory of feminine arts on the Rose Priestess Path. Journey alongside extraordinary, like-minded women from across the globe as we walk ‘The Way’ of the feminine awakening path. Amidst the mystical beauty of these sacred sites, you’ll be held by the wisdom of the land, rediscover your inner strength, and ignite the radiant essence within you.
This heart-opening, womb-awakening retreat has been intentionally curated to ignite your power, life force, feminine essence and to honour your sacred body vessel. Through this immersive experience, you'll have the opportunity to ignite shifts on all levels, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, as we come together as a circle of women, weaving a tapestry of love, expansion, and liberation. To activate an ancient re-membering within ourselves, walking each other home, as we are called to rise and bloom together.
IMAGINE THIS:
Waking each morning to the sound of the sea, sunlight dancing across turquoise waters, and the gentle presence of ancient energies held within this land.
Days spent exploring sacred Magdalene sites, ancient temples, and powerful portals…
Evenings immersed in ocean swims, golden sunsets, and deep feminine connection.
At The Rose Retreat, you’ll step into a sacred space designed to awaken your divine feminine essence and reconnect you to the Rose priestess path, one of ritual, embodiment, and remembrance.
Each day includes gentle yet powerful, transformative feminine embodiment practices, somatic movement, Kuan Yin Qigong, a deeply nourishing feminine Taoist practice that harmonises the body, balances hormones, and activates the heart and womb centres. Breathwork, and ceremony, to awaken your sensuality, intuition, and life force.
This is a time to soften… to receive… to remember.
As you feast on lovingly prepared meals, share in heartfelt sisterhood, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the land, you’ll feel deeply rooted, radiant, and aligned.
Through rituals that honour the priestess path, you’ll rediscover your innate wisdom and radiance, allowing you to embody a softer, more expansive way of being.
This is your sanctuary, a sacred space to rest, heal, and return home to yourself.
In today's chaotic and demanding world, a retreat and pilgrimage becomes an essential refuge for soul nourishment and expansion, offering an opportunity to reconnect with beauty, nature, and spirit.
Join me on this immersive journey to replenish yourself and fill your Grail, the sacred vessel within.
Experience profound activations as we journey to the sacred sites of the Magdalene, the Goddess and Mystics. Immerse yourself in transformative water rituals and rejuvenate in the healing waters of these renowned destinations.

THE LAND OF DRAGONS, STARS & MYSTICS
Catalonia is known as the Land of Dragons, a place where mystical traditions, ancient goddess worship, and sacred lineages converge.
This region holds:
64 churches dedicated to Mary Magdalene
Multiple Black Madonnas, including the revered one at Montserrat
Ancient Venus and Artemis temple sites
Isis priestess temple ruins and the Temple of Asclepius
One of the oldest Magdalene chapels in the West
Dolmens and megalithic stones aligned with stars and cosmic cycles
A powerful portal in Girona, long associated with mystical apparitions
Deep roots of Kabbalah mysticism, with initiates once based here
Strong presence of the Knights Templar, guardians of sacred knowledge
We will be joined at selected sacred sites by a local Magdalene and sacred site expert from Catalonia, who carries deep knowledge of the land, its hidden histories, and its mystical lineages, offering a rare and grounded insight into these powerful locations.
MONTSERRAT – THE GATEWAY
Montserrat is one of the most powerful energetic points in Europe, a true gateway between worlds.
Rising dramatically from the Catalonian landscape, its jagged, otherworldly peaks have long been recognised as a place of deep geomantic power. Many traditions describe Montserrat as a major energy vortex, where the Earth’s energetic currents converge and rise, creating a natural portal between dimensions.
A place of pilgrimage, initiation, and mystery, where the veil between dimensions is said to thin.
Home to the Black Madonna, this sacred site carries deep connections to ancient goddess traditions, Isis lineages, and Venus veneration.
At the heart of Montserrat resides the Black Madonna, known as La Moreneta, one of the most revered sacred feminine figures in Europe.
She is far more than a religious icon.
The Black Madonna is widely understood as:
• An embodiment of the Earth Mother and primordial feminine
• A continuation of ancient goddess traditions, including Isis and Venus
• A symbol of fertility, creation, and deep inner wisdom
• A guardian of the mysteries of the womb, the Grail, and the sacred feminine path
Many believe these Black Madonna sites were built upon much older pre-Christian goddess temples, preserving the energy of the feminine through time.
To stand before her is to encounter a deeply grounding, ancient presence, one that calls you inward, into your body, into your truth.
This is a place of pilgrimage, initiation, and profound transformation.
Long before the monastery was built, Montserrat is believed to have been a site of Venus worship, a temple space devoted to the cycles of the feminine, beauty, love, and cosmic harmony.
The mountain itself is often seen as a natural altar, encoded with sacred geometry and aligned with celestial cycles.
This connection to Venus links Montserrat to the Magdalene frequency, the Rose, and the path of the feminine mysteries.
Montserrat has long been associated with the Holy Grail mysteries.
Some traditions say the mountain was:
• A Grail stronghold, guarded by initiates and mystical orders
• A place of initiation and testing, where seekers would undergo inner transformation
• Connected to the Templars, who are believed to have protected sacred knowledge and relics
Montserrat has long been associated with:
• Mystical visions and spiritual apparitions
• Unexplained phenomena and heightened perception
• Experiences of timelessness and expanded awareness
In this context, the Grail is not simply an object, but the awakening of the sacred vessel within, the womb, the heart, the body as temple.
WATER AS PORTAL & INITIATION
The waters of Costa Brava are not only breathtaking, they are initiatory.
Through ocean swims and water rituals, we work with the element of water as a portal for emotional release, cleansing, and feminine activation.
Often described as holding Lemurian and mermaid energy, these waters support deep remembrance and reconnection.
GIRONA – THE PORTAL CITY
Girona is a powerful energetic gateway and historic centre of mysticism.
Known for its Kabbalah lineage, sacred geometry, and mystical traditions, it is also home to a well-known portal and apparition site that we will visit.
We will also enjoy the beauty, atmosphere, and world-renowned cuisine of this magical city.
THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE
This retreat is a deeply immersive, heart-opening and womb-awakening journey.
Set in a sea-view home directly in front of the ocean, you will experience:
Daily swims in the turquoise sea
A 100% chemical-free sea water pool
Sacred ceremonies and feminine embodiment practices
Time to rest, integrate, and receive
You will be initiated into Rose Priestess arts, including:
Rose ceremonies, working with the frequency of the Rose for heart opening, beauty, and truth
Myrrophore sacred anointing rituals, ancient oil priestess practices connected to the Magdalene lineage
Sacred oil work and temple arts, reconnecting to the traditions of anointing, devotion, and feminine service
WOMB AWAKENING
The womb is a sacred cauldron of feminine wisdom and power, a portal where spirit and matter converge, holding the ancient secrets of life. It is our connection to the web of existence that unites all beings. The womb is the sacred center of a woman’s being, the source of her power, creativity, and intuition. When the womb is centered and aligned, every aspect of her life comes into balance, allowing her to move through the world with clarity, strength, and purpose. Nurturing the womb is nurturing life itself, fostering harmony within and without. When we return to this center, we become grounded, present, and empowered, aligning with the rhythms of our feminine essence.
Each womb carries its own story, a tapestry of emotions, trauma, and ancestral lineage. By honouring our cyclical nature and embracing menstrual awareness, we access an inner temple where the womb reveals its profound wisdom. This is the path to living in alignment with your true blueprint, unlocking your innate creativity and power.
This retreat offers a transformative journey into the depths of your feminine being. Through healing group processes, sacred ceremonies, and gentle movement practices, you’ll nurture your body and womb, releasing stagnant emotions and reclaiming your creative force. Physical motherhood or a physical womb is not required, all are welcome, as we each carry the energetic blueprint of the womb within us.
The frequency of this land supports deep womb and heart activation work.
This retreat is for you if you are ready to:
Experience profound healing for your heart and womb, fostering inner balance and harmony.
Activate codes of feminine remembrance, unlocking the deep wisdom within you.
Learn to listen to your heart and womb centres and allow them to speak through you, gaining deeper insights into your own inner wisdom and intuition. (note: physical motherhood or a womb is not required to attend).

Meet Your Guide
I am a guide of the ancient feminine ways, devoted to awakening sacred remembrance in women across all phases of life. My work bridges the spiritual and the practical, honouring the wisdom of the womb and heart, the rhythm of the cycles, and the embodied power of the feminine.
Rooted in the Rose Venusian Mysteries, I teach the Ancient Feminine Arts for modern women. I create sacred spaces for women to reconnect with their womb and heart wisdom, inner beauty, fertility, creativity, and feminine essence.
I’m passionate about guiding women home to themselves, to live a life of embodied radiance, wholeness, pleasure, and vibrant health. I love to share ancient feminine wisdom in practical, grounded, and relevant ways, offering tools and rituals that modern women can genuinely integrate into their daily lives.
My offerings are designed to be lived and felt, not just learned, supporting lasting transformation from within.
Through 1:1 sessions, courses, rites of passage, pilgrimages, retreats, and ceremonies, I support women in reclaiming their creative essence, sovereign truth, worthiness and power and their bodies as sacred vessels.
My path also honours the inner union of the divine feminine and masculine, restoring balance and wholeness. I work with sacred oils in ritual, rites of passage, and healing, and walk in deep devotion with the elements and plant allies, especially Rose. I am also initiated in the Water Priestess Arts, working with the sacred waters of the Earth as vessels of emotional alchemy and renewal.
I guide Magdalene pilgrimages and Rose retreats through Glastonbury, Southern France, and Spain, lands encoded with ancient wisdom. My soul carries the memory of the Rose Lineage, an ancient red thread that guides and informs my mission.
I’m a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist with a TCM influence, Qi Gong and Taoist Feminine Arts Instructor, Womb Activation Bodyworker, and Somatic Energy Alignment Facilitator. I support women in reconnecting with the Goddess within and walking a path of remembrance, restoration, and radiant embodiment.
With over 20 years of service offering 1:1 sessions, global retreats, ceremonies, and trainings, I create devotional containers where ritual, movement, breath, sacred oils, and elemental wisdom converge. I guide the spiral path of descent and rooted embodiment, to rise fully as a divine human and be a guardian of the Earth.
“To meet 12 woman who I had not known before, but to learn something from each of them. To accept each other like a sisterhood. To be held by each other without judgement. To laugh together and be open, to cry together and not show fear, to listen to each other with open hearts. To sit in union with faith that what will be will be, and what beholds will unfold, to know we met for a reason and to know we have met before. ”
— Briony Down”
