Ankh-ing the Golden Creatrix

With Pippa Handley-Cooke and Sonraya Grace

A powerful retreat in Glastonbury for women to remember and embody their Creatrix potential giving birth to the new.

A three-night retreat at the beautiful Chalice Well House and Gardens in the heart of Avalon, Glastonbury, to welcome the potent creative forces of Spring and all that she is ready to gift us.

Monday 18-Thursday 21 March 2024 

Workshop Overview

There is a powerful calling to gather sacred soul sisters to immerse in the golden vibrations of Ancient Egypt and the wisdom of the Bee. To come together for something so beautiful and magical that we are so excited to share with you.

This retreat is a special opportunity to further awaken your creative potential as a Creatrix of your own destiny, to deepen into your mother creative energies to give birth to the new.  Women are the midwives of the new creative flows that are ready to be gifted to each of us and the heart of Gaia.

Pippa and Sonraya come together once again having been High Priestesses of Isis reactivating their combined heart light in service to aid humanity in the next chapter that is unfolding.  Working with the golden Ank holding the key to our liberation.

A Creatrix 

‘A Creatrix has a deep connection to the moon cycles and honours her bodies cues for restoration and healing.  She desires to be in communion with all of Life.  From birds to animals to plant life as she understands that we are all One and sacred.  She moves through the world with a sweet quality of relaxed nurturance.’

Retreat Description

Our intent for this retreat, is for you to deepen your heart connection within a safe and sacred space, that you can share and show all of you, the innocent, the intuitive, the wild and free. To be held in ceremony with timelines and keys remembered, your connections with Priestesses of Isis, within the Isle of the heart.

WE will be holding and receiving as the sweet honey of remembrance.

The magical elementals and the Fae kingdom as well as our star ambassadors naturally will play an important role as we unite with them to create new flows for our inner wellbeing and for the planet.

Programme includes:

  • We will connect deeply with the land, the trees and flowers, the waters and the grids through sacred ceremony, sound, breath and movement.
  • As Priestesses of the Egyptian pantheon, we are gathering to connect more deeply within ourselves, to tend to the seeds that were planted at the Winter Solstice and at Imbolc and to honour the heart fields with enriching love.
  • There will be sound, guided meditations, breathwork, working as a unified heart field to create sacred ceremony within the gardens, at the Well Head and Lionhead.
  • There will be honouring, healing, expansion of our Goddess power, and an opportunity to rebirth with the White Spring and an invitation to plunge into the cool waters as part of our initiation. Private access to the White Spring (this we will request with the volunteers of the White Spring on the Tuesday 1630 and is still to be confirmed)
  • A very special ceremony to honour the Equinox moment at 0306 am and receive the flows, on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, with the elementals of the Chalice Well Gardens. (this is optional)
  • A final celebration ceremony to honour and give thanks for all that has been received and created together.

Venue

  • A deep day of connection, place of tranquility and learning shared with likeminded beautiful souls in a wonderful space. Thank you for holding the space Sonraya and for bringing this to fruition. I honour you.

  • Sonraya is a rare jewel in this world. She is gifted, giving, real and realistic, genuine, kind, honest, loving, connected and so very wise. After attending a series of her one-day workshops in such safe, natural and peaceful surroundings, I feel and know that I have experienced an extraordinary shift; following decades of wrangling with a very difficult relationship and dynamic, I feel as if I have emerged into the light.
    It is as if a boulder has been rolled away and the light is shining into a cave I hardly knew I had trapped myself in; my full light, my shining me, the purity of my childhood self is free to breathe and dance again! Thank you from my heart and soul, Sonraya. You facilitated this. You made it possible. And you are incredible.

  • A beautiful day with many profound experiences and loving support and friendship. A day that will stay in my heart and memory for a long time.

    Sue F
  • Sonraya has a vast expanse of knowledge that she is able to share in an incredibly intuitive and supportive way.
    I've found her guidance and intuition invaluable on my own healing path.
    Each of her workshops have been well thought out and designed to reach out to fullfil each person's needs.
    I have just attended the Pinnacle of Atlantis workshop and honestly cannot find enough words to express how powerful the day was.
    Amazing as always Sonraya, thank you.

  • Sonraya’s facilitation at the Rose Sisterhood Retreat 2021 was beautifully transparent and fresh. From the initial virtual meeting, the pre and post emails and the held container that was created for us to flourish and grow within during that weekend. It was very special indeed.

  • “ The Feminine Autumn Nourishment Retreat felt like a much needed break from the demands of everyday life. This space allowed me to reconnect to my center, breathe consciously and get in touch with my inner guidance and wisdom. I felt a strong connection to the nurturing energy of Mother Earth during the meditation, it made me feel anchored and grounded. I didn’t know what to expect from the Shamanic journey, yet it was a wildly interesting inner exploration during which I got lots of insights on how to bring more balance into my life. The Sound Bath felt like the perfect ending to it all as it allowed me to deeply let go, relax and reset. It all felt profoundly nourishing to my body, mind and soul. Sonraya’s loving and caring energy made me feel safe and cared for at all times. I left the retreat feeling centred and at peace. I highly recommend this retreat!”

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.
