Mystery School of Queen Isis & the Bee

Sacred Pilgrimage in Ireland
With Sonraya Grace & Pippa Handley-Cooke
September 19th – 23rd, 2025

Boyne Valley, Country Meath, Ireland

If you’ve been feeling the magnetic pull of beloved Isis… if bees have been appearing as messengers in your life… and if Ireland tugs at your heart, know that the sacred motherland of the Emerald Isle calls you home.

Bee Priestess

Ireland, the motherland of ancient wisdom, seeks your return, bearing the gifts of your creative spirit and the star-born waters you hold, to awaken, mend and breathe new life into her ancient heart.  In this profound exchange, you will embody the fullness of your sovereign self, unlocking deeper levels of creation and soul restoration.

Deep within the Hill of Tara, nestled in the Boyne Valley, a sacred labyrinth awaits you, a daughter of the cosmos returning home.

As a Priestess/Priest of the Bee, you will weave healing through the land’s vital lines and ancestral tapestry. Ancient echoes whisper the way for those who remember.  This land of enchantment yearns for renewed reverence and celebration.

A Sacred Gathering: Sonraya Grace & Pippa Handley-Cooke

During this Isis Pilgrimage, author and shamanic-rose-womb spiritual guide Sonraya Grace and water essence creator and intuitive healer Pippa Handley-Cooke come together once more to lovingly guide you in reconnecting with the truth of your multifaceted soul. Together, they will help you restore hidden keys that are embodied deep within you.

In this sacred space, surrounded by other Priestesses/Priests, you will experience the sacred, ancient, and mystical art of reclaiming your womb, power, and essence. Through this journey, you will discover what is holding you back from your full expression and liberate the keys and codes within that will elevate your consciousness to a new level of magnetic radiance.

We will be there for the Equinox point when the inner realms of Queen and King find perfect balance and merge as One. Dancing with the light and dark, this union will gracefully integrate your crystalline energies.

Over this expansive weekend we will create a sacred container for you to deeply connect with your womb/heart chalice, your inner sacred geometric codes, your cosmic song frequency, embrace the sacred within of both your divine masculine and divine feminine, to ignite your inner fires and fill your inner chalice, and activate your dormant cells.

There will be sound, visioning, ancestral healing, soul journeys, ceremony, enchantment and so much more.

It is going to be a deeply transformative and nourishing Equinox journey. We are looking forward to creating an intimate container and unfolding the magic as we come together.

Testimonials from Retreat Attendees

  • 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.

    Anka Harris
  • 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.

    Jane J
  • 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.

    Maz
  • 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!”

    Sigrid Agren Feminine Nourishment Retreat
  • "Sonrya is the most beautiful soul, who holds a safe, supportive, nurturing, magical space, which has supported me with my healing journey and enabled me to grow and step further into being my true authentic self. Sonraya holds a wealth of knowledge wisdom and deep intuition which makes for a very special and magical experience.
    I am so very grateful to Sonraya and feel blessed to have met her and to have attended the Feminine sexual magic retreat and nourishment women’s circles. The experience on the retreat is one which has deeply impacted me and will be held in my heart forever, much love and gratitude to you dear Sonraya."

    Emma Feminine Sexual Magic Retreat Attendee, May 2024
  • "For me, this course was and still is a beautiful, powerful journey of self-discovery and self-love. Sonraya guided us gently and skilfully on this journey, I always felt held and safe throughout the course and afterwards.  It has given me immense healing on so many levels. It is still sinking in after all these weeks and new layers are still releasing and coming to the surface. I am so grateful to Sonraya and everyone on the course for the love, energy and new insights that it has given me. It was hard to go back to the “real world” I would have loved to stay a while afterwards to bath in the healing energies!
    I can highly recommend this Retreat to women."

    Ellen Van Lameon May Retreat, 2024
  • "The Awaken Eros Retreat with Sonraya has definitely helped me a lot and has enabled me to pull on my strength to make some big decisions about what I want for myself. I also feel a lot more at peace with losing my dad; it feels like a huge weight has been lifted which I can’t thank Sonraya enough."

    Sian Andrews Brunt
  • “I do feel a shift and feel it will grow more over the next few weeks. I’m ready to grow and believe in my abilities.  I’m so grateful to have met you all and much love to everyone and Sonraya and Pippa.  I can’t thank you both enough for holding us in the space, truly hard at times but magical.  I want another one.”

    Tina Golden Creatrix Retreat Attendee - March 2024
  • "This retreat was the most magical and powerful experience. Both Pippa and Sonraya hold space so beautifully and tenderly - I felt completely supported all the way through our time together. I'm still processing the magic that happened in the space and feel I will be for time to come. The ripples are huge! It's hard to put words to the experience (even though I'm a writer!) but I'd very much recommend attending a retreat with these amazing women."

    Nicola Humber Founder of The Unbound Press, Golden Creatrix Retreat Attendee - March 2024
  • "This was my first retreat staying away and not knowing anyone, I can truly say it was the best experience I have ever had it was truly magical With so much planned and surprises throughout, sonraya and Pippa are truly fantastic and there knowledge and kindness Support and love shines through out the whole experience, I would highly recommend and definitely hope to come to more events in the future - 10/10."

About Sonraya

My journey with the Divine Feminine and Divine Masxuline 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 been my main focus for more than 25 years, holding space 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 inner masculine so that I can come ever deeper into sacred union within my heart and with Great Spirit. I am privileged to be an intuitive channel for Divine inspiration and healing with a passion to awaken and facilitate a sacred union within from which all flows.
