Connect with your Wise Woman & Inner Temple
“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’)
During these intense times of change we are called to step up and become the woman who is empowered ready to fully align with her authentic Self.
The Goddess, 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.
Join our sacred circle of women for a powerful Winter Feminine Retreat on Saturday,11 December.
Dive deep into the darkness to 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
Workshop Overview
The Great Council of Grandmothers is guiding me once again, to call women together in sacred circle ready for some important and powerful healing that will align us firmly on our path of power.
It is time to heal the split between the feminine and masculine, to reclaim and own our power, to stand firm and strong as women together, the embodiment of the Divine Feminine.
Along with our spirit guides, the Council of Grandmothers will guide, support and nourish us with their power and wisdom, strengthening our resolve, building our inner resilience and assisting us in remembering and recalling our gifts and wisdom.
This is a powerful time of year as we begin our descent into the darker months of the year. Our true nature as woman is to rest and replenish in the womb of the Mother.
These are essential ingredients we need to cultivate as women to prepare us for a loving and an abundant spring. It is one that honours our natural rhythms and cycles and flow in life.
Autumn/Winter is a perfect time to honour our ancestors and begin to heal and release old patterning brought down our mother and father lineage. There is also much ‘gold’ to be received in terms of new gifts and wisdom to be returned as we embrace our sovereignty.

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 20 years or more, 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 even closer in to sacred union with myself. 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.
