Solstice Awakening Retreat with Isis; June 18-22, 2026

Step into a deeply transformative five-day retreat designed to reconnect you with renewal, intuition, and inner strength. As the earth awakens from winter, you are invited to enter your own season of rebirth—slowing down, shedding old weight, and opening to a more aligned, empowered version of yourself. This is more than a getaway; it’s an intentional rite of passage into your next chapter of spiritual and personal growth.

Drawing upon ancient traditions and the timeless symbols associated with Isis, this retreat weaves together mythic teachings, guided practices, sacred ritual, and contemplative exploration. Through these experiences, you’ll learn to embody themes of resurrection, sovereignty, protection, and intuitive knowing—qualities that naturally harmonize with the rising energies of spring.

🌿 What You Will Experience & Receive

Throughout the retreat, you’ll participate in practices designed to awaken, nourish, and expand your inner landscape. These may include:

Grounding rituals to clear stagnant energy and restore balance

Guided teachings on ancient symbolism and the mysteries of Isis

Group ceremonies honouring renewal and transformation

Nature-based practices that attune you to seasonal energies

Quiet reflective periods for integration and personal clarity

Supportive community circles where insight and connection blossom

Each activity is chosen to help you release old patterns, deepen your intuition, and step more fully into your purpose.

Why the Temple of Solomon exists

The Temple of Solomon grew out of my own need for spaces where change could be met consciously, rather than rushed, avoided, or explained away. My life has included profound loss, long periods of transition, and decades of study and practice focused on transformation, ritual structure, and meaning making during times of upheaval.

I have spent years guiding others through moments when life breaks open through retreat work, teaching, and one on one guidance, always with an emphasis on presence, agency, and respect for what people are actually carrying. I do not believe transformation needs to be dramatic to be real, or performative to be powerful.

The retreats and gatherings offered here are shaped by that understanding. I hold these spaces carefully, with clear boundaries and attention to the people in the room. This work is not about escape or self improvement. It is about creating a pause long enough for something honest to shift.

About your teacher

Athena

Founder and Lead Teacher, Temple of Solomon Retreats

Athena brings over 37 years of spiritual practice and teaching experience. Her journey began in a far too haunted house on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada, leading to early study of Theosophy, then serious study and practice of magic once she came of age.

After a vision quest, and again during an Abramelin working years later, Athena was called to create a retreat space where seekers could connect deeply with nature, divine forces, and their own inner authority.

Known for her no nonsense approach, Athena creates experiences that balance traditional method with practical instruction. Her teaching emphasizes effective technique, clear boundaries, and results that come from correct practice.
