🌹Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire, UK🌹
This is a feminine initiation retreat for women ready to embody their most sovereign self, reclaim the power forged through their life, and leave Belvoir commissioned into real-world service — anointed by rose, witnessed by sisterhood, and held by the living spirit of place.
The Sacred Sovereign Feminine - Crowned by the Land is a yearly seven-day immersion designed as a living initiation for women who feel the call to step into a truer magnitude of power, devotion, worth, and service.
Across six full days of embodied practice, ceremony, creative transmission, and deep integration, you will be guided through a sequence of “land temples” — the spirit of place, the stone circle, the waters, the womb burrow, the château, the labyrinth, and the forest — each one awakening a different centre of your feminine authority:
body, heart, womb, voice, sovereignty, and service.
You will release an old self that has become too small for you. You will reclaim the gifts forged through your life story.
You will be consecrated in the waters of the heart, descend into the womb mysteries and meet your ancestral power as a deep womb blessing.
You will remember your highest archetypal frequency — Queen, Duchess, Priestess, Empress, or your own true name ;
and learn how to live it in your body, your boundaries, your voice, and your choices.
This is for women at a threshold: ready for initiation, ready for devotion to their own power, ready to lead with heart, standards and to stand in service in the world at this critical time.The final day you will walk the labyrinth, speak your claim at the centre, and be anointed with rose oil as you emerge. You will then commune with the forest, receive messages for your own path and for the collective, and craft an invocation of the part of you that is ready to serve the world.
The retreat culminates in celebration: robe, crown, movement, declaration — a woman wearing herself fully. This initiation is for women who are ready to be witnessed, refined, and commissioned and into embodied archetype and real-world service.
THE NEW SOVEREIGN YOU
By the end of the Belvoir Initiation, each woman leaves with:
A clear embodied archetype (a lived frequency and identity she can return to all year)
A named claim spoken in the labyrinth (the sentence that changes everything)
A rose anointing seal (heart / voice / hands — the felt sense of commissioning)
A Stone Transmission legacy left for future women: a named stone-quality + gateway mudra/posture + written card
A plaster Sacred Heart talisman programmed with heart intention and desire
An “Underground Map” of her life — scars re-seen as power and wisdom pathways
An Ancestral altar experience that roots her into lineage power and protection
A Sovereign Archetype Framework (light/shadow, qualities, motto, standards, how she moves forward)
A written Invocation for the Oracle / World-Bringer self
A practical Service Plan: next steps, timeline, support structures, and the boundary that protects her work
A lived sense of: “I am crowned by the land. I carry this into the world.”
Each full day includes:
Morning Mythic Movement somatic class (archetype-led embodiment)
Brunch at 11 (fasting in the morning)
Creative transmission/expression (making a talisman / map / framework)
90-minute land ritual/ceremony at the day’s sacred site
Integration time (quiet digestion in body and psyche)
Guided meditation journey (deep inner work with Collette)
Evening meal
Night sharing circle at the house (witnessing, mirroring, anchoring)

Temple days
Welcome gathering, logistics, introductions, and a meditation to arrive into Belvoir and be received by the land.
Theme: Threshold & Release
Create the weekly altar in nature. Draw the “old self” and offer it to the fire. Open to a new archetype and a new version of self.
Theme: Sovereignty, Standards & Memory
Receive and name a stone with its gift and its Future Feminine quality. Create a legacy card for future women
Theme: Heart Priestess & Devotion
A priestess-level water consecration into the heart centre. Create a plaster Sacred Heart talisman, programmed with desire, intention, and love.
Theme: The Deep Womb, Scars to Power & Ancestors
Womb initiation on the earth, ancestral connection, and an altar on the land. Create an underground map of your life: where suffering forged power, wisdom, and your greatest work.
Theme: The Sovereign Centre & Highest Archetype
Rose tea ceremony. Channel the voices of the château and cultivate the inner hierarchical voice that owns worth, wisdom, love, and standards. Design your archetype framework (light/shadow, motto, what you stand for, how you move forward).
Theme: Oracle → World-Bringer in Service
Walk the labyrinth, speak your claim at the centre, and be anointed with rose oil as you emerge. Commune with the forest and receive messages from the beings and trees.
