RESURRECTING SOVEREIGNTY
An Art & Storytelling Pilgrimage with ancient pathways of Goddesses of Love and War

Step into the timeless pathways of the Goddesses of Love and War. Journey with sacred archetypes — from Inanna, Ishtar, and Astarte, to Aphrodite, Venus, Britannia, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene — as they rise, transform, and offer their wisdom as they evolve across civilisations.
Associated with the planet Venus and the Feminine Mysteries, this pilgrimage invites you to trace their ascent through mythical storytelling, symbol, and inner communion. Each archetype reveals a gate, a stage of growth, a reflection of the Divine Feminine in motion — teaching courage, love, creativity, and the reclaiming of Sovereignty.
Through art, storytelling, symbology and sound, you are guided on a journey not only through history but into yourself, encountering the sacred dance between Feminine and Masculine principles. This is a path of integration, the sacred marriage of wisdom and embodiment, an invitation to rise, evolve, and reclaim your own inner Sovereignty.
