Mary sat in circle with Iris:
"My favorite memory of the cycle circle with Iris is that we laughed SO much! My belly hurt from all the laughing. The best feeling ever!"
Paula worked with Iris privately:
"You know that feeling when you feel like you come home? That has been my experience of all sessions. I felt taken seriously, I could let my guard down. And that is a priceless feeling."

Edwina joined a retreat with Iris:
"Iris is such a wonderful guide. She does not only hold a lot of wisdom, she is also an incredible space holder. She helped me connect with my femininity like no one else has ever before. If you ever have the chance to go on retreat with Iris I can only say: do it."
Melissa joined a one-day cycle workshop with Iris:
"I wish I could be in circle with Iris every week! This workshop changed my life. I feel so much more connected with my body. What I did not expect at all is that I would feel much more clarity about my life and what I want to do with my business. Learning from Iris is pure magic. I can't recommend her more!"
Claudia joined a retreat with Iris before:
"Where to start?? I have never felt so safe, so seen, and so much in my body. Iris is the real deal."
Louise joined a previous retreat:
"For the first time in my life I felt TRUE connection with other women. Iris leads by example and her leadership is pristine. If you ever have the chance to join her, do it. You will not regret it!"
Are you ready to meet the Goddess and allow for the magic to unfold?
You are so welcome to join us! Please note that we only have space for 7 people. If you feel a YES, put your name on the waitlist as we expect to sell out in no time when doors open.

Hi, I'm Iris
During this pilgrimage, I am called to be your guide. I am called to come into circle with you and walk the path of the ancients.
This retreat has been a long time coming. It took me a while to embrace my inner priestess and reclaim this spiritual part of me that I have been hiding for years, and lifetimes.
I have been called by the Goddess to organize this retreat 4 times and I have ignored her 3 of those. Two of these times I was actually living on both Malta & Gozo. I have spent many hours at the ancient temples and have had the most profound experiences of my life there.
The 4th time calling upon me, she was crystal clear. I would do the world a disservice by not accepting to organize this pilgrimage.
It must happen. I have no choice and I must listen - even when I cannot rationally explain it.
I have been given the task to gather 11 women from all over the world...
...and meet in Gozo + Malta, totaling a group of 13 women (myself and my angel friend who will hold space with me included). 13. The number of the Goddess.
I have been instructed exactly which places to visit and which rituals to bring to which sacred place. It all came to me like a sacred download.
This is not a commercial retreat.
This is a SACRED PILGRIMAGE to the ancient temples of the Earth to restore + remember the inner sanctum of our Wombs.
This is not for the faint-hearted.
This is for the strong-souled women who walk the path of the Goddess.
I call all Priestesses, Witches and Wise Women who are ready and who hear the call.
Come join me into the deep caves of the Great Mother.
Come remember with me.
i won't be guiding on you on this retreat alone
