The Way of the Priestess - 3 Day Ritual Dance Retreat

Do you feel called to explore the path of the Dancing Priestess?

Are you ready to awaken the mystery of who you truly are—through sacred movement, ritual performance, and communion with the unseen?

Do you long to experience dance not just as art, but as medicine… as prayer in community with like-minded women?

Welcome to ! Join us for a transformative journey at The Isis Oasis Sanctuary where you will immerse yourself in the sacred teachings and practices of the Priestess.

This 3-day retreat is a gateway into the sacred work we do in the Priestess Training Program of the Iseum of Quimera—a mystery school devoted to embodiment, transformation, and lineage-based ritual. Whether you're drawn to the priestess path, performing in ceremonial settings, dance as a form of ritual, or simply deepening into your inner wisdom, this weekend is your invitation into our temple.

Dates: August 8-10, 2025 -- Arrive: Friday 3:00pm - Depart: Sunday 2:00pm (optional informational session about the yearlong training 2-3pm)

Location: Isis Oasis Sanctuary in Geyserville, CA (20889 Geyserville Ave, Geyserville, CA 95441)

Because we will be creating a ceremonial container together, we ask that you are able to attend for the FULL retreat. Please account for these times when planning. It is disruptive to the intentional spaces we create to have people enter or exit the container outside scheduled times. We thank you in advance for supporting the ceremonial space.

• Daily Rituals – Receive traditional temple blessings from the Priestesses of Quimera, including aromatic smoke cleansing and essential oil anointing to anchor and uplift your energy body.
• Ritual Dance Workshops – Learn a powerful form of ritual dance that opens gateways to the invisible realms of our humanity. Channel your deepest experience, connecting on the level of the soul through movement in a way that is intuitive, ceremonial, and transformative.
• Dance as Devotion: Prayerformance Ceremony – The retreat opens with a Ritual Dance concert offered by priestesses of Quimera Ritual Dance, where movement becomes prayer and each gesture becomes an offering. During the retreat you will learn this movement form and have the opportunity to perform in a collective dance offering, where performance becomes prayer and the body becomes the altar.
• An Introduction to the Priestess Path – Enter a temple lineage devoted to the ancient mysteries of Isis. Our program weaves Egyptian wisdom, archetypal embodiment, energy medicine, and ritual dance performance into a soul-awakening path of priestess initiation. At the end of this retreat, if you are interested in this training, plan to stay afterwards for about an hour, learn about our yearlong initiation and feel into whether this deep dive is calling your name.
• Sisterhood & Circle – Connect with the priestesses of Quimera Ritual Dance, a community of women on the path of embodiment, magic, and transformation.
• High-Vibe Nourishment – All meals lovingly catered with fresh, vibrant, plant-forward ingredients to support your energetic body and spiritual process. Meat & vegetarian options available; catered to all your dietary needs.
• Lodging Included – Comfortable, peaceful accommodations to support your rest and integration throughout the weekend. Featuring a salt water pool, hot tub, and animal sanctuary on site! Dorm lodging included, shared and private options available.
