About this Retreat
"Deep, clear, internally connective, magical. Bryony is like a powerful conductor of feminine energy and wisdom and a knowledgeable teacher of deep and almost forgotten feminine arts."
♀
Rewilding intimacy with the heart of nature.
I am Bryony Rose.
In essence : I am a pilgrim, observing the sacred in every step, daring to enter unchartered territory.
In practice : I am a weaver ~ of womb, of worlds ~ one who follows the iridescent threads, soothing that which is torn, tending what nourishes our growth, creating & holding space for transformation.
In truth : I am a lover - of the wild, and the untamed places within ourselves.
My work endeavors to encompass women at any & all stages of life.
I work with a multidisciplinary approach, with tools encompassing my broad life experience & training : ~
more than a decade dedicated to womb work & somatics,
7 years of study in a pathway of female animism & ritual,
a life-long love of Earth & her flowers, with more than 5 years learning through expert teachers the art of vibrational medicine & healing,
~ & I continue to study and grow, anchoring it through my own embodiment.
My connection to the lands of South of France, runs through my blood and my lineage ~ my ancestors came from the Pyrenees mountains, and are believed to have practiced in the Cathar faith, later becoming Huguenots, and having to flee continued persecution.
In this life I have spent some years both living and questing on these lands, rekindling an ancient flame of remembrance in my flesh and soul. For me it is a relationship, that I am called here as the land calls for me. I endeavour to guide those who feel the longing to journey here, with the deepest care and integrity, and deep recognition of its untamed wildness and a place of sanctuary.

I AM ANNA MAY ADELLA
I CARRY THE NAME OF MY MATERNAL AND PATERNAL GRANDMOTHERS. A MERGING OF THE RIVERS OF WISDOM ALIVE WITHIN MY BLOODLINES.
I AM THE KEEPER OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE OF LIGHT. A SPIRITUAL CIRCLE PASSED THROUGH THREE GENERATIONS OF MY FAMILY.
I AM IN COMPLETE SUBMISSION TO THE GUIDANCE OF SPIRIT IN MY LIFE WHICH HAS BEEN A DEEP INITIATION THESE PAST 15 YEARS. HAVING STUDIED MANY DIFFERENT LINEAGES FROM SHAMANIC TO THE MYSTICAL ESSENE TRADITION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BY THE CURIOSITY AND POWER OF THE ANCIENT LANGUAGES. THE VIBRATION AND TRUTH OF THE ORIGINAL PRAYERS OF THE EARTH.
I HAVE BEEN GUIDING SOUL CONSTELLATIONS THROUGH THE SACRED SITES OF EUROPE, EGYPT & THE AMERICAS FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE LIVED AS A NOMADIC PILGRIM FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE GUIDED PRIMARILY BY THE WIND CALLING THE WILD NATURE OF MY SPIRIT.
I HAVE BEEN CURATING TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR WOMAN GUIDED BY MY VOWS TO THE GODDESS TO BE IN SERVICE TO THE AWAKENING OF THE DIVINE FEMININE IN THESE TIMES.
I BELIEVE THE GREATEST GIFT WE HOLD AS WOMAN IS THE ABILITY TO CHANNEL THE PURE VIBRATION OF THE CREATRIX THROUGH OUR WOMB AND VOICE . MERGING WITH THE GREAT MOTHER IN HER ORIGINAL CAPACITY TO CREATE THOUGH LIGHT & SOUND.
I HOLD THE WINGS OF THE GREAT MOTHER IN A WAY THAT CREATES SAFETY FOR WOMAN TO JOURNEY DEEP WITHIN THE UNKNOWN. A NATURE OF SOULSCAPE REVEALED THROUGH THE SURRENDERED POWER OF THE HEART

THE JOURNEY
This is an invitation to Return of the Druid Rose - an 11 Day Devotional & Pilgrimage through the veils of the feminine mysteries, oracular wisdom and ecstatic trance - as we embark on an initiatic quest in a land rich in the living legends of the Mary’s and the Magdalen.
In this edition of the Druid Rose, we pass through the gateways of the feminine heart ~ mirroring our outer journey with an inner pilgrimage through the layers of purification, anchor & compass.
🜄
Arriving in the misty valleys of Ariège, our journey is initiated by the crystalline waters and ancient stone, beginning our immersion into the teachings of the feminine heart.
Here, we exhale into the deep holding the land has for us.
Here, we soften into our animal bodies to become one with the wild river, at home amongst the mossy rocks ~ allowing our hearts to be purified by the undulating rhythms of the land, awakening codes of revelation and freedom, as we dance the winding path laid by the Magdalen’s in Southern France.
Trusting our feet, our journey continues as we follow the rose path through the Aude valley and Bugarach, where the Magdalen’s are said to have set up their ministry upon fleeing Jerusalem. Dotted between mountain and stream, an abundance of places hidden & known invite us into communion with them as we anchor more deeply into our centre.
In this rugged landscape we unfurl the petals of our hearts, remembering that the answers which we seek exist within the Earth herself, and to those who have ears to hear ~ She speaks.
Surrendering to the dark light of the the cave, our inner eyes open ~ recognising our part to play in the dance of creation.
The Magdalen legend has woven its way into this place like a river carving through rock, a myth with a soul more true than any historians account.
With our bare hearts and feet, we invite an embodied encounter with these living mysteries - revealing the interconnection between Matter & Spirit, Earth Mother & Sky Mother, as we actively participate in the Mystery as it is being lived through us - unveiling the Druid Rose, the remembrance that all is holy & whole, held in the sacred Web of Life.

The Land
Our Pilgrimage to the living Venus Temple of the South of France is an alchemical immersion into the Dragon Rose Line and Feminine Mysteries of Gaia.
At each sacred site, you will encounter a lifting of the Veil, through insight, activations and direct revelation, awakening the codes of your unique frequency that wishes to bloom at this time.
♀
This area is ripe with the legends of the life of Mary Magdalene, who, as the story goes, built a community here in this valley after fleeing persecution.
Bugarach & the surrounding valleys are the historical and spiritual home of the Cathars, so the whole region holds an ancient palpable magic.This mesmerising mountain is a geological phenomena, and home to hidden caves that are said to be gateways between worlds.
All we know is what we feel here; being on this land creates quantum shifts and deep healing to unfold.
Over our 11 day journey we immerse ourselves fully in this landscape allowing it to speak to & through us - body, breath & bone. What you will discover in direct contact with the land here will run far deeper than anything you could read in a book, or someone else's words.
♀
This land is a living library of Stellar and Grail Wisdom.
Through igniting your Sacred Yes to journey upon the Dragon Rose Lines of Gaia, you invite the possibility for significant and transformative teachings to enter your life - unraveling ourselves to the nectar of our True Essence.
