Take back your ownership of your voice
What we have to say is so valuable and so important. Our loving whispers and our angry ROAR! We will free our voice so that the world can hear us.
And this is just a tip from the iceberg ...
"I no longer feel the same after my inner journey to Avalon. After the initiation into the Path of the Priestess.
Something big has happened. Something has been transformed. Something has been remembered. Remembered who I am. Remembered what I'm coming to do here. Old knowledge has come to life. Knowing deeply. I came home. A lot of old burden of lives fell away from me. I truly died and was born again through this deep inner journey and all the profound rituals in this sacred old place in Avalon.
I am now back in the Netherlands. Back to work.
It looks like I'm doing the same thing but nothing is the same anymore.
I no longer fit in old structures., never did, but now it certainly does not fit me anymore. I can no longer participate in the illusion, in the paved paths. In the box of the mind. In a fear-based life.
The fear seems to have disappeared for now.
The fear that others think of me. The fear of judgment and rejection. The fear of not belonging. The fear of shortage ...
But above all the fear of my own strength.
That fear was the greatest.
Wow what a powerful awakening"
Marianne van den Haak
The training
During the training we will guide you through your personal process to discover and awaken the priestess within yourself; so that you can walk your sacred path and do what you came to eath for.
For thousands of years, women have been walking this Path of the Priestess in sisterhood. It is a path full of authenticity, dedication, strength, vulnerability, healing depth and growth. Through the dark and the light. We will pass through the gates of initiation into Priestesshood.
It is incredibly beautiful, but not always easy. During the training, you will be supported by close sisterhood and professional guidance.
The training is based on practical experience, knowledge and personal development. We use a mix of different techniques, ceremonies, therapies, dance, bodywork and trance. We perform the exercises in groups and you will also receive exercises for at home, so that you will fully experience everything you learn and share. This method will offer you insight into the depth of your process and, above all, into the wisdom that you carry with you.
During the training, we will dance a lot, because in dance your most sincere self can be expressed. You will be able to throw off your masks and come to who you really are under the veils of fear and judgment.

"Becoming a Priestess ...
..is a journey of remembering and courage.
Remember that everything is already in you.
As I marched the path that took me into the depths of my being.
I was allowed to see, know, accept and embrace who I am.
As I walked through that inner forest, I felt my shadows, scared but willing I faced what needed to be healed and placed in the light.
It was hard to break those invisible chains that kept me small.
but I did not have to do this alone, those women who were there to held space for me believed in me.
I discovered Sisterhood.
It is good and real.
I came back through rituals, singing, dance, connection, immersed in ancient wisdom.
Initiated as a priestess.
A woman of inner knowing. At home in itself. Rooted in Mother Earth and connected to life. "

"Dear women ... ... who might consider following the path of the priestess, I followed the path of the priestess in 2016 and I can honestly say that it has changed my life in a very positive way!
On the one hand, it is a very personal path to deep layers in your own soul and in the motivation of life. It's about learning how to be thankful and about learning how to take charge of your own life. It is about no more nonsense, no more excuses and become your most powerful self without shame or embarrassment!
It's about believing that everything that makes you who you are is beautiful and has the right to exist. All your weaknesses, fears and deficiencies are just as welcome. as your beauty and your strength. It is about believing that these things make you who you are and are part of this wonderful unique and authentic person that you are.
Another major part of this path is the creation of this deep and empowering connection with all these beautiful women. Sisterhood! It is about breaking free from the competition that we women sometimes feel against each other. You learn to love each other without judgment and support each other in becoming the beautiful and powerful woman that we are all!
Margo and Emelie create a safe and warm environment where everything they offer is an invitation and you have the freedom to take every step in your own time. They believe that everyone must walk a unique path and that it is all about learning how to be true to yourself
I would really recommend the path of the priestess to every lady and everyone who chooses to take this path so much love and pleasure on this wonderful journey! "

Welcome sister
Hello Sister
I’m so glad you found your way here.
My name is Margo Awanata, and I walk the path of ceremonialist, soul guide, and weaver of sacred remembrance. My work is rooted in the wisdom of Celtic spirituality, guided by my love for the Earth, the feminine, and the longing to reconnect with what is truly sacred in our modern world.
For over two decades, I’ve walked beside women on their journeys home to themselves. I’ve had the deep honour of guiding thousands across the world, holding spaces for healing, truth, sisterhood, and soul-deep transformation. Together, we remember. We rise. We return.
Much of my life has been devoted to searching for the remnants of our old spiritual traditions, those that were silenced, scattered, and buried through generations of suppression, spiritual colonisation, and the witch trials. And from the fragments that remain, I’ve slowly begun to piece together something new. Something rooted and real. Something we can pass on.
I believe in creating new Western traditions that are not borrowed, but grown, tenderly and intentionally, from our own ancestral soil. Traditions that honour where we come from, and nourish the path ahead for future generations. This is the work my soul came here to do.
My spaces are not only woven with beauty and remembrance...
they are forged in truth.
I am not afraid to walk with women into the shadows.
To sit with what is raw and real.
To hold steady while what has long been buried comes to the surface to be seen, felt, and released.
In the safety of deep sisterhood, I offer spaces where grief and trauma can move.
Where sacred rage has a place to rise.
Where shame can fall away and old wounds find breath.
This is not bypassing. This is not pretending.
This is grounded work. Rooted work.
The kind that brings women back into their power...not through perfection, but through presence, honesty and a lot of love.
Among the practices that have emerged from this remembering is something I call the Dijara Yalo, a sacred dance and invocation that rises from the bones of this land. Much like the Māori Haka or Hawaiian Hula, Dijara Yalo is an embodied prayer. But where those are rooted in their own deep lineages, Dijara Yalo speaks in the rhythm and soul of ancient European wisdom and modern Western spirituality. It calls us back to the heartbeat of our own roots.
Through this dance, I offer you a portal, not only to remember who you are, but also where you come from.
Whether you meet me in ceremony, retreat, circle, or simply through these words, I welcome you.
There is a path for us.
It winds through the wild and the sacred.
Through the shadow and the song.
And it begins with remembering. The deep ancient remembering in the marrow of your bones.
Let's rise together!
Margo Awanata

"It wasn’t just a workshop. It was a rite of passage. I reclaimed my fight. In a few hours, I felt lifetimes of feminine power pulse through me. Margo, you are pure alchemy. I will make sure our paths will cross again.
Anja Kromer
Margo is a life changer! She´s one of the most honest, warmhearted and
most authentic person I know. I feel so blessed that our paths have crossed.
My life is a spiral and every time when I reach out my hand when I´m on my way
and need someone, I know Margo will be there and hold it. She brought me to my truth.
Step by step. Deeper and deeper. She brought me to my essence – pure love!"
Carmin Karasic

How to work with me?
A journey into remembrance, healing, and sisterhood
Over the years, I’ve created different pathways for women to walk with me — each one meeting you at a different stage of your journey. Some are soft entries into sisterhood. Others are deep initiatory paths. And some are sacred pilgrimages across ancient lands. You are welcome, exactly as you are.
Sisterhood Celebration Weekend
Accessible, joyful, but not superficial
A heartfelt weekend to gather in sisterhood — to celebrate, to connect, to be held. This is where many women begin. It's low-threshold, but real and sincere. Come as you are, leave more you.
→ Perfect if you're new to my work
Path of the Wild Woman
Your first step into the deeper waters
This course is a gentle yet powerful initiation. We walk together through emotional depth, embodied wisdom, and sacred remembrance. For many women, this is the first time they feel truly seen.
→ A beautiful doorway into yourself — and my deeper work
Path of the Priestess
A deep, sacred reclamation
This is a full-bodied initiation into the archetype of the Priestess. Here we remember. We unravel. We reclaim. We rise. This path is not light or performative — it is real, healing, and rooted in devotion.
→ For women ready to go deep and walk in truth
Wild & Sacred Journeys
Sacred retreats across the Earth
I guide intimate retreats to lands that hold ancient memory — places where the veils are thin and the soul can breathe. Each journey is unique, but always rooted in Sisterhood, ritual, healing, and magic.
Avalon – Remembering the Priestess, Ancient wisdom.
Hawaii – Pele, Reclaiming your right of Existence and Sacred Rebirth
Bali – Softness, beauty, and Self-love
Greece – Ancient remembering, Goddess, Sacred Earth
Egypt – Desert and Dolphin: Earth and Star
→ Open to women who feel the call — no previous work with me required
Facilitator Training
For women rising into sacred leadership
This path is for those who feel the call to step forward — not only in service of others, but in deep service to truth, to love, and to their own soul. We work with inner leadership and outer embodiment.
It’s not just about learning to guide others — it’s about becoming the most authentic, rooted version of yourself.
→ For women ready to lead from a sacred, embodied place
Wild & Sacred Union
For couples and individuals exploring sacred connection
This is not a tantra retreat. It is a grounded, sacred space for healing, love, truth, and remembrance — whether you come with your partner or not.
We explore the deeper dynamics of relating, the collective and personal wounds around love, and the possibility of real connection.
You do not have to be in a relationship to join.
And if you come as a couple, you won’t only be working with your own partner.
→ For those longing to walk the path of love — with presence, courage, and depth
You are welcome here.
Whether you are at the beginning of your path or returning home to yourself once again, you belong. All of this work lives in the body. In Sisterhood. In your own truth.

"Margo is an exquisite role model and
an Empowering Guide, filled with ancient wisdom and clear intuition.
Gladys Vianen
Margo, I want to tell you how deeply special you are.
I heard about Wendy’s process — how she was able to fully let go, because of the safety and strength you offer. And that touched something so personal in me.
You are one of the very few people in this world with whom I feel completely safe to release the fire that burns inside me.
With you, I don’t have to hold back. I’m not afraid that my fire will burn you, or that you won’t be able to hold it.
You meet me in my power, with presence, strength, and deep safety. And that is rare.
Thank you.
Joan Morris
Working with Margo was a homecoming.
In her presence, I felt deeply seen and completely safe. Like my wildness, my wounds, and my power all had permission to exist.
There was room to unravel, to heal, to rise.
She doesn’t fix you, she holds the mirror steady while you remember who you are.
It changed me. Truly.
