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. "

Path of the Priestess Training
Can you feel it?
In the beating of your heart, the butterflies in your belly and in the depth of your womb?
We are living in a time of change, and we women are waking up. We are ready to move away from the paved road and take our own winding path to the essence of our feminine being.
The awakening of feminine leadership from the heart.
It is our divine answer to the call that comes from the depths of ourselves and the depths of the earth.
Are you ready to meet yourself in your deepest shadow and put yourself in the clearest light?
Are you ready to be the change the world is waiting for?
This is a journey for the brave woman who is ready to look at herself at a deep level.
"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! "

Hey Sister
​
If we were sitting together now, face to face, heart to heart, this is the story I would tell you.
The Darkness Before the Dawn
When I was 17, I didn’t want to live.
I was locked in the grip of bulimia and sinking into a deep depression. I was at war with my body, disconnected from life, drowning in shame.
There were days I wished I wouldn’t wake up. Many days. Days I disappeared behind a smile, pretending.
Inside, I was breaking.
But somewhere, somehow, I found a thread. A breath. A whisper.
And that thread led me to women.
To Sisterhood.
To women who sat with me in truth. Who didn’t fix me, or judge me.
They saw me.
And in their gaze, I began to see myself again.
Not the broken girl, but the woman waiting underneath it all.
Sisterhood saved my life.
Not in a poetic way, in a very real, very raw way.
That’s why I do this work.
​
A Path of Remembrance
My healing journey wasn’t linear, or quick, or clean. It started at 17, and it is still going. Spiralling deeper and deeper. Always a new layer.
It was sacred and very messy.
I walked through the teachings of Shamanism, breath, Tantra, , ritual, dance, bodywork...
I cried into the Earth. Danced my rage into Fire. Held myself through the storm.
And eventually…
I heard the voice of the wild woman inside me.
The priestess. The earth daughter. The sovereign soul.
And I chose to live. Not just survive... live.
Since 2003, I’ve held space for women to walk that same path.
To meet themselves ,raw, real, radiant , in sacred sisterhood.
I don’t believe in fixing.
You are not broken. All though it might feel that way...
I believe in remembering.
In shedding the lies.
In letting your body lead you home.
My work weaves together:
Embodiment
Ritual
Shadow Work
Sacred Rage
Voice liberation
Circle
Deep feminine remembering
Elemental wisdom
Sacred fire, fierce love, and wild softness
​
I create spaces where you can lay it all down,the masks, the pressure, the silence, and finally, be.
Held. Seen. Met. Free.
Margo
​​
I am a mother, I have three beautiful children.
I am a wife, Married in 2013 with my big Love, Oskar.
I laugh loudly. I cry often. I dance barefoot in the kitchen and howl with the moon.
I am messy, chaotic, kind, deep, loving and funny.
I love the ocean, I love to travel, I love to dance, I love horses, I love to make love in the pouring rain, or underneath the stars, I love to walk barefoot, I love to write, I love to sing.
I’m not here to be perfect. I’m here to be real.
I do not teach the truth, I invite you to explore how I see the truth.
Life still teaches me daily.
I walk with Sisterhood.
And I walk with you, when you feel the call.
An Invitation
If something in you is stirring...
A knowing. A remembering. A longing.
Trust that.
You are being called not to change who you are…
…but to become more of her.
To return to the woman you were before the world told you who to be.
I would be honored to walk beside you.
In ritual. In softness. In your wildness. In your rising, in your sacred rage.
.

With love, always,
Margo Awanata
Wild & Sacred Women
"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!"

Margo about herself
Why Sisterhood?
Women are meant to share and connect deeply with each other. In ancient times it was best way to survive. Times changed and woman became more isolated, yet still deep inside we never lost the longing, the deep desire to share, connect and learn from each other.
We have been holding our own wounds and pain for far to long. We see that when women connect in our training and retreats that magic happens. We start to build each other up when we connect from the heart and share our vulnerability and our incredible strength.
We will heal each other by healing ourselves. We have been holding back for so long and with our sisters support we will find our voice and our truth.
