Description

A retreat into you Inner Temple

Dear friend,

We warmly welcome you to this special retreat weekend, dedicated to the ancient mythic cycle of Isis and Osiris.

This retreat is not a trip to a faraway destination, but a passage into another reality — a movement into the inner temple where myth, ritual, and contemplative practice open doorways to deeper layers of the self. Throughout the weekend, we work within a temple-inspired setting, engaging in ritual drama, symbolic enactment, and Egyptian inner temple practices focused on transformation and growth. These practices help anchor the entire Isis–Osiris cycle as a living metaphor for the core movements of the human psyche: creation, loss, restoration, and renewal.

Themes of the Retreat

Exploring the cycle of Isis & Osiris as an inner journey

•⁠ ⁠The mystery of creation in the primordial time
Enter the mythic cosmology that precedes the Isis–Osiris story: the waters of Nun, the solitary rising of Atum, and the unfolding of the Ennead. This is the fertile ground from which consciousness and the cycle of life emerge.

•⁠ ⁠The emergence and shaping of life
Encounter the divine siblings — Isis, Osiris, Nephtys, and Seth — whose relationships form the living structure of the myth. Their qualities, alliances, and tensions reflect the earliest dynamics of creation: harmony, opposition, complementarity, and the shaping of identity.

•⁠ ⁠Fragmentation, loss, and the dissolution of form
Through Osiris’ betrayal, death, and scattering, we explore symbolic collapse: the moments when coherence falls apart and the old world dissolves so that transformation may occur.

•⁠ ⁠The search for wholeness and inner orientation
Walking in the footsteps of Isis’ tireless quest, we explore the archetypal movement of seeking meaning, recovering what was lost, and navigating transitions with devotion, focus, and intuitive intelligence.

•⁠ ⁠Healing, integration, and re-membering
Following Isis and Nephtys as they gather the scattered pieces of Osiris, we engage in practices of inner integration — restoring harmony and coherence to the fragmented self.

•⁠ ⁠The birth of renewed consciousness and inner sovereignty
From the union of Isis and the restored Osiris, the child Horus is born — a living symbol of awakened presence, resilience, and the emergence of a renewed inner center, capable of carrying forward the integrated self.
