Sacred Awakening Priestess Leadership Retreat
at the Temple of the Mothers
“During this time of transition upon our Earth, we have the opportunity to restore our hearts and reawaken Love for all of life.” ~ Dawn DelVecchio
August 21-26, 2025
Reserve & Luna, New Mexico
Small Group • Personalized Support
Beloved Sisters of Light – It is time to up our game!
As the ascension energies rock our world, those who have come to awaken are called to our personal “next level” … next level of skills, self-awareness, inner peacefulness, and service.
Timelines are splitting. The timelines of deep separation, isolation and disconnect from Divinity seem at times to have the “upper hand.” But it is all a matter of choice. What we choose in these years will determine our lived experience in this and other incarnations.
Coming together in the physical and in the name of Love Divine is antithetical to the lower trajectories. It is now essential for Light Leaders and Sacred Sisters to share in-person, sacred space with each other and with Earth Gaia whenever we can.
Join me for 5 days & nights at the Temple of the Mothers, in the mountains of New Mexico this August! We will gather in Sacred Space in order to raise the planetary vibration for all of life through …
Deeply restoring our own energies
Connecting with Mother Earth, and
Lifting each other as we RISE!
You Don’t Have To Do This Alone
Gain Support & Strength with Sisters of a Like Mind
If you’ve joined me on prior retreats, you already know the power of these immersive experiences for building life-time alliances with other sacred sisters. That’s because our individual experience of ascension is up-leveled rapidly through heart-centered connections and support.
Given the fact that many of us have placed ourselves in geographic and personal circumstances such that we feel “alone” as light-bearers, it makes sense that restorative connections through in-person gatherings is of super high-value now.
At a time of such immense change and turbulence, the strength of our sisterhood is more essential than ever. That’s why my retreats are specifically designed to give you the tools and alliances to support you beyond our time together.
Indeed, one of the great joys of these retreats has been witnessing sister-bonds woven for healing, shared empowerment, new co-creations, and service. I have been blessed to see women from across the world come together, witness and lift each other, and even go on to collaborate on new endeavors together. These are lifetime friendships!
It is truly the re-weaving of the ancient sister-bonds, empowered by the wisdom of awakening women on-mission. So if you’ve not yet joined me for one of these sacred immersions, let 2025 be the year for you!
“I received so much from the Priestess Leadership Retreat. I was inspired, opened my heart to myself and others, shared and shed so much. I also had powerful breakthroughs. Every day just kept getting better and better. I could truly feel a transformation come over me. This Priestess Retreat was such a rewarding experience.”
Next Level Upgrades & Activations
Yes, it is time to up our inner game. It is time for us each to receive and embody the Next Level of Activations and Light Codes in order to hold steady and lead our lives with peace & clarity as outer-world upheavals increase.
During this gathering, we will focus upon healing and restoring our connection with Gaia and our Divine Human Blueprint in order to hold the field for self, loved ones and humanity. We will do this through . . .
Sharing & Deep Listening
Light-Encoded Channeled Transmissions & Activations
Ceremony & Devotional Practices
Forest Walks, Meditations & Nature Attunements
Planetary Gridwork Focused on the Seeds for New Earth
I am guided to continue to host retreats for women (and soon, men too!) choosing the ascension path. Although I will be offering fewer retreats than in past years, I know the potency of these containers is increasing through the intention and devotion of myself and those who show up.
By Application or Invitation Only
This is a small, intimate group retreat with a maximum of 7 women. Our purpose is to gather for deep Priestess work for our own healing, and in service to the collective. It is offered by invitation – or application + interview only.

“Being in sacred sisterhood and doing ceremonies together was incredible! Dawn’s grounded leadership inspired me to step up and own my gifts more fully. Her facilitation created a safe and nurturing space to explore all facets of me, so that I can lead from my center with authenticity and integrity. I had an unforgettable time, and highly recommend working with Dawn if you have the chance.”
“Dawn provided a beautiful container in which to trust, love and express my journey! The love I felt was beyond words and my experience was magical!”
Is This For You…
Please note that a key component of this experience is the restoration of our humanity as natural, connected, social and Divine beings.
You love making deep connections and sharing sacred space with other sisters.
You are comfortable in natural environments and are able to spend time in high desert and alpine country.
You love ceremony and are ready to step into co-creative leadership.
You are willing and able to be open, honest and take ownership of your own needs.
You are willing and able to both receive support and hold space for others.
You are willing to pitch in with meal preparations and clean-up.
We will be spending a LOT of time in nature, both alone and as a group. We will be walking on mostly flat but sometimes hilly landscapes, mostly off-road, and off of any designated trails.
We will also be sharing close space (emotionally and physically), including holding hands, hugging, dancing and sweating in close proximity.
Therefore this retreat is not for you if
You are uncomfortable in raw nature.
You are not comfortable sharing a room and participating in dinner prep or clean-up.
You are unable to walk for up to an hour outdoors in the sun.
You are not comfortable sharing in a personal, honest and vulnerable way.
“Dawn is masterful at creating and building a sacred container so that distortions may be cleared within the high frequency of Love. Thus she creates safety for each woman to become the oracle and share her gifts. Each session feels divinely guided and amplified as the love expands palpably through the women in attendance. I feel it was an initiation of the highest order, and highly recommend a retreat with Dawn anywhere on the planet, in service to humanity during these critically auspicious times!”

“Spending quality time with Dawn and the other sisters was a very powerful experience that opened me up to my innate power within. I felt seen, heard and truly loved in a container that was safe and expansive. Dawn leads authentically with her full heart, and humbleness. Thank you Dawn for such a life-changing experience, I’ve been able to bring the strength and power of the Priestess into my life and am a much better woman for having experienced it.”
“The retreat with Dawn and our fellow star sisters was profoundly life-altering. Parts of my soul were re-membered as we opened a portal to a higher vibrational way of being together in deep love, reverence and communion. Dawn exemplified this very pure and sincere devotion to embodying the ‘new human’ we want to be for the change we want to see in this world. Fiercely committed, inspired, always keeping the highest frequency of integrity in word and deed, and yet also humble and human. And we had so much fun! It was a sacred council indeed. My truest purpose has been re-ignited and my soul is on fire!“
