Women's Retreat · Nubian Royals Sanctuary
The Rise of the Divine Feminine
Awakening of Isis/Auset
We don’t retreat, we return.
7 Days · 18–24 January 2027 (planned)
Heissa Island, Aswan, Egypt
Isis / Auset
At Nubian Royals Sanctuary, we honour Isis, known as Auset, as the Great Mother: mother of the land, guardian of sacred wisdom, and the divine feminine at the heart of this return.
In our spiritual understanding, the Earth belongs to the Mother. Her wealth is life itself—the waters, the soil, the nourishment and the wisdom carried through generations. We belong to this living Earth, and with that belonging comes responsibility.
The Return of the Matriarchy is a call to honour the women who carried us, give voice to what was silenced, and reclaim authority through truth, care and balance.
Here on Heissa Island, beside the Nile, we gather through ceremony, voice, movement, sound and stillness. With Isis/Auset at Philae woven into our journey, we make space for ancestral remembrance and the rise of the divine feminine within ourselves.
For the woman who has held everyone else, there is a place here for you to be held.
Together, we choose what we carry forward for the next seven generations.
The core teachings
Teaching 1
The Great Mother is source, creator, protector and keeper of wisdom — yet she is revered in spirit while living women are overlooked in practice. We bring the question home, making real room for grief, power, tenderness, anger, creativity and longing. These are not problems to be fixed; they are parts of you that have been waiting to be heard.
Teaching 2
Auset — whom the Greeks called Isis — gathered what had been scattered and made it whole. She is sacred feminine authority: not authority over others, but authority rooted in one's own being. The throne must answer to the feather of Ma'at — truth, balance, justice. Love and sovereignty can live in the same body.
Teaching 3
Behind every woman stands a line of women — the gifts and the wounds both came down to us. What am I carrying? What belongs to me, and what was handed to me? We honour our ancestors with honesty about pain, because truth is what sets the next generation free. Every way of mothering is welcome here.
Teaching 4
The underworld is where what has been buried waits — in the body, in the grief, in the inherited silences. Dhyani speaks from more than twenty-five years of meeting what was buried in her own line: testimony, not theory. What is met with honesty loses its power to run your life from the dark.
Teaching 5
Isolation → self-discovery → remembrance → tribe. Sisterhood must have substance: listening, boundaries, shared responsibility and real care. We do not disappear into each other. We stand, each on her own throne, together.
Teaching 6
Matriarchy is not women ruling over men. It is the restoration of life-centred values: care for children and elders, respect for the earth and the water, and responsibility to the generations who come after us. The return of the Mother is not the exile of the Father; it is the restoration of a broken balance.
Teaching 7
This retreat happens in a real place, among real people. Heissa Island is a living Nubian community, not a resort set apart from one. The Nile here is not scenery, and nearby stands Philae, where Auset was honoured for thousands of years. We go and stand where she was loved.
The seven-day journey
Everything in this journey is proposed. Activities, timings and practical details are not yet confirmed and will be finalised with participants before booking. The shape below shows how the teachings would be given room to be lived, not just heard. Rest, choice and integration are built in deliberately — a full schedule is not the goal.
Arrivals at Aswan, transfer to Heissa Island and settling into the sanctuary. Evening opening circle at the Love Temple: introductions, intentions and the first teaching — The Return of the Mother. Early night; the work begins gently.
Teaching and guided reflection on Auset as Mother and embodiment of sacred feminine authority. Gentle movement beside the river (proposed, always optional), afternoon rest and integration, and an evening circle: the throne must answer to the feather.
Teaching on the mother line and sacred inheritance — the gifts and the wounds. Guided ancestral reflection and writing: what am I carrying, and what belongs to me? One-to-one time with Dhyani begins (proposed), and an evening of sound and stillness.
Teaching on the underworld and the work of return, with Dhyani's testimony from twenty-five years of ancestral clearing. Body-based practice (proposed), rest and continued one-to-one time, and an evening fireside circle of honesty about pain.
Boat journey and visit to the Isis/Auset at Philae (proposed; arrangements to be confirmed). Guided remembrance practice at the temple, then return to Heissa for rest, integration and a gentle evening circle.
Teaching on isolation, self-discovery, remembrance and tribe — sisterhood with substance. Paired and group practices of witnessing and being witnessed (proposed), teaching on the return of Ma'at, and an evening celebration ceremony at the Love Temple.
Closing circle: what am I carrying home, and what am I leaving here? A blessing beside the Nile (proposed), then transfers and departures from Aswan.
The sanctuary & your guide
This retreat does not happen in an abstract sacred space. Nubian Royals Sanctuary sits on Heissa Island in the Nile at Aswan — a living Nubian community, not a resort set apart from one. The river here is not scenery. The Love Temple at the sanctuary is a space built for exactly this kind of gathering.
The retreat is guided by Dhyani Love, who has spent more than twenty-five years in healing work and in clearing her own ancestral line, and more than thirty-five years travelling and sitting with spiritual traditions across the world. She does not stand before you as someone who has arrived — she stands as a woman who has done, and is still doing, the work she is asking you to consider.

A boat journey and visit to the Isis/Auset at Philae is proposed and woven into the teachings, but the timing and arrangements are still to be confirmed. The shape of the journey on this page shows how the teachings would be given room to be lived, not just heard.
No previous spiritual practice is needed. Every practice is an invitation. Rest is part of the work, and your consent, personal boundaries and choice to pause or not participate are respected. You are a woman, not a programme to be completed.
