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! "
Wendy Brugman, Ghent, Belgium
I have been on a journey with Margo 3 times
And it was a life-changing retreat each time.
Both Margo and the Land welcomed me and saw me growing day after day of the retreat.
I was held into the loving arms of sisterhood under the guidance of the wisest and wildest woman I know.
This is an opportunity to connect to the deepest of yourself and of the ancient and vibrant land Margo takes you..

"Coming from a burn-out due to a very masculine and hard career, I really needed a change in my life. Something really different, something that would touch me to the very core of soul.
A friend directed me to Margo her website and I took a leap of faith...I signed in for a retreat. I was so scared,I almost turned around at the door. I am so glad I found the courage to open that door. This retreat did what a year of therapy could not do. I danced, I cried, I laughed, I roared, I released and I found sisters
When I was laying down at the floor after releasing years of pain and frustration I felt my whole body finally relax for the first time in years.
When I came back up I saw Margo her eyes and she saw me. She looked straight to my soul and through her eyes I remembered myself.
Margo, you are a true blessing. Your big heart and wild fire really helped me transform my shit to strength. My pain to love. I love you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"I've joined many retreats of Margo in the passed years, but every time feels like the first time and peels off another layer...
The deep connecting with the land, the beautiful nature in a foreign country adds so much to the experience, and sharing sisterhood and powerful ceremonies led by Margo invites and inspires to go ever deeper.
If you have the chance: go with Margo, you won't regret it."

"Have you ever read a book that left you truly enchanted? This is how I felt after my journey to Avalon with Margo. I was blown away by the experience and the deep teachings she offered. I have been to Glastonbury many times and every time I was there I thought I was in Avalon. Only now, with Margo I really have the feeling that I have been there and it is so much more magical and powerful than I could imagine. I experienced real magic trough the rituals and the work we did there. I could feel the veil open and I could really hear the call.
And in this amazing experience I have made sisters for life. I will join Margo to Hawaii too.
Marie Becker

"Meeting Margo at a recent retreat called Shed Your Layers was simply life-changing. I've never encountered such beauty in combination with a breadth of love and compassion for each and every person. Margo is the embodiment of the Earth Mother through the ages. She lifts us up, shares herself so completely, and moves us all toward our best selves. You will hear her words echo in your soul far beyond any retreat you attend. It WILL change you; it WILL free you in ways you cannot imagine"

’m deeply deeply touched by this magical week with Margo and the other beautiful sisters.
Such a warm bath of sisterhood and love, I’ve never felt this before.
I joined without expectations and jumped right into it, during the whole time I opened up my hearth more and more, came into the feminine softness and magic happened all over.
Even after 2 months I’m not able to tell all about it without tears rolling over my face..
This was for me a lifechanging week, I feel so much (self) love, trust, strength, space and so much more.
This is just the beginning of remembering who I am………
A deep bow and lots of love for Margo, her great team and all the other beautiful sisters

"Attending the Awakening Women training is changing my life. I have felt this layer of constraint around me. I didn't know how to access my inner wild woman, but she is coming out now and it is glorious! I am coming home to my body, my sensuality, my joy. Coming home to me and coming home in sisterhood.
Margo is awesome at what she does. She creates a safe, loving place where transformations are happening. As a qualified therapist myself, I am very impressed. She is very knowledgeable and attuned . Margo is an authentic awesome woman, whom I feel very blessed to know.
If you feel called to attend to any of her retreats or workshops, do yourself a favor and go"

I got to know Margo around 15 years ago and she changed my life. She is such a beautiful, warm hearted and giving woman. She tought me that it is ok to be a woman, no, that it is fantastic to be a woman. Before i knew her, i thought i had to be like a man. That that is the way to be respected in this world. Now i can truly embrace myself as a woman and feel one and whole with myself. And be respected for that. Thank you Margo Awanata, Love you

Greece
I am still trying to understand how one retreat with Margo Awanata did what 10 years of therapy could not. First I thought it was just the magic and the after glow of the retreat but now, a year later, I still feel the power within me that Margo made me see. I have really transformed my trauma to power. I feel like a different woman. I can not thank you enough Margo. If anybody is still doubting... GO! DO IT! Take that jump. I did...andI was so scared. But here I am.
This retreat also restored my trust in women.Sisters we are so powerful.
Donna James

Margo's insights and way of connecting people have enriched my life enormously. I have had the honour to experience PURE Sisterhood, and I am happy and proud to be part of it. I truly love her.
Netherlands
I allowed myself to follow the path of the Priestess with Margo and it has changed my life and brought me so close to my authentic self.
I experienced Margo as someone with a great eye for the group and what is needed, magically bringing out the best in someone.
She brings movement within you in a loving way. I would recommend working with her to anyone. She is the butterfly effect. And proud to pay it forward.
Netherlands
Margo, You made me believe in Magic.
I crawled, naked, over the earth mother, coffered in dirt, to the sacred water to be blessed by a Priestess. When the water touched my skin I could finally let go of all my stuck emotions. If that is not magical, what is.
I never would have thought I would ever do that, but it felt so sacred and so powerful. Thank you for making me feel so safe that I could really surrender to the moment.
France
"I have hosted and co-facilitated Retreats, but this Retreat was my first one as an attendee, and what an amazing one. Now I am one of Margo’s greatest fans.
I was so impressed with what she has to offer, as well as Margo’s loving and amazing skills. When more than one of my issues surfaced and needed to be processed, I felt supported and nurtured during the process.
I feel that I received exactly what I needed most, and have come home feeling so much stronger and aligned than ever before.
"2 years ago I've been on a retreat with Margo to Crete and it was an amazing journey and very nice first experience with sisterhood work/retreats. Margo is very good at creating a trusting and loving sisterhood with the group, in which everybody is cherished, respected and safe to share their story. With the sisterhood we went to beautiful places on the island where we've done great work. The retreat with Margo helped me to define in what way I want to do feminine work and it is a loving memory that is very dear to me.
Netherlands
Margo creates a deep connection and magic during a training that touches you to the bone. She does not pull back when you are in the dark or feel stuck, she reaches her hand out exactly to where you are.
She knows what to say to you in the moment, so you are willing to take the first step out of your pain and comfort zone.
Her medicine is inclusiveness. What I experienced in Glastonbury brought me to tears and my heart glowed like the sun. She welcomes everyone even people passing by.That has something so loving and healing.
I cannot describe the feeling into words, because it has something so, so special. It touches the core of your heart.
I am very grateful to Margo. She handed me keys on places inside myself where I thought I gave up. Everytime through her words she knew how to wake up life again inside of me. So I regained my own power to take the steps in life and choose myself.
