Return to the Temple

Artemis High Priestess Remembrance 2026
Santa Fe  with Vijali Hamilton, Mary Rockwood Lane, and Lisa Rasmussen
​
Beloved Powerful Sister of the Artemis Sacred Circle,

We are gathering again. A reunion of destiny. To amplify our light. To shine as luminous stars until we become a constellation blazing across the heavens.
This is the moment. In an age of upheaval, chaos, and sacred opportunity, Artemis calls us home. We are summoned to rise together — to lead from the deep well of intuition, creativity, and connection. The Divine Feminine is awakening, and her song will not be silenced. That song is in you. And the circle cannot be complete without your voice.

Dates: September 23 – 28, 2026

Full Moon Ceremony: September 26, 2026
Location: Synergia Ranch Retreat Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico 

A Living Temple Experience
Here, in the Geodesic Dome, the Dance Studio, and the Yurt, we will circle as sisters — guided by spirit animals, ancestors, the devic kingdom, and the whispers of nature spirits.

During this sacred Artemis High Priestess Remembrance you will experience:

• Art making as prayer and embodiment
• Yoga, meditation, and breathwork to awaken the body temple
• Ritual at Vijali’s World Wheel, earth art linking us to the heartbeat of the planet
• Cacao ceremony to open our hearts and deepen our connection
• Tea ceremony to awaken stillness, reverence, and presence
• Harmonia Practice, weaving movement, journaling, mandala creation, and essential oils
• Mask making as sacred play and initiation into archetypal power
• Stargazing under desert skies, listening for cosmic messages
• Spirit animal journeys and ancestral blessings woven into our circles
• Earth mandalas created with natural offerings to honor Gaia
• Sacred site pilgrimages, honoring the Pueblo Indigenous traditions that root this land
• Full Moon celebration, invoking Artemis to guide our arrows of truth
  
  

Synergia Ranch is not just a venue. It is an ecological and cultural sanctuary, its orchards and wild spaces alive with the flight of over a hundred migratory birds — messengers of the unseen realms.

This is not just a retreat. It is a living temple, a reunion of High Priestesses, a remembering of who we truly are.

And it is calling you.

​Bonus Magic: Synergia Ranch is just 30 minutes from the heart of historic Santa Fe — a soulful city pulsing with art, color, and enchantment. Wander adobe streets that feel like living poetry, shop treasures crafted by local hands, and let your spirit be stirred at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, where desert dreams bloom on canvas! You can also explore the New Mexico Museum of Art with its Pueblo-Revival beauty, journey up to Museum Hill for sweeping views and sculpture gardens, and stroll the legendary Canyon Road, a half-mile pilgrimage lined with over a hundred galleries and studios. Feel the contemporary pulse of the Railyard Arts District, alive with creative fire, and be moved by Indigenous voices at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. All of it unfolds in the Downtown Arts and Museum District, where every corner is a living tapestry of art, culture, and soul.

Dear Empowered Women,

We would love to fully extend a warm invitation to you, please join us for our 2nd Annual Artemis Sacred Journeys Retreat. Our integrative Retreat is a rich and empowering journey of reverence to the Divine Feminine in all that is. We as a group dive deep into a transformative sacred experience, through sacred sites, nature, art, yoga, ritual, archetypes, history, local cuisines, community, and so much more.
 
This year our Retreat is refining and expanding as we continue to explore the many faces of the Goddess, which reveal HER self through the stellar gifts and talents of all those who become part of our Sisterhood. Included in Artemis Sacred Journeys is the anchor of our founding circle. Which consists of the amazing and powerful Priestess’s that attended our Retreat in 2017.
 
As well as this year we will have a special Guest, Artist, and High Priestess~ Vijali Hamilton. She is a visionary sculptor, poet, musician, performance artist, and author is the originator of the World Wheel, Global Peace Through the Arts. In 1986, Vijali traveled to 12 sites around the world creating earth sculptures and performance ceremonies with the local communities. Tinos was one of the 12 sites from the first World Wheel circle.
 
Vijali said, “Last night, I actually shed tears with the thought of returning to Tinos. To return to the Tinos' sacred earth. I can hardly wait to put my feet in the sea and hands on the stones again. I do want to paint again with others the serpent as a prayer and ceremony to reawaken the Shakti Serpent power, not only within each one of us, but into the world at this time of forgetfulness.”
 
Thirty years later Vijali is returning to Tinos Greece. Together we will do ceremony with Vijali, evoke the elements,the nature spirits, the Goddess, and repaint her Serpent sculpture. Our 9 day itinerary is filled with the magic of rediscovering and honoring the Divine Feminine within your Self?

It would be so incredible if you would join our Sacred Circle. Last years experience was truly an epic and enchanting treasure! HERE is the link to more details about the Retreat. Let me know what questions arise.
 
With Magic and Light!
 
Namaste, Lisa and Mary
