From Darkness Into The Light

A new phase is upon you - one of hope, glory, light and triumph.

a new consciousness within you,
is born.

DIVINE GODDESS ISIS HAS A SPECIAL BOND WITH WOMEN
Isis is one of the most revered and enduring goddesses of the ancient world. Originating in Ancient Egypt, she embodies the essence of divine feminine power, intuitive, resilient, nurturing, and transformative.
Often called the “Great Mother” and “Queen of Magic,” Isis represents a woman who knows her strength and uses it with wisdom and compassion. Her story is not one of ease, but of devotion, courage, and deep inner knowing.
According to myth, Isis was the wife of Osiris, who was betrayed and killed by his brother Set. Rather than surrender to grief, Isis embarked on a sacred journey, searching tirelessly for the scattered pieces of Osiris. Through her determination and magical power, she restored him long enough to conceive their son, Horus.
Isis teaches us that even in our deepest loss, we carry the power to gather ourselves back together. She reminds us that healing is not passive, it is an act of devotion.
Isis is also a protector and healer. She was believed to know the secret names of the gods, giving her access to hidden knowledge and the ability to bring transformation where it seemed impossible. In this way, she invites us to reconnect with our own intuition, the quiet voice within that knows the way forward.
For women, Isis represents the sacred balance between softness and strength. She is both mother and magician, lover and leader, grieving woman and creator of life. She does not deny her pain, she transforms it.
Invoking Isis can be a powerful reminder:
That your story, no matter how fragmented, can be made whole again
That your intuition is a form of wisdom worth trusting
That love, especially self-love, is a force of creation
That within you lies the ability to heal, to rise, and to begin again
To connect with Isis is to remember that you are not powerless in the face of life’s challenges. You are the one who gathers, restores, and rebirths.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
We warmly invite you to honor your body, connect with your soul essence, and step into your divine power through transformative practices such as:
Embodied yoga
Shamanic ceremonies
Sacred cacao medicine
Journal prompts
Conscious dance
Sound healing
Divine feminine teachings
Goddess feast at Moonstone Beach

Victoria is a shamanic healing practitioner, professional Tarot reader, and circle facilitator with roots in Sweden and the US. After finding love overseas, Victoria relocated to the beautiful red rock desert of Zion National Park where she married American singer/songwriter Dave Tate.
It was on this new journey of self-discovery and transformation that she was introduced to shamanism and the healing effects of the natural environment.
Victoria graduated from the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Apprenticeship Program – Peruvian Shamanic Arts For Personal And Planetary Renewal - in 2014. This in-depth two year cross-cultural program led by respected teachers Don Oscar Miro-Quesada and Bonnie Glass-Coffin, Ph.D. emphasizes personal healing as a necessary preparation for client work.

Mother of Eliot, active member of Central Coast spiritual community, Victoria has a private healing practice in Los Osos and teaches the ancient medicine ways of Peruvian and core shamanism through local healing circles and retreats. Driven by a long standing passion for guiding people to connect with their soul mission and unique strengths, she is a passionate believer in that restoring balance to ourselves, our communities, and our beloved Earth is the most potent medicine of our times.

ILLUMINATION & EMBODIED DEVOTION
The goddess Isis calls you to step into your divine power. She offers her wisdom and guidance to support you through this time of spiritual growth and transformation. She invites you to shine, to embody your radiant, powerful, and wise self.
Through life’s challenges, she teaches the strength of love, compassion, and inner resilience. She reminds you not to let negativity, jealousy, or fear diminish what is sacred within you. Her journey is one of healing, wisdom, and empowerment and she shares these gifts with you now.
Embrace her guidance, rise in your strength, and become the radiant presence you are meant to be in this world.
Held in the fertile embrace of summer, we celebrate life, sisterhood, the sensual and the sacred. It is time to bloom, to connect, and to return to your radiant heart center.
Together, we call ourselves home, through dance, yoga, cacao, sound healing, shamanic ceremonies and divine feminine teachings.
We welcome the fullness of life and fall into our most genuine expression of Self.
