Hello beautiful souls,

​

If you've found this page it's most likely that you've been to one of my retreats or events in the past. I’ve been asked questions about, “What’s going on with your events and retreats?” and I want to answer that for everyone.

​

Over the past eleven months, my retreats have been placed on pause due to something very practical, yet deeply consuming: a long and unexpectedly extended house build. What was intended to be a grounded new place for my offerings has instead become a landscape of delays, setbacks, problem-solving, and continual adjustment.  This past year has asked far more of me than I could have anticipated—emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. You just don't truly know until you're in it.

​

Everything has been sitting in a limbo state, which isn't a very comfortable place to exist full-time. And yet… within this same stretch of time, something else has been quietly happening. (Ooooo, exciting!)

​

While parts of life have felt like they were being held in limbo, I have been choosing seeds and planting, all the while listening, reworking, and reimagining. The seeds of what is becoming Empowered Priestess have been incubating—gathering strength, clarity, and form in their own timing. Even when nothing looked “productive” from the outside, something was deeply alive underneath it all.

​

I won’t pretend it has been easy. There have been many moments of frustration, exhaustion, tears, and surrender. So many times I’ve been asked to release the timeline I thought I was walking, and yet this, my friend, is life as it actually is—not linear, not tidy, and certainly not obedient to our demands.

​

We often speak about manifestation as if it’s a clean arrival into something new. But what we don’t always prepare for is what it costs to become the version of ourselves who can hold what we are asking for. The timelines that must collapse, the structures that must shift, and the inner landscapes that must be reshaped, so we can actually receive what we desire.

​

There is wisdom in all of it. ​Even in the delays, the uncertainty and in the moments when nothing seems to be progressing—and everything is quietly, irrevocably changing.

 

Change is important; it's what defines our lives. And sure, I get it. It's easy to say when you're not in the throes of it. I want to reframe those moments when change feels awful into what it can be: a gift of becoming more of who we’re meant to be. 

​

So I share this with you not as a story of things being “on hold,” (although yes, everything is on hold right at the moment) but as a story of becoming, and of deeper rooting and unseen preparation, and of a return that will come from a more aligned place than before.

​

Empowered Priestess is blooming. The retreats are still alive.  New things are growing. And what is emerging now carries the imprint of everything this season of life has taught me.

​

As soon as my events start up again, this page will appear differently. I'll also announce it on social media and email.

​

I am grateful you are here with me in the planting, growing and blooming phases.

 

With love,
Cellina Rhiannon
