DETAILS
There are places in the world where it feels like 𝔪𝔞𝔤𝔦𝔠 exists in every corner. Rome is one of them. Beneath its churches sleep forgotten temples. Beneath marble saints stand older gods. Beneath the ancient empire lives another story entirely. Across centuries, Rome has become a living palimpsest. Pagan sanctuaries became holy churches. Ancient goddesses were clothed in new names. Sacred wells, stars, serpents, roses, keys, labyrinths, and celestial architecture continued to reveal themselves to those willing to look beneath the surface.
This Winter Solstice, we gather once again in the Eternal City to follow the hidden threads woven through myth, sacred art, ancient temples, forgotten goddesses, mysticism, astrology, and the enduring mysteries of the feminine. We will ask not only what we are seeing, but why these symbols have endured. What have they carried across centuries? What wisdom still waits beneath the surface for those willing to look more deeply?
Throughout the weekend, we will move through Rome to explore the ancient streets, stand where priestesses once tended sacred flame, contemplate masterpieces that conceal layers of symbolism, and practice seeing beyond what first meets the eye.
Together, Desirée Pais, Birjiwan Kaur, and Rose Theodora, invite you to a weekend devoted to wonder, mystery, magic and devotion.
