Summer Solstice Maltese Temple Quest 2027
17th - 22nd June


"It was such an amazing life-altering experience, so good that I'm going back in 2025 to experience a deeper connection at the Autumn Equinox.
Where do I even begin? It's truly challenging to articulate how extraordinary the entire experience was, from being able to fall apart emotionally with relative strangers that you instinctively knew were going to hold you safely, to being guided through connections to ancient energies at the different Temples that Malta has to offer, to mind-boggling wonderment of chanting in the Hypogeum and sharing space with spirits older than time, it was all just amazing and I highly recommend this Quest to anyone feeling a calling to witness or expand their experiences, or to simply embrace the magic of sound healing and energies."
Sue Jobson MTQ 2024
The retreat runs from 5pm on the 17th June to the 22nd of June until midday.
There is a side to Malta that not everyone knows about. Ancient Temple remains, some of the oldest in the world that carry the energies and history of what used to be a matriarchal society, aligned with the stars and societies that revered women and children and the earth.
As the World awakens and stirs amongst all the violence, destruction, top heavy rule and gaslighting that is now being shown openly; the death throws of a patriarchal, non-sustainable ego-centric, destructive model that has dominated the last few thousand years, the need and longing for a more sustainable, more peace filled, more heart led, children, earth and women centred model is starting to call its song. A visceral stirring, a remembering, a siren call emerging from deep within. The mother that focusses on a symbiotic relationship with compassion and empathy and inner strength, protecting those that are vulnerable and creating flow.
The Maltese Temple Quest will light those embers of remembrance, reconnecting you to that voice of truth, that soul and heart voice, that longing for enduring change within ourselves and for Planet Earth. It will reconnect you to and nurture your sovereign feminine, balancing the masculine. It will unveil and fortify your strengths and your power. It will also allow space for laughter and relaxation, for processing, integration and healing. You will come back feeling lighter, clearer, rejuvenated and having made strong connections and friendships. You may feel more aligned to your vision and may have left some old programming behind, reconnecting to your truth, your voice, your purpose.
And within all of this serious 'work' or development, there needs to be playfulness, laughter and time out. Those of you that have previously experienced my work know that part of my role here is to bring that in, to bring in the humour, the laughter. It is one of the best medicines to raise the vibration ❤
The retreat will be a beautiful exploration of some of the amazing Temples on Malta and we will also have a trip over to Gozo to my favourite Temple, Gigantia. The 2nd oldest standing Temple remains in the World.
Deeply aligned to feminine energies, these Temples and their energies will allow and encourage a healing dive into our own femininity, bringing forth the wisdom and strength that we inherently possess and balancing with softness. We will explore using sound, meditation and tapping into the energies of each site. I encourage you to bring a rattle or your drum.
Many of the Temples were inherently inhabited by Priestesses and their acolytes, I believe in the times when we lived in peaceful matriarchal societies. When I am there, I feel the matriarchal energies very strongly, especially in Gigantia. In this year of the horse, I feel the calling to rekindle this matriarchal way of being as everything we hold dear is being destroyed. Perhaps in our lifetime we will not see the positive changes of a centralised, matriarchal society that puts children and the earth first, but we can surely begin that process and filter it down to our upcoming ancestral lines. For me, my experiences in Malta and Gozo are of a deep spiritual and energetic connection, linking into women that cared for the earth and their societies, the decision makers, the peacekeepers. It has given me and continues to give me strength and aid in the healing of my own feminine wounds and looking more deeply into what and how I can contribute to a more matriarchaly centred world. Indeed, all 7 women that came with us on the first retreat in 2024 had life changing and profound experiences with us and with Malta and Gozo.
Malta in June can be very hot. In light of this, most Temple visits and experiences will be in the mornings until around 1pm and then we will adjourn for the afternoon. In the afternoons, you have free time to sleep, wander around, assimilate or come with me to the beach to swim, cleanse and relax/assimilate/process. I will be very careful not to overload you as it can be intense and we found that people needed the time to digest what they had experienced and to rest. I am not someone that marches you from one thing to another and you come back to the UK exhausted with everything blurring into one! Some people experience deep healing processes during the time on the retreat. My aim is to be as gentle as possible and to allow time for processing.
This is an alcohol and substance free retreat (Apart from if a restaurant owner offers a free digestive! We never say no to gifts.).
Food: A help yourself breakfast will be provided on each day as well as a simple packed lunch on 3 of the days. The other 2 days we will be eating lunch out (individual's cost). Fruit and water will also be provided during our outings. Teas and coffee will be on tap at the accommodation. In the evenings, we will eat together in the accommodation on 3 out of the 5 nights and then you are free on 2 of the nights to go off and eat out in some of the wonderful restaurants.
Accommodation TBC. Sharing a twin room normally.
On the evening of the day we spend sunrise in Imnjdra Temple for Solstice, we will be going to a sacred space I found on some cliffs where I will give you a sound bath and healing through vocables if it aligns. Everyone experienced profound healing and shifts after this. I am sure there used to be something sacred built there or where sacred rituals were performed. It feels like a warm, welcoming coming home for me. I feel like I have performed rituals there before using healing and sound and magik.
Another evening we will visit the ancient city of Rabat and Mdina. It really is beautiful. And on another evening, we will have a circle and do some work an a around what we have experienced so far and end with a channelled meditation.
During our visits to the Temples, I may, depending upon the group and the direction from Spirit and depending upon how busy the Temple is, give you a meditation to help you connect to the Temple and her energies. If I don't give you a mediation, I may give you things to think about as you start connecting.
On the first evening we will have a meal together and you can settle into the accommodation and get to know one another and then an early night's sleep ready for the retreat start in the morning.
My retreats are very connected to what the group needs and what they are working with, so my itinerary and what Spirit want me to bring and to work with depends upon the group and their needs. There is always a theme that runs through every group. I have learnt not to say too much about what we will be doing outside of the Temple and other visits as it depends on you. But work together will be done and healing will happen as will shifts

"This really was a journey of transformation for me! It's difficult to put into words everything that transpired for me. This quest was a beautiful blend of group experience and personal growth, as a mother travelling with out her child, as a wife exploring without her husband as a sista travelling with kin. I learned so much from Faye about my own shamanic practice, making tools for sound baths from the natural world around her. Faye's voice has a way of transporting you to worlds beyond and connecting deeply to the spirits of the land, the women that came before us, walking in their footsteps, feeling into their presence, their purpose.
Visiting those places off the tourist map, where the locals bathe in the cool waters with their families , walking down winding ally ways to local delis to taste the meats and cheeses. I deeply deeply connected to this land to the temples to these women I travelled with, bonds that will last a life time. Memories to treasure forever and a new way of thinking, Almost 6 months later and I'm still integrating, downloading, learning. What a trip!!!!!!!!"

"I felt huge energies ( as did everyone else) there was a feeling of us helping our ancestors heal but also drawing on there energies for us to use for our healings with ourselves and others. There were many personal moments of feeling very powerfully that I had received important guidance and information for my future work. The days were so beautifully planned with the most amazing people in our group to share our experiences with. The time was unforgettable and worth every penny.
If you are feeling a calling then it is because you need to connect with these energies also, you won't regret it."
