HIRAETH
BELTANE RITE OF PASSAGE
COR RETREAT
The Primordial Dragon Hills of Cymru
Friday 14th - Monday 17th May 2027
Dearest Sister…
“May you rest your entire Being here within the Silence of the Souls Mystery, may you take a Sacred Breath. May the longing you feel, the ache that you sometimes cannot describe, to reunite with a dream and simultaneous memory come Truly Alive. May I ask you to revere your Soul-Body as a Living Prayer and remember the place inside yourself where you are closest to God.”
Hiraeth cannot be put into words as it takes us beyond into the vast unknown and unexplored horizon of the Eternal Soul. What I shared above is something I wrote for our Fire Of Love journey. And it is that same longing and ache to simultaneously reunite with a dream and memory that Sounds the Sacred Invitation and Ancient Soul Calling to Hiraeth…
Hiraeth (Welsh) A Souls deep yearning and bittersweet longing for a home which maybe never was. It is nostalgia for ancient places and memories that we cannot return. It is the echo of the lost places of our Souls past and our grief for them. It is in the wind, the rocks and the waves. It is nowhere and it is everywhere.
The Truth of our Origins lies within the Land in this part of Wales, it has remained untouched and it has preserved something that Hiraeth awakens… a deep Remembrance, Love and Belonging that is unique to every Soul…
Trust me when I say I know this Land. When I wrote that last line I felt Her… The Dragon Guardian… And my Heart broke open with Tears of Gratitude in my Eyes… For the Land knows me too… I am absolutely honoured to be your Guide and that the Land Trusts Me… And I Trust that the Land will Hold You Too, like She has for Me, through All Seasons and Many Lifetimes…
For the times we are traversing call on us to Truly Be Together, within Resonant Connection and Community. There is a Great Power in the Recreation and Reunion of the Cor and our Guardianship of the Eternal Flame. There is a Great Remembrance in Women coming together to Remember Who God Originally Created us To Be, to Support One another’s Souls, and Let Ourselves Be Truly Seen. You are Summoned to Birth More of Your Eternal Flame.
For it is time to participate in your Rite Of Passage and Stoke the Sacred Fires of Beltane for your Heart, Soul-Body and Life-Force… It is time to unite with the Blossoming Rebirth of the Radiant Wild&Holy Feminine Beauty and Organic Living Pulse of Mother-Father God’s Creation…
This is a Rite Of Passage for walking The Way, which calls forth the the totality of our Fire Of Love Journey and invitation to Remember more through Lived Gnosis the Original Essence of Malkootah - God’s Kingdom and Queendom.
THE ORIGINAL SHIRE…
There are places you touch on this vast Earth that take your breathe away, they tug on the heart strings, the land sings a familiar song and they part the mist to reveal secret mysteries that your Soul came to know… So I invite you to the Original Shire.. A place within Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park) A place Tolkien loved and spent many years of his childhood.. discovering the Elven Ones, Middle Earth and Elemental Kingdoms of this Dragon Land… He gave Welsh-inspired names to many characters and places in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’…
BELTANE RITE OF PASSAGE…
Sunday 16th May
As you know this is not a regular retreat. It is a sacred invitation to physically receive your Rite Of Passage ceremony. Where there will be flower crown creating, bardic storytelling, poetry, song, dance, sacred oaths, eternal flame guardianship and sacred fire ceremony…
Y TY - THE HOUSE…
A 16th Century Welsh Large Stone Cottage, with stunning views of the Emerald Rolling Dragon Hills and Castle Tower.

Offering a luxurious, unique, cozy and homely stay… It has been chosen specifically for connection and creativity at the hearth of our stay…

TEITHIO - TRAVEL
THE EXACT ADDRESS WILL BE GIVEN CLOSER TO THE ARRIVAL TIME.
THE CLOSEST TRAIN STATION AND TOWN IS ABERGAVENNY IN WALES. THE LOCATION IS ROUGHLY A 25 MINUTE DRIVE FROM ABERGAVENNY TRAIN STATION. THE CLOSEST VILLAGE IS CRICKHOWELL. TOLKIEN BASED THE NAME OF THE HOBBIT SETTLEMENT CRICKHOLLOW IN THE LORD OF THE RINGS ON THIS WELSH VILLAGE.
THE NEAREST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS BRISTOL. HOWEVER THERE ARE REGULAR DIRECT TRAINS FROM LONDON AIRPORTS TO NEWPORT WHERE YOU WOULD CHANGE FOR A SHORT TRAIN TO ABERGAVENNY.
LEGENDS, LLANGORSE, LADY OF THE LAKE & LORD OF THE RINGS…
Croeso I Gymru, Gwlad Duwiau…Welcome to Wales, God’s Country.
There is a reason why Wales has always been God’s Country, where we feel the union of the Heavenly Hymns and Primordial Passion Sing through the Land. The Land sure does Sing, in the protected and pure places it has retained its Harmonic Structure. This is deeply precious as this Land holds Fertile Seeds of Christos, The World-Soul and our Edenic Origins. This also means the thin places offer Remembrance of Avalon, Albion and Original Creation.
Even though we are only together for a short time it is my intention that we ritualistically venture to Llangorse Lake known as Lake Syfaddan which is largest natural lake in South Wales. It is situated next to an Ancient Celtic Christian Site. The Lake also holds Legends connected to the Great Flood, Ice Age, King Arthur and Lady of the Lake…
Perhaps more significantly we can feel the Primordial Force of our Original Mother Sophia and her Living Waters among a Mythical Ancient Landscape that supports the Sacred Expansion of the Soul-Body during the Explosive Dragon-Winged Power of Beltane.

HIRAETH
My heartache is like the rippling tide
Of leaves falling from the faery tree
All my pain flows into my dreams
From abandoned land & skies
And I’m crying from the feeling
Because it is so beautiful
Cradling my scattered heart
Setting everything free
This magical untouched land is me

Meet your Sister…
Alize Lily Mathea
Usually this is where the “bio” goes, but I am sure you know me much beyond a bio now. Which is truly the most ancient gift to my Soul. Yes I am a Teacher, Guide, Priestess, an Oracle and Dragon Mother.. but most importantly I am Human, I am a Woman, I am a Mother, I am a Daughter and I am your Sister.
I am extremely devoted to this Rite Of Passage for us all, more so than any other offering I have created. For numerous reasons but mainly because it is truly God’s Will Ordained and I have not walked this deeply with anyone before, which means I consider you all as family. Therefore I have Radical Faith and Conviction that what I will offer myself to create and retrieve an Embodied Soul Memory of Mother-Father Gods Kingdom/Queendom and help to restore more of your Souls Sovereignty, Purpose, Liberation, Power and True Nature. That will spark sacred ripple effects for an entire lifetime.
TESTIMONIALS…
“Journeying with Alize is otherworldly. She is the most deeply integrated, Divine Feminine embodiment guide I’ve ever had the pleasure to be mentored by, held by and in sacred sisterhood with. She holds the most powerful, potent space for you as you align and come into communion with your soul again. In just the past few months of being in her energy (which seems like a lifetime!), I have received such a beautiful a womb healing, have healed sister wounds from lifetimes past, stepped into more aligned soul embodiment and activated parts of me that I’d shamed for decades. Her radical surrender to the Goddess can be felt when you are in ceremony with her and the rose sisters. It’s truly an honour to know Alize in this lifetime and I am beyond grateful for what is to unfold from here on. Love always!”
- MICHELLE, USA (MENTORSHIP)
“Alize holds such loving impeccable space. The magic of these gatherings and teachings are so filled with and embody LOVE. These teachings are so filled with heart, soul, and love for the earth and honouring of feminine and masculine energies as well as for one another. I felt so deeply seen and heard- which is such a true gift. What a blessing to be reconnected with my heart, with the mysteries of the rose, and love. Alize and her voice, her heart, her offerings are a pure gift!”
- DAWNA, USA (PRIESTESS SCHOOL)
“Alize takes me to a place that no other healer has. You can feel her pure devotion to what she practices. Her lived experience and whole-hearted learning shines through as she curates a journey that takes you into yourself, and she holds a supportive space with a sense of passion that underpins all that she does.”
- GEN, AUSTRALIA (MENTORSHIP)
“Alize’s divine embodiment as Rose Priestess is what magnetised me towards the space that she creates. During the 8 week rose priestess course I got to dive much deeper into rose essence than ever before. Words don’t do it justice. Alize creates such a pure, clear and deep space. I am able to soothe my nervous system and fully feel both connected and supported. During the 8 weeks I formed a deep connection with my own heart, womb and God which has changed my life already, and I sense it is just the beginning of where the way of the rose will take me. I am forever grateful for Alize’s wisdom, gentleness, grace, and power, and for this initiation. I feel empowered to lead in this lifetime now.”
