Athena 

Founder & Lead Teacher, Temple of Solomon Retreats

Athena brings over 36 years of spiritual practice and teaching experience to Temple of Solomon Retreats. Their journey began in a far too haunted house on the sunshine coast of British Columbia,  Canada.  Leading to deep study of Theosophy very early in life, then the study and practice of magic once she came of age.

 

 

After a vision quest, then again during the Abramelin working years later, Athena was called to create a sacred retreat space where seekers could connect deeply with nature, divine energies, and their own inner wisdom.

Known for her no nonsense approach, Athena creates transformative experiences that balance traditional wisdom with accessible, contemporary approaches. Their teaching style emphasizes practical and effective methodology.
