Grail Kingship Rite
Something rare happened in Ireland last Winter Solstice.
Be part of what comes next.
In December 2025, at Winter Solstice, 12 men from the four corners of the island of Ireland, the UK and Europe, gathered for the return of the Holy Grail.
A rite of passage, conducted annually before the rise of the empires, this auspicious event took place over four days and three nights.
One day for each of the elements to review choices made around the solar wheel in the lead up to the darkest and holy night.
What was unusual about this event is that it was led by a woman, as was the custom in the mystic tradition of the Grail.
The purpose of the rite was to reawaken the sacred masculine – by embodying the solar king who is willing to undergo an ego death and be reborn mid-Winter – the most feminine time on the seasonal wheel and the most perilous time for the male psyche.
It took 9 years to gather men willing to bow to the wisdom of the mystic feminine.
Having anchored its return, we are now inspired to extend the invitation to more men and expand the circle.
This is not just a men’s retreat.
It is a restoration of your birthright; the second rite of passage that once marked a man’s passage from youth to king.
The crown of sovereignty awaits those who are willing and humble enough to own their shadow to become whole and balanced.

Tanishka: Retreat Facilitator
Tanishka was beloved for 11 years as ‘The Moon Woman’ with half a million followers of her daily guidance. An author of six books, she has taught ancient feminine wisdom traditions & practices for 30 years. In 2004, she started working with men, creating male archetypal chart readings to assist men in integrating all 7 masculine aspects within their psyche.
In 2008 she received the message it was time to awaken the Grail codes. This was followed by intuitive downloads that included a Sacred Union series of books & Grail practices for men & women.
In 2011 she started receiving visions to decode the greatest mystery of all time, ‘The Holy Grail’ from the perspective of the sacred feminine. In 2013 she began touring with these teachings drawing on her background as a stand-up comedienne to entertain while captivating audiences with her ability to channel truth as an oracle.
In 2013, she created the 12 Suns Brotherhood Lodge online course, offering a template for men’s circles that align with the solar cycle to support their Hero’s Journey, activated by the sun’s transit around the astrological wheel. This was designed as a counterpart to her women’s circle facilitator training course that trained women in 44 countries. In 2013, she facilitated the Rainbow Bridge retreat for men & women to access & empower the feminine & masculine archetypes that govern the chakras as a foundation for conscious relating. She also ran this event in Bali in 2019, in addition to creating online courses for men and women to activate the meridians of sacred masculine & feminine energy by empowering each of the masculine and feminine archetypes.
In addition to being a popular keynote speaker at conferences, summits and festivals online & live around the world, she writes feature articles for leading women’s and alternative health magazines & conducts online courses, speaking tours & retreats. Her fifth book, ‘Goddess Wisdom’ published by Hay House in conjunction with an online course was released June 2017 and was translated into Chinese, French and Slovenian.
Since 2020, Tanishka has led men’s circles around the world, both online and in 10 countries. She speaks regularly at festivals on how to awaken the sacred masculine and why it is time to reawaken the lost mystic tradition of The Grail, the title of her latest book rated 5 stars on Amazon.
“I used to think the idea of a woman initiating men was emasculating. So I was surprised to receive a vision in 2011 of a past incarnation, where I was initiating men in the forest. This came after an intuitive flash that it was time to activate, ‘the Grail codes’. A year later I was guided to create my first speaking tour with crowdfunding. Shortly before the tour began, I decoded the truth about the Holy Grail, a rite of passage that awakened the stag king, Cernunnos and the King Stag greeted me at my front door! It’s been a long journey since then…but I have persisted, urged on by my ancestors and brothers who have attended my talks. It is with a full heart of gratitude I acknowledge my great, great, great, great, great grandfather, Iolo Morganwg, a Welsh bard and Druid who was passionate about reinstating our rites, stolen by colonialism.”
