Filipa Faustino
Filipa Faustino
Priestess of the Garden of the Hesperides, she guards and honors the legacy of the Goddesses, those who watch over the mysteries of the Soul and the sacred thresholds between worlds.
The Garden, mythical and invisible, is for you both an inner place and a real energy field — a living temple where feminine wisdom, ancestry and the spiraling time of the Earth intertwine in ritual practices, healing and reconnection with the natural divine.
At the same time, in her academic career, she is an archaeologist and researcher of the presence of the Sacred Feminine throughout human history, with a special interest in the role of Women in ancient and recent Prehistory, and in the symbolic expressions of the divine in ritual contexts.
Master's student in Human and Biological Evolution, specializing in archaeological contexts, intertwines science and mystery, crossing archaeological data with a sensitive listening to the traces of spirituality.
Marcelle Bottini,
From a very young age, she was driven by a deep search for something that transcended the visible. A restlessness of the soul that led her to embark on a journey around the world, in search of ancestral, initiatory and spiritual wisdom — studying with masters, guardians of the Earth, spiritual leaders and visionary scientists.
Her journey has taken her from the temples of Egypt, Mexico and Asia, to the sacred forests of Latin America, from the circles of elders of the Sacred Feminine to the classrooms of great contemporary thinkers.
He studied at institutions such as Unipaz, the Institute of the Laws of Time (Brazil), Esalen (California) and the Universidad de la Conciencia (Argentina). Along the way, she integrated ancient knowledge with the advances of modern science, immersed herself in energy activation rituals in places of power, and was initiated into several traditions—including the Enneagram and the Council of Elders of the 13 Moons.
Today, it is recognized as a guardian of ancestral wisdom and a facilitator of profound transformation processes. She conducts ceremonies, mentoring, retreats and experiences in different parts of the world, with the purpose of awakening inner power, activating dormant codes and reconnecting each woman with her soul.
As an oracle and ceremonialist, he helps to make visible what still remains on the subtle plane. Through soul map readings, the Enneagram, Sacred Feminine rituals and sensorially deep and spiritually rooted experiences, it facilitates journeys of healing and awakening.
Your purpose is to be a living emanation of Love.
Their mission is to remind women who they are, heal what needs healing, and together, manifest the beauty and power of the feminine in its highest expression.

She lives in the mountains of Northeastern Italy and is the Guardian Priestess of the Waters of the Northeast.

She participates as a speaker at national and international events, including the Glastonbury Goddess Conference, and it is with great pleasure and honor that she joins the ceremonial group of the Portugal Goddess Conference — because, as she says, she has Iberian DNA running through her veins, which is a deep connection with her ancestors and distant ancestors.
