Malta Women’s Retreat: Explore Sacred Temples & Awaken Your Inner Goddess

Malta: Birthplace of Ancient Goddess Worship

Scholars believe Malta’s temple complexes were built to honour an ancient Great Mother Goddess, representing creation, fertility, death, and rebirth. The most famous artefacts — often called the “Fat Lady” or Venus of Malta — symbolise abundance, womb power, and the creative force of life itself.

In Kundalini traditions, this creative intelligence is known as Shakti energy — the rising serpent of consciousness. When women visit Malta, many report feeling a deep sense of remembrance, womb  activation, emotional release, and deep spiritual connection to mother earth.

This is why Malta is such a powerful location for a spiritual women’s retreat.

Why Malta Is a Powerful Destination for Women’s Retreats

Beyond the temples themselves, Malta sits on powerful ley lines within the Earth’s energetic grid. Ancient civilisations understood these locations as places where cosmic and terrestrial energies meet.

Just as our bodies contain chakras and energy channels, the Earth has power points — and Malta is one of them.

During the Neolithic Temple Period, local priestesses honoured:

• Lunar and solar cycles
• Seasonal rites of passage
• Feminine creation and regeneration
• The sacred intelligence of the Earth

This lineage is still palpable today, making Malta an extraordinary location for Goddess retreats, womb healing journeys, and sacred feminine initiations.

Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum – The Underground Womb of the Goddess

Hidden beneath the modern city lies the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, the only known prehistoric underground temple in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Dating back to 3600 BCE, the Hypogeum is believed to have been a sacred feminine sanctuary. Its famous Oracle Chamber amplifies sound at 111 Hz, sometimes referred to as the “holy frequency,” allowing vibrations to be felt through the body.

This temple housed the Sleeping Lady — a reclining Mother Goddess figure symbolising fertility, death, and the afterlife. Rituals here were deeply connected to:

• Death & Rebirth
• The Sleeping Lady of Malta
• Ancient Feminine Ritual 
• Sound resonance
• Initiation and rebirth

Today, private access to this site is rare, making it one of the most sacred experiences included in a Malta women’s retreat.

Ħaġar Qim & Mnajdra – Temples of the Sun, Moon & Stars

The temples of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra sit dramatically overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Entering these temples was symbolically experienced as entering the womb of the Earth Goddess.

These sacred structures align with:

• Summer and winter solstices
  
• Equinoxes
  
• Solar and lunar cycles

“There is a potent fertility line of energy through the ancient temples of  Ħaġar Qim, a strong connection to the cosmic mother’s womb of creation, that when alighted the womb expands. It’s a potent energy we can work with intent to enrich our heart and womb space with healing.The inner chambers of the temple are womb spaces where man goddess figures where found. Here energy lines are feminine but there is a gentle union of masculine energy which also flows inline and merges.” Kate Jane Wright

Archaeological findings include Goddess figurines with exaggerated feminine forms, celebrating fertility, nourishment, and abundance.

Women visiting these temples often describe profound heart and womb activations, especially during solstice ceremonies — making them ideal locations for women’s spiritual retreats in Malta.

Gozo & Ġgantija – Island of the Great Mother

On the neighbouring island of Gozo, the Ġgantija Temples tell the story of a mighty giantess who built these sacred spaces herself. Archaeologists believe these temples were the heart of a fertility cult and feminine spiritual lineage.

Walking this land, many women experience:

• Heightened intuition
• Emotional release
• A deep sense of ancestral remembrance

Gozo is often described as softer, slower, and deeply nurturing — a perfect complement to Malta for sacred feminine retreats.
