Who is this experience for?
This experience is for women of all ages and backgrounds that are ready to connect in a community of powerful heart-centered women. This is a magical opening to experience a greater sense of belonging and relationship with the wild world around you, refine and grow your ancestral skills and feed the wild woman within.
We are calling upon the women who are willing to say yes to new challenges and ready for an adventure!
Celebrate the beauty of life and womanhood by learning earth-based skills such as fire making, weaving, and herbal medicine making. Connect to your inner wise woman in our steam lodge and moon ceremonies.

During our time together we will focus on learning bushcraft skills, mindful yoga, conscious dance and self-development exercises that you can continue using on your journey of self-discovery.

Conscious movement
We will be moving our bodies in various different ways. Whether in our yoga studio or playing with the elements outside, moving in wild and wonderful ways.
Embodied movement is an integral part of this experience as it is through this that we open our hearts, release tension and let energy flow, creating space for us to go deeper.
Some of the types of movement we will play with:
* vinyasa and hatha yoga
* dancing through the elements
* conscious dance journeying
* barefoot walking








fabric alchemy: batik and eco printing
We will be working with natural plant fibres and plant material to create beautiful fabrics with the colours of nature.
Batik is a process where selected areas of the cloth are blocked out by brushing or drawing hot wax over them, and the cloth is then dyed. The parts covered in wax resist the dye and remain the original colour. This process of waxing and dyeing can be repeated to create more elaborate and colourful designs. After the final dyeing the wax is removed and the cloth is ready.
Eco printing is a process of transferring colour from plant material onto a cloth by boiling or steaming fabric. This produces a beautifully earthy and organic finished product








Self-development workshops
Embrace your self and reclaim your power with the tools shared during our empowerment workshops.
Speak your truth and bare witness to others doing the same, acknowledging and befriending your deepest desires, fears and joys in a safe lovingly held space.
The tools shared in these workshops is sure to release your inner wise woman, bringing you into alignment with the meaningful life you are here to live.








Wild food foraging
Discover the world of wild foods and how to sustainably and responsibly forage.
Learn how to identify certain weeds and how to prepare them properly.
Wild plant food is one of the most vibrational raising ways to reconnect with nature. Intuitively foraging for wild foods can help foster a much more sustainable way of life. Wild foods require no packaging; cause no pollution and they don’t require the harmful, man made chemicals that are found in commercial farming. Most, if not all, wild edible foods are packed full of vitamins and minerals that far surpass any cultivated varieties of fruit and vegetables.
Enjoy the day foraging, prepping and creating a wildly delicious meal together as we gather in circle and cook over an open fire, and feast until our hearts content as dusk turns into night.








Sister circles
On retreat we make sure to make time for sharing circles. Checking in with the group to see what has come up for anyone, who would like to speak their truth and allowing others to do the same. Our circles might be held in the studio, outside by the lake or around a fire, where we will connect, sing and share myths to feed the wild woman within.
