"It’s time to embody and express from your wild soul ~ the part of you that knows you are one with rivers, forests, and mountains. To break free of the fears and cages that hold you back. To experience yourself and the Earth as the powerful, embodied Feminine."
"Our Wild Soul Woman community is as strong as a mountain range and as silent and truthful as a sunbeam." - Katie Lloyd Nunn, participant of A Wild Soul Woman 2022
The Course
Are you ready to unleash your creative, passionate and authentic self in service of living and giving more fully?
During this three-day retreat you will take a feminine journey of initiation into the deepest aspects of your untamed soul through Five Earth Archetypes:
Desert Woman: Barren Worlds
Enter the Barren Worlds of Desert Woman to shed what is no longer working in your life.
Forest Woman: The Dark Womb
The Dark Womb of Forest Woman to incubate the seeds of your dreams.
Ocean and River Woman: The Waters Break
Ride the waves of your longings in the breaking waters of Ocean and River Woman.
Mountain Woman: Giving Birth
Give birth to your fullness Mountain Woman.
Grassland Woman: Nurturing the Newborn
Nurture Your Rewilded Self as Grassland Woman..
Over thousands of years a patriarchal society has perfected the art of holding WOMAN back. But that system has run its course.
Now we root ourselves in a far more ancient way of being—the natural wisdom that arises from the Earth herself, and that lives and breathes within each of us, waiting to be awakened.
This initiation is feminine, instinctual, embodied, and Earth-conscious––infused with poetry (read and written), ritual, nature connection, visualisations, journaling, meditation, and movement.
Making the most of the beautiful grounds of Hawkwood, we’ll explore its woodlands and ancient springs as we dive deeply into our own wild inner landscapes in search of true purpose and passion.
Until we learn to be a little less tame, a little less obedient, we will never live from the heart of our true nature and the richness of our wild, unstoppable souls ...
