Return to the Wild: a gathering for women ready to go deeper in their wild, transformative journey.
A deeper, wilder gathering for women ready to move beyond initiation and into full embodiment—to step into their power, pleasure, and authenticity.
Gather in a remote, off-grid sanctuary. The waves crashing against the cliffs. The warm earth beneath your feet. The salty ocean breeze tangling in your hair as you move freely—untamed, alive, and in your power.
You have already begun this work.
You have felt the call—to listen, to unravel, to expand. To heal, unlearn, and remember who you are.
Now, the invitation is to return.
Not to where you were, but to who you are becoming.
This retreat is for:
꩜ Women who have attended past retreats and are ready to deepen their journey.
꩜ Women who have never attended a retreat but have been doing the work—who have been peeling back the layers, listening to their inner knowing, and are ready to step into a space of deep transformation.
This is a gathering for those who are ready to take the next step.
If you feel the pull—trust it.
If you are unsure whether this space is for you, reply to share your interest and we can exchange messages or have a connection call to see if this retreat is for you.
This venue is your haven to immerse yourself back into nature.

We will gather in a remote, off-grid retreat space on the wild west coast of Portugal. A place where the land meets the sea, where the cliffs stand tall, and where silence holds its own kind of wisdom.
This retreat is a continuation of your journey—a space where we don’t begin at the surface, but instead, move deeper into the body, the psyche, and all the parts of ourselves we have suppressed through conditioning, people pleasing and shame.
꩜ Sacred Circle & Rituals – on the astrological date of Lughnasa, the harvest festival of the Celtic Wheel, we will gather —just as our ancestors once did. Through embodiment practices, rituals, and deep integration work, we will honour ancient heritage and weave its wisdom into our modern lives.
🌙 Lunar Magic - under the Aquarius Full Moon, we will gather for a powerful full moon ceremony. This is the era of Aquarian women—visionaries, changemakers, and wayshowers. Together, we anchor this new way of being into our bodies, our systems, and our lives—expanding confidently into all that we are becoming.
🌿 Wild Nature Immersion – Time in the elements—ocean, wind, earth—to learn and experience deep connection with the land and yourself
🔥 Feminine Wisdom & Shadow Work – Exploring the dark feminine, wild woman mythology and stories, the Celtic Wheel, and the unseen forces that shape us.
💃 Movement & Liberation – Dance, somatic practices, singing, chanting and deep body listening to unlock what is ready to be expressed.

This is a space to be witnessed. To be held. To be transformed.
