About your trip

Journey to the edge of the sea - a place of initiation, a threshold shaped by wind, weather and time. Find here where the Wise Woman waits - whole, unsentimental, fiercely alive and carrying the authority of her experience.

A pilgrimage for women who feel the call to welcome their own wise woman within. Through myth, guided writing and shared reflection, we will encounter the Cailleach, the Crone, Baba Yaga, Hecate and Hestia, listening closely for the wisdom about the art of letting go and finding your authenticity.

You don't need to be a writer but, with a love of stories, you will be invited to write your own personal myth - will it be a story of finding your intuition, your quest for wholeness of what it's like to stand at that crossroads. This is a retreat for women ready to stand at the threshold, feel the weather of their lives and write from their deep wholeness
