The Wild Heart Retreat - An Embodied Living Experience

ABOUT

WILD HEART, IT’S TIME TO CONNECT TO YOUR TRUE NATURE

Calling the wild women, the artists, the dreamers, the copy-writers, the home-makers, the mothers and the daughters, the cooks, and the bakers, the storytellers, the singers, the dancers, the ad execs, the burnt-out and the burning bright, the painters, the misfits, the nature lovers, the playwrights, the seekers, the storytellers, the lovers, the sinners, and the saints, the lost and the found. This retreat is for the Wild Woman in every woman.

Our story takes place in the heart of Mama Africa, the Wild Coast

This is a place of power and peace. A place where our connection to nature is tangible, tactile, and transcendent. Beauty and abundance as far as the eye can see. Nature is the star of this show.

For seven holy days, no alarms. Only sunrise and sunset. Eleven Women will reset their internal clocks by trusting the circadian and infradian (menstrual) rhythms and allowing Pachamama to hold, guide, and teach. As we map the earth with the souls of our feet, we will map the pilgrimage to our hearts through our bodies. This is a holy act of Sel-love.

For seven Holy days, we will live surrendered to the elements, surrendered to Flow, and surrendered to Source.

As we return to our roots and our hearts, we return to ourselves. We use embodiment practices, nature, story, movement, and breath in conjunction with the archetypes of Maiden, Mother, Creatrix, and Crone, collective prayer, and the symbolism stored deep in humanity’s subconscious to till the ground of our being and encourage the fruit of our hearts to blossom and bloom. We will inspire each other into Life!
