We can all feel the effect of trauma or stress in our body at times and some of us hold it in there for months\, or even years. \nHealing stress or trauma in the body is a way to overcome physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual pain\, allowing you to realign your life for greater happiness\, health\, emotional balance and personal success. \nWe can’t think our way out of trauma or stress; it is held in the body\, not the mind. So\, feeling our way out of it using Movement\, Mindfulness\, Breathwork\, and our body’s language\, can be helpful. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Deepen Your Practice\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vagus Nerve Stimulation Techniques\n \n \n \n \n \n When we are triggered and in fight or flight\, stimulating the vagus nerve is a great way to reset and help us re-centre and re-balance\, reducing anxiety\, stress\, anger and creating peace back in the body. \nThe vagus nerve acts to counterbalance the fight or flight system and can trigger a relaxation response in our body. It is one of the cranial nerves that connect the brain to the body. When this nerve is activated our physiological response is to reset; reset our heart rate\, breathing rate\, and blood pressure and as a result\, we may reduce feelings of anxiety\, anger\, and stress\, and in turn\, this may have a positive effect on our mind\, mood\, digestion and immune response. \n \n \n \n \n \n Mindfulness and Movement\n \n \n \n \n \n We will use the bodywork to release any trapped energy that might be stored in the body by powerful emotions experienced from trauma or everyday emotions like anger\, fear or anxiety. \n \n \n \n \n \n Somatics\n \n \n \n \n \n Somatics enhances human function and body-mind integration through movement awareness. We move because it feels good rather than goal orientation and this allows us to get to know our own body on a deeper level. We learn to listen to what our body is communicating to us. \nTools we will use – meditation\, mindfulness\, breathwork\, and bodywork. \nI also use a guided journey into a deeper somatic awareness\, working through the 5 layers of the human form – physical\, breath\, energy\, emotional and intuitive body. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Join Us for a Transformative ExperienceDon’t miss this opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

It’s a call to walk barefoot in nature\, to kindle fires\, beat drums\, create magick\, heal\, howl\, and grow. Together\, we will rekindle the inner flame through the kinship of the wild feminine\, through sisterhood\, and through deep connection with Nature. \nWe all hear the divine feminine stirring within us. Some may have forgotten her name\, but she continues to move and inspire us. This retreat is a sacred invitation to gather as sisters\, friends\, and women to answer that call. \nStep away from the noise and return to the sacred rhythm of the Earth. Awaken the Wild is a soul-nourishing weekend retreat for women ready to reconnect with their primal essence – their Shakti energy – the same creative life force found in the trees\, the rivers\, the birdsong\, and the breath of the land itself. \nTogether\, we’ll gather in wild nature to drum\, move\, rest\, and remember. This is a journey back to your roots\, to the ancient knowing that lives in your bones. Through time-honoured rituals\, shared stories\, sacred fire\, and deep connection\, we’ll listen for the whispers of our ancestors and the old ways that pulse quietly in our blood. This retreat is a celebration of feminine power\, nature’s wisdom\, and the wild beauty that lives within you. \nNew Venue\nWe are excited to be moving to a truly special place\, where there are a variety of unique spaces that we can gather\, connect\, and honour the sacred. Surrounded by nature\, it invites us to find harmony both within ourselves and with the land\, creating space to reconnect with our true essence. \nThe land here is deeply respected and held in relationship\, with practices that honour its guardians and keep us rooted in balance with the elements – Air\, Earth\, Water and Fire. It is a place where the feminine and masculine are celebrated\, where re-wilding is part of the vision\, and where we are reminded of our innate connection to the cycles of nature. \n This sacred space offers the perfect opportunity to connect – or reconnect – with your wild\, untamed self. Come and sit in ritual with us.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Included\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Sacred drum circle around the fire \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Ancient rituals and sacred ceremonies \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Barefoot walking and Woodland resetting \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Dancing\, singing and chanting \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Sound healing \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Sharing circles \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Yoga\, nature walks\, foraging and creating magickal items\, somatics\, breathwork & meditation \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n And more… \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ALSO \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Vegetarian breakfast\, lunch\, and dinners \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n All tea\, coffee\, water\, and juice \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Z\n \n \n Toilets and hot water showers \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Food\nNourish your body with delicious\, simple\, homemade vegetarian meals and snacks.

It can also mean stepping away from the busyness of day-to-day life slowing down\, relaxing\, and unwinding. \n \n \n \n \n \n We would love to come to a retreat but we are not sure we want to participate in all that is on offer\, is this ok?\n Absolutely\, of course\, we would love you to join us throughout the whole programme but we understand that the whole programme is so varied that all activities may not interest everyone. Bring your partner\, even if he/she doesn’t enjoy yoga or walking or fancies a natural spa\, as we have so much more on the programme that we will be sure to cater for every person at some point. We also understand that sometimes you just need time to reflect\, rest or assimilate – feel free and rejoin us when you are ready. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What is your cancellation policy?\n  At the time of booking\, if it is 10 weeks before the arrival date\, then you pay a deposit of 25% of the total price. This deposit is non-refundable. We require full payment 6 weeks before the start date of the retreat\, and you cancel up to 6 weeks before the start date for a refund minus 25% of the total price. No refunds after this time.  \n \n \n \n \n \n I have special dietary requirements\, will this be catered for?\n Yes\, of course\, please let us know at the time of booking so that we can cater for you and your needs. All well-being retreats are vegetarian unless stated\, the reason for this is because\, in yoga philosophy\, one of the 8 limbs of yoga is Ahimsa\, which means love and non-harming to all beings including animals. So in the spirit of yoga\, we will only provide vegetarian food\, and we ask all attendees to honour this while on retreat.
