Retreat Description

 

Awaken the Wild Within

 

This retreat calls forth women who yearn to reconnect with their elemental nature and inner wisdom. Nestled among the majestic redwoods of Northern California, “Witches In The Woods” weaves together a tapestry of practices—Yoga, Dance, and Meditation—to guide participants into deeper alignment with their body, heart, and soul. Here, the forest becomes a living temple, offering solace, inspiration, and fertile ground for renewal.

 

Ritual, Sisterhood, and Soulful Expression

 

Guided by seasoned facilitators who blend somatic arts, intuitive movement, and ancient ceremonial traditions, this gathering invites participants to reclaim their power and step boldly into their own magic. Through Creative Movement sessions, Nature Play, and Group Sharing Circles, women are encouraged to show up fully as they are—vulnerable, curious, and open-hearted. Daily rituals, including a Fire Ceremony, stir the cauldron of personal transformation, illuminating old patterns and freeing the path toward authenticity.

 

Embodying the Witchy Essence

 

This experience nurtures a sacred space where women can honor the witch within—an archetype that symbolizes wisdom, liberation, and spiritual depth. Inspired by ancestral practices and guided by the elements, participants will engage with Witchery of All Sorts: breathwork, spellcraft, heart-centered movement, and intentional presence. Through these elemental journeys, they’ll learn to harness nature’s rhythms, cultivate self-trust, and invite greater alignment between their inner landscape and the world around them.

 

Nourishment, Play, and Connection

 

Each day unfolds with nourishing meals, thoughtfully prepared to support physical vitality and emotional well-being. Between structured sessions, participants are free to rest, reflect, or meander through the forest, soaking up its healing beauty. Evening gatherings may involve music, gentle rhythms of the drum, or silent contemplation under starry skies. Whether dancing barefoot on the forest floor or whispering intentions to the rising moon, every moment is designed to reaffirm life’s enchantments and remind attendees that they are not alone in their journey.
