self-expression. Whether new to yoga and dance or experienced in these
practices, attendees will find a nurturing environment that invites personal
discovery and collective empowerment.
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.
