We handcraft our boutique retreats to celebrate the rhythms of nature and the chance to connect to our true selves.
Your Retreat Guides - Beth & Vanessa
Our retreats allow you to pause, to breathe, to explore and to expand. With life at such a hectic pace, we can often lose sight of who we are; of our true nature.
Our retreats offer you the time and space to connect, trust your inner voice and allow your authentic self to be seen and celebrated.
Journey with us as we explore ways to bring ritual, reverence and simplicity to our lives. Through yoga, dance, meditation, nature, creativity and connection, we step away from the masculine rigidity of our society and embody the fluid nature of womankind.
We believe in the power of being real. Know that these retreats are always authentic and from the heart.
We create a space for freedom of expression, for moments of pure joy and of deep peace. A chance to relax, reconnect and let go.
A Wild Stillness Retreat is one that stays with you. That grows you. That honours who you are.
That offers transformation to last far beyond one weekend.

How we work
Our work is inspired by our many teachers and our commitment to always keep learning and growing as facilitators.
We create each Wild Stillness Retreat to honour the wholeness of who you are and support your reclamation of self-care so you can continue to do what matters most to you with a fuller cup.
We create our retreats to welcome the unique wisdom of each season, tuning into natures rhythms to guide us. Our retreats are a space for you to nurture and celebrate each aspect of self, connect to nature and other women, so you can reclaim well-being and balance in your life.

Many of our participants come back year after year to deepen their practice, to welcome softness and rest into being deeply cared for.
The practices we offer
Each retreat is unique and a reflection of nature's seasonal invitation along with our own inspiration and personal practice.
So know this list is not a complete list of the practices we offer but intended to give some insight into the type of offerings we bring forward.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," is a guided meditation practice for deep relaxation and awareness. During a Yoga Nidra session, practitioners lie down in a comfortable position and are guided through a series of verbal cues that encourage a state of conscious awareness while the body rests. It is accessible to all, regardless of yoga experience.
This ancient practice is said to be the equivalent of 4 hours sleep - so expect to feel deeply rested and rejuvenated!
Hatha Yoga
A gentle flowing style of yoga suitable for all bodies. These classes are completely free from judgement or expectation, and consist of pranayama (breathwork), asana (postures), meditation & guided relaxation.
Attendees are encouraged to listen to their bodies to find space and movement, and to honour where they are at that day. Modifications and options are provided where needed and the emphasis is on connecting to self, to breath and to the joy that yoga can bring.
Open Dance
This is a free form space for you to follow the natural impulses of your body and the way it wants to move right now.
The music is selected to invite diversity of movement but there is no expectation, no right or wrong, just the freedom to be as you are.

Guided Meditation
We offer various meditation modalities centered on breath and body sensations to cultivate stillness and present-moment awareness.
The intention is to support connection to the here and now.
As we develop our ability to be and stay in the present, we can reduce stress, respond to life with more joy and deepen our relationships.
Authentic Relating
This facilitated practice provides a structure which allows people to be seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. Often done in pairs or groups of three participants take turns to share, listen and reflect in a supportive space that welcomes vulnerability and truth.

Creative Expression
This takes a different form on each retreat and reflects the season, natural resources available and our own creative inspiration. Some examples from previous retreats are: jasmine basket weaving and candle making, neuro-graphic drawing, group mandala made from flowers and other natural materials, wild writing and crafting poetry, vision boarding, herbal tea blending and crafting cleansing smudge sticks.
