A Women’s Inner-Rewilding Breathwork Retreat
_____________________________________

- How would it be to reclaim your connection to that deep knowing wild which dwells below the surface?

- To move below the chatter of the modern world and remember the instinctual, trusting, raw, growling, purring, power of being connected deeply to yourself, other women, nature and the essence of life itself?

“Amber’s women’s nature retreats are nothing short of life-changing. She is an extraordinarily in-tune facilitator and a beautiful authentic person. Over four days, Amber guides you through a personal transformation journey, and you leave not only connected to yourself, but to all the awesome women who joined you at the retreat. Her retreats are sacred in my calendar – I simply won’t miss them.”

This is a women’s inner-rewilding retreat. The retreat focuses on creating a safe and nurturing container for women folk to reclaim, reconnect, rewild, repair and remember the deep internal wilderness that resides within us all.

Fostering connection with this internal wilderness is a well spring for a life that works. A rich source of finding purpose, meaning, joy and vitality in our relationship to these precious fleeting lives of ours.

We will use the transformational modality of ‘Conscious Connected Breathwork’ as well as various embodiment, empowerment and emplacement practices and ceremonies to deepen our relationship with our wild instincts. All whilst being supported and held by the elements of nature and each other.

This retreat draws on the relational qualities of our existence to repair the places we feel the pain of disconnection, whether that be within ourselves, with others, with the natural world or with that which is greater than us.

How would it be to explore:

– Reinvigorating our deep internal awareness that takes us beyond the chatter of the mind and the limitations of the modern world.

– Repairing a connection with our precious bodies that is not only loving and respectful but rooted in the safety of firm physical, emotional and energetic boundaries.

– Reconnecting with those deep, primal, instinctual, wild, raw and powerful parts of ourselves.

– Stalking our truest natures, that growl below the surface, beyond the cultural expectations and familial patterns that keep us small, scared, confused, domesticated and disconnected.

– Reclaiming the breath of life, the breath that is beyond survival breathing, and is a conduit not only for our internal compass and self healing but which is also our portal to connection with the mystery of life and that which is greater than us.

– Remembering the freedom of a wild heart, a heart that feels safe to feel FULLY, that breaks open into full receptivity of love for life itself and ALL that comes with that. A heart that knows to feel is to live.

– Modalities that effectively drop us right back into our embodied and collective power. Helping us to learn to shed the skins that are between us and reclaiming our deep wild woman.

Does a bell in your body ring at those words?

Maybe this retreat is for you.

" Potent. Profound. Raw. Real. 've never experienced anything like it. Thank you from my soul to yours for providing such a safe, welcoming & loving space for us."

What is “inner-rewilding”?

This retreat is focused on connecting deeply within and reanimating our deepest inner knowing. Starting or continuing to explore getting really comfortable with the fullest versions of ourselves. Some might call this our subconscious world, our intuition, our inner guidance system, others might say its our spirit or soul consciousness, or maybe just our deep psyche. Whatever term we chose to wrap around it, we are talking about something deep, wise, grounded and honestly bloody magical.

To connect with this aspect of ourselves we often must meet and transform the parts of us that are in the road of that connection to our truest untamed natures. We must explore the boarded up aspects of our hearts, the caged animals of our primal nature, the cleverly denied pulse of our instinctual knowing. Often we need support and permission to repair and caretake the tender parts of our inner nature.

We will all be at different places on this path and this retreat is about supporting participants to take the next step for THEIR personal journey.

We will focus on consent, relational repair, self governance and agency. You will be empowered to go at the pace that is right for you, to seek support when needed and opt out when it is not in your rightness. This is YOUR experience and we are here to support you to practice navigating the tricky world of choice and self knowing.

Reclaiming and igniting our untamed selves is a way to break off the shackles of our ancestral wounds, break down the walls of our cultural cages, feel the unfelt emotions that keep as stuck in unhelpful patterns, decolonise our bodies, unhook the internalised misogyny that infuses our everyday lives and ignite our sovereignty.

Reclaiming our inner wilderness is about remembering our innate belonging, coming home to ourselves and releasing/repairing the material that limits us fully inhabiting ourselves and the world authentically.

"The reclaim women's retreat was exactly the soul balm that I needed to help me connect to myself."

ACCESSABILITY

All those who identify as women are welcome, all bodies, all sexualities, all forms of femininity (18 +).

PLEASE NOTE a certain level of mobility is required to navigate mixed terrain, camp and lie on the ground for Breathwork ceremonies.

This retreat is beginner friendly, however, trying a Breathwork session prior to retreat is recommended.

The only criteria are that you are comfortable with the rawness of the natural environment (uncomfortable weather, insects, dirt, drop loos, no showers, no power etc) and that you are committed to empowering, healing and inspiring your own inner wildness.

This experience is 100% drug and alcohol free.

Retreat Flow

- Each day will start with a gentle and inclusive movement meditation practice to support us to land in our ‘bodyverse’ and on the earth.

- We will then roll into a mix of transpersonal breathwork journeys, embodiment/emplacement practices, guided meditations, deep listening circles, individual and collective empowerment practices, nature connection, slowness, play, connected conversations, belly laughs and time to just be.

- Each day will finish with a shared nutritious meal, heart warming conversations, endless cups of tea and soul nourishing songs round the campfire.

"As a complete beginner to breathwork, Amber’s women’s retreat felt very safe and welcoming. Her gentle and skilled facilitation encouraged us to explore our own boundaries and go at our own pace. Amber expertly navigated a diverse and complex group, while making sure that everyone felt seen and heard. Her close attention to the collective as well as the individual reminds us that this work is always relational and offers us a precious rehearsal space for building a better world.

Camping info:

This is a BASIC camping retreat where we will let the natural elements support us to find ourselves more deeply and allow nature to help us defrag from our modern lives and reset our nervous systems.

NB: There are a few cabins available for those needing a little more comfort (see below for more info).

There is no power, no showers, no reception and only a long drop toilet. The earth will be our bed, the stars will be our light, the trees will be our guardians and the river will wash away our doubts.

A very basic camp kitchen will be available for use but participants will be encouraged to use their own camping equipment for cooking their breakfast where possible.

We have a great covered area for wet weather conditions but will use our outdoor landscape for much of the retreat.

We will have a relaxing fire each evening to warm our bodies and hearts as we gather to share a meal, a chat and a song or two.
