Wild Alignment ~ Three days of movement, craft, nature and song
Description
Wild Alignment is a weekend immersion for those longing to slow down, awaken their senses, and find their way back to the living world. Over three days in the bush, we weave together movement, ancestral skills, and sensory awareness practices - creating space to feel alive, grounded, and held: by yourself, by each other, and by the land itself.
What awaits you:
Hands in the Earth - Learn timeless bushcraft skills, from foraging and making herbal skincare, to plant-printing on natural fabrics and weaving. These are more than skills, they are invitations into reciprocity with the land.
Move & Be Moved - Our movement sessions draw on primal movement patterns, contact improvisation, and somatic awareness practices to awaken the body's innate intelligence. Through touch, play, and fluid exploration, you'll discover how movement can become a doorway into a deeper relationship with nature, and with yourself. Evenings come alive around the fire with shared music.
Open Your Senses - Through awareness practices, and the art of stalking your own curiosity, you'll learn to truly listen - to the forest, to the birds, and to the subtler languages of the living world. These practices have the power to change the way you move through life, long after the weekend is over.
Each day holds its own rhythm: morning stillness, shared meals, craft, movement, and fire. You're welcome to dip in and out of offerings as you feel called.

- Weather
Wild Alignment takes place outdoors, in relationship with the living elements. The property includes sheltered areas for gathering and crafting, allowing us to stay warm, dry, and comfortable while still immersed in nature.
The retreat will go ahead in wet or changeable weather - in fact, rain often deepens the experience, awakening the senses and inviting a richer connection with the land. We encourage you to come prepared for a range of conditions with appropriate clothing and gear.
We will only cancel or postpone the event in the case of extreme weather that poses a safety risk, such as bushfires, flooding, or severe weather warnings. If this occurs, the retreat will be rescheduled. Your payment can either be transferred to the new date or fully refunded if you are unable to attend.
