THE WILD WITHIN RETREAT
Shamanic Inspiration & Intuitive Development – for those seeking higher connection
Fri 25th – Sunday 27th July 2025
Wilderness Woods, East Sussex
A weekend connecting with your wild one that dwells within you. Shamanic inspired traditions are at the heart of this weekend. Exploring your higher-self, connecting with your Guides and feeling the beating heart of Mother Earth. Held within private woodland, you can go off grid and be powered by Universal life force.
At this 3 day retreat retreat, you’ll be invited to call in the wild person who dwells within you, through journeying, fire circles, forest bathing, oracle card readings, meditations, energy clearing, journalling & intuitive practise. Explore conscious rest & energy work, allowing the outside chatter to diminish. Be supported to feel greater strength and clarity and to create the transformation you may seek. Unpeel any layers of self-limiting beliefs, build empowerment and feel the wild call. We will honour our inner Wild One, shake off what no longer serves you, igniting the fire in your belly and setting intentions.
Each day will include shared breakfast, lunch and dinner, alongside the workshops and free time to explore.
