RITUALS
CONNECT
with the medicine of earth & water in beautiful sacred Portugese surroundings of Leiria.
AWAKEN
the wild woman within in the surrounding forests and water through blessings and rituals.
SUBMERSE
in ancient workshops of womb rituals and tantric practices as women together, remembering who we are and where we came from.
SURRENDER
into deep ceremony, meditations and journeys to reawaken the wild woman within, igniting your senses and inner fire.
PRACTICES & CEREMONIES
BODY PRACTICE - DANCE, MOVEMENT, YOGA
Free your body in movement and dance to live DJ led music, especially curated for you to connect to your wild woman. Dancing is medicine. When you dance you connect to a part of you that nothing else can reach. Dance frees the mind, body and spirit.
ENERGY PRACTICES - KUNDALINI & BREATHWORK
Life -force energy known as shakti can lay dormant if we dont wake her and allow her to move and feed our whole body. Breathwork techniques and kundalini allows for stagnant energy to be shifted, cultivating new ways of igniting and firing our shakti energy. Both can create a sense of liberation, pleasure and remembered bliss. The wild resides in the playful nature of the feminine.
FEMININE ART PRACTICES - WOMB, TANTRA, DOAIST
Connecting with ancient practices and wisdom brings our wild bodies back to an innate knowing that we have 'done this before'. It enables us to tap into a part of the wild woman spirit that logic cannot explain. Through ritual & practices known as the feminine arts we begin to understand and honour our bodies with the highest of respect and intention, beginning to receive messages. Ledaing us to a deeper understanding. We will introduce ritual & practices from ancient womb temples, doaist practices and tantra - we will explore through touch, yoni steam, shamanic journey, breast massage, womb rites and much more.
NATURE - WATER BLESSINGS, CRAFTING
Submerse yourself in nature, in the wilds of the Portugese landscape. You will co-create, craft and create together with nature, creating in harmony within your body. Through crafing, intention setting, water blessing and wild swimming you will become nature.
DAILY RITUAL - TEMPLE PRACTICES
Every morning you will step foot into the Wild Woman temple. A place where everything is welcome. A space where you can step into a remembering of who you are or want to become. We hold morning rituals, singing and conscreations through devotional mantra, incanting our wild woman vow. A deep remembering will arise. Come and be in the temple of yourself and the space you will be working in. You will connect with your voice, to access it is an amazing resource!
CONNECTION - SISTERHOOD
Sisterhood is magical. Through the bonding of sisterhood you will feel it settle into your being, so that you can expand into expression. We will create a frequency of energy together that will be unique to the sisters that feel called to come onto this retreat. This bond will stay beyond the retreat and you will be become lifelong friends.

"The wild women retreat has been everything my heart and wild soul were aching for.
Stepping into the wild feminine, both fierce and sensual. Through the safe and empowering space Joanna and Lisa created I gained clarity about my life mission but also made peace with my body and looks, owning my feminity and sexuality. The understanding that taking care of your sexual energy, of your lifeforce energy goes way further than engaging in sex. Pleasure, freedom, lightness, rawness, connection, confidence, playfulness, kindness and liberation. I cannot express how grateful I am for these two beautiful teachers aka goddesses who awakened the goddess in me. Their teachings pushed us outside of our confort zone but opened so many doors. Living life as a sacred ceremony. Forever connected to this inspiring bound of women, of all ages. I could only highly recommend embarking on your journey with Joanna and Lisa. Can’t wait to pursue mine."

"As soon as I stepped onto the once abandoned land of Gravito I knew I had arrived somewhere very special. I was not to be disappointed! I signed up to the retreat with little expectation other than a desire to be with a group of women all wanting to re claim their wild and free integrated selves. Wow, what a journey we took. A journey of shared love, joy and sorrow, held together by much laughter, deep listening and mutual trust. I experienced a journey of deep healing as years of buried shame and fear came to the surface where I was able to speak of it openly and honestly in order to throw off the last vestiges of bondage to my wild free nature which is our natural birthright. Lisa and Joanna did so much more than hold and the space and facilitate for transformation, they held the space with such presence the group began to co create and empower itself to the point where only the “now” mattered.Am incredible journey with incredible women"
Victoria, Uk
“I just wanted to share some of my experience since I returned home. I wondered how much of what I had learnt on retreat would spill over into my every day - and it turns out it very much has!. I wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for helping me to feel empowered by my sexuality rather than disarmed and ashamed. It’s been a huge shift in the way I view my relationship with myself, and I’m excited for what is to unfold with this newfound since of freedom ✨😍”
