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. 

“Beth & Vanessa are magical soulful beings, in tune with what it means to be a woman in our modern world, and therefore provide the perfect antidote - filling our cups!”

— Sasha

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. 

 

Taking inspiration from the work of Mayer and Sweeny (2004) who created a model for wellness around the idea that we are an indivisible self, our retreats are a space for you to nurture and celebrate each aspect of self so you can reclaim well-being and balance in your life.

You can read more about their work here

 

Every retreat will offer

  • Resources to support you in times of stress and help you respond to life’s challenges.

  • Movement practices accessible to all bodies which are an invitation to connect with and care for your body. 

  • Fresh, seasonal and organic food and drinks to support your physical health and clarity of mind. 

  • A small group size to offer connection and invite authentic relationship.

  • Creativity as a pathway for authentic self expression.

  • Spaciousness within each session and the retreat as a whole, to offer you agency and choice in how you want to be in the space and allow time for personal reflection and integration. 

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.
