Wild Woman Retreat | 7th June

Service Description

This is the ultimate self-care day for the soul. Immerse yourself in the arms of Mama Cacao for a deeply nurturing cacao ceremony, a nourishing lunch, a somatic sound journey, yoga and sauna. We begin the day by gently landing in the body with a guided meditation, followed by a cacao ceremony. Whether you are new to cacao or already familiar, this is a welcoming and supportive introduction to the practice. Cacao is often known as the medicine of the heart. It can help lift the mood, increase energy, and support a deeper connection to yourself. Its subtle effects can help release tension and create more space within the body, allowing you to feel more present and at ease. Enjoy a delicious, nourishing lunch paired with locally sourced herbal teas (from our farm site!), then move in to a restorative afternoon of somatic, body-based practices combined with sound. Fully unwind and integrate the morning experience, you will be guided on an inner journey through sound, with instruments such as the African harp, monochord, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and voice. These sounds, alongside gentle body awareness, help to settle the nervous system, release tension, and bring a sense of balance. Finish the day in our woodland spa - complete with a sauna and refreshing cold plunge - or simply relax around the campfire or in one of our hammocks. There will be cacao and products available to purchase on the day. The day is held by Danu Wolfe and Victoria Cooper; with over 25 years of experience, Vic has helped hundreds of people manage stress and regain balance through a holistic approach rooted in yoga, mindfulness, and the mind–body connection, integrating somatic practices, breathwork, meditation, and techniques such as hypnotherapy, EFT, and NLP to support deep transformation and mindset shifts. Alongside this, Danu, a spiritual teacher, guide, and founder of the Garden of Alchemy in East Sussex, brings a deeply intuitive and integrative approach, weaving together Earth-based, ancestral, and contemporary practices to support healing, reconnection, and self-discovery. Her work focuses on helping individuals reconnect with their true nature, soften internal conflict, and cultivate clarity and ease, drawing on her extensive experience in trauma-enquiry-based practices, as well as shamanic and cosmological traditions. Together, they create a nurturing environment that supports meaningful change, helping you release what no longer serves.
