Bath, South West, UK

wilder ways 2026

SIGN UP

Last year’s retreat opened something special and rare

Thank you for being here, woman. We are so happy to invite you to the wild with us..

This Summer Solstice portal, we return to the woods..the same wild land, the same forest beneath bare feet, the same long table feasts and golden evenings.. but this year a deeper intention to create an experience that will leave you feeling more connected to yourself than ever before.

Wilder Ways is a deep, sacred sanctuary for the woman who knows her power lives in connection'; with her body, the land, her truth and other like hearted women. This year, the container expands: additional facilitators, live soundscapes and medicine music, deeper practices and more ceremonial spaces for devotion.

This immersIVE retreat holds space for a woman to unfurl, explore, deepen and reclaim her fullest expression.

the land

For 4 days you will live in a magical, exclusive forest called Campwell Woods: a handcrafted eco-village nestled in a wild wooded valley just outside Bath. With cosy log cabins, yurts, a cob roundhouse and wood burning stoves, plus a wood-fired sauna and beautiful off-grid facilities, it’s a secluded, nature-immersed sanctuary that on our last retreat women named “the wild fairy forest where time stands still.”

Charged with love and nurture, this land is ready to hold our wild bodies.

EXPLORE THE VILLIAGE

so, why wilder ways?

Beyond the earthly pleasures of wild swimming, evening forest saunas, nourishing feasts and laughter amongst the forest canopy lies the heart of this journey: a deep reconnection to your authentic, truest self.

Wilder Ways this year is calling in the woman who is ready to fully unplug and remember her liberated essence.

The woman who is done skimming the surface of herself.

The woman who is ready to commit to an immersive, embodied, deeply transformational experience.

You will awaken, enliven and ignite over the portal of summer solstice and likely not leave the same woman.

BOOK A CONNECTION CALL

the experience

Connect to the full spectrum of your female human experience. The joy, grief, anger, celebration, tenderness, love.. here we let it all move through you. Facilitated with care and empowerment to help you release and feel what has been ignored or not allowed. You’ll learn how relate better to yourself and to others with loving practices that open the heart and connect the spirit.

❋ Somatic, embodiment and relational practices.

The heart of this experience is a deep return to the Earth.. living amongst and within nature herself. Surrounded by land, trees, and open sky, your nervous system softens and recalibrates. Through elemental rituals and ceremony, you’ll reconnect with Mother Nature and receive the wisdom she offers when you slow down enough to listen.

❋ Earth based Ritual

Josie Cork and Ines Braddel will be woven throughout the entire experience, bringing the medicine of live music through ancient instruments and their deeply soulful voices. Women are inherently connected to voice and song, yet in modern culture that connection has often been silenced or forgotten. Through celebratory, heart opening music inspired by traditions such as those of South America, we reclaim the power of our voices and a profound sense of togetherness.

❋ Voice, Medicine Music & Celebration
❋ Ceremonial spaces with sacred allies

Carefully held ceremonial space with the optional support of a sacred mushroom ally or ceremonial cacao to deepen the experience, perception, insight and embodied awareness. This ally is not the focus of the experience, but is approached with respect and clarity, as subtle teachers that can soften defences, quiet the thinking mind, and open deeper layers of feeling and inner knowing.

〰️

feeling the call? 〰️

This retreat is for you if…

  • You feel the call to step away from the noise and return to something more elemental, honest and true.

  • You know growth and feeling alive doesn’t happen on the surface; it lives in depth, in community, in honest relationship and in the courage to soften the armour you’ve outgrown.

  • You crave real connection..to your body, to the land, and to other like hearted women.

  • You’re ready to be witnessed in your truth, not the version of you that feels easy to present.

  • You sense there is more of you waiting to be expressed and you want a courageous, wild, loving space to meet her.

  • You value nourishment, ritual, nature and the kind of magic that happens when women gather with intention.

I FEEL THE CALL

  • The possibility to connect with so many other women at such a deep level in such a short period of time and being put in condition to truly FEEL myself. I was already doing quite a bit of work within myself, but something big has definitely shifted since the retreat.

    - Elise (2025 retreat)

  • What drew me to this retreat was you, christine- the way you navigate directly from the source. the deep trust you embody, the practices you share - they resonate with something my mind, body and soul have been yearning for with such hunger. I feel, with every part of me that you will bring exactly what I need in the moments I need it most. And for that I'm deeply grateful

    - Ingrid (2025 retreat)

  • I’m taking away so many beautiful memories—the magic of the lake, the singing, the hugs, the laughter, and the joy of sharing dinner together, enjoying incredible dishes. But also the embodiment work stands out for me, where I felt safe to express myself fully, to cry, and to hold space for others in their suffering. These moments created a deep sense of connection and healing that I will carry with me.

    - Antonia (2025 retreat)

  • If you want to eat like a queen,sleep like a princess and feel like a sovereingn,this is your place,even tough you have to fly to arrive there

    - Eva (2025 retest, from Spain)
