Wild Woman Retreat
LA LUNE SAUVAGE
A 6-day (wild) women retreat with outdoor fire cooking, foraging, ceramics, meditation, inner soul work and moon rituals
LA LUNE SAUVAGE
Join us for an enchanting retreat where we reconnect with nature and our inner selves.
This retreat is a 6-day wild women retreat in France,
combined with foraging, creative therapy like ceramics, moon rituals, fermentation,
open fire cooking, soul work and meditation.
Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature as we embark on a journey of creativity, nourishment, ceramics and spiritual connection.
Slow down. Reconnect with your inner nature. Come home to yourself. Do we still listen well to that natural rhythm and inner knowing that resides within us? Together with a group of like-minded women (max 8), we will connect with each other and our deepest selves. At a unique location, we will connect and create together.
The hustle and bustle, the noise of news and social media and the endless deadlines of modern living have got everyone whizzing round in ever decreasing, faster circles of energy loss. Our wild moon retreat is a way out; 6 days of blissful relaxation in a small group (max 8 women) with the aim of resetting your mind, body and soul in a hidden countryside paradise in France.
Surrounded by like-minded women, we will build meaningful connections and support each other in our journeys. Through shared experiences and collaborative activities, we will nurture our spirits and celebrate our unique gifts.
