WILD WITCH
WITHIN
RETREAT IN SALEM MASS. & MANCHESTER -BY -THE -SEA
June 10 - June 14, 2026
About This
Retreat
Wild Witch Within is an intimate, embodied retreat in Salem for women who are ready to remember themselves beyond performance, productivity, and politeness. Set on ancestral land steeped in history, nature, and reclamation, this experience is not about becoming someone new—it’s about shedding what never belonged to you. Through somatic ritual, shadow work, creative alchemy, and deep rest, you’ll be guided back into your body as a source of truth, pleasure, and power. This is a space where your emotions are welcome, your desires are not too much, and your wildness is met with reverence.
Over five spacious days,
we move slowly and intentionally—listening to the land, learning from plants, expressing what has been held in, and resting without apology. From sensual storytelling and large-scale creative release to sovereignty practices, ocean time, and gratitude rituals, every element is designed to support nervous system CAPACITY (not just regulation), self-trust, and integration. You will leave feeling grounded, open, and deeply connected - to yourself, to lineage, and to what wants to live through you next. This retreat is a remembering, a reclamation, and a homecoming you will carry long after you leave Salem.

The Retreat Portal
Wednesday Evening - Arrival & Descent
Opening Sacred Space: Grounding Ceremony
A soft landing into the land, the body, and the lineage.
We gather to root, arrive, and release the outside world - calling our energy home and opening the threshold for the days ahead.
Group altar creation.
Thursday - Remembering the Body & Meeting the Shadow
Listening to the Land: Property Walk & Elemental Attunement
A slow, sensory exploration of the expansive space we have, meeting the trees, the soil, the ocean, the salty air, and the unseen stewards of the space.
Somatic Homecoming: Sensual Storytelling with Jane
Through guided movement, voice, and embodied sharing, we trace the stories held in the body mirrored with a story read aloud pleasure, grief, longing, desire, and power - allowing what has been hidden or silenced to gently surface. No force, no aesthetic.
The Embodied Way - Shadow as Teacher: Mapping the Inner Landscape
A compassionate shadow work practice to meet the parts of us that resist, protect, or long to be seen, especially in this season of life, as you are being called forward.
You may think “I have done this before” - but right now there is something asking YOU for deeper curiosity.
We will explore emotional patterns, unconscious desires, and edges; without fixing, bypassing, or forcing transformation- so we can continue to show up in our lives in our highest good, our fullest expression and the most resourced, embodied manifestations of ourselves.
Spellcasting the Weekend: Intention & Desire Mapping
A ritual workshop to name what wants to be felt, explored, and freed.
Participants map emotions, curiosities, and desires, creating a personal constellation & compass for the rest of the retreat. (so excited for this!!)
Friday - Wild Expression & Ancestral Echoes
Creative Alchemy: The Art of Unleashing
Large-scale, untamed expression through paint, movement, sound, and nature.
Think: giant canvases, paint slinging, feminine rage as medicine half naked in the forest, tree hugging, howling, and letting the body lead without apology.
Ocean time to cleanse & replenish.
Salem After Dark (Optional): Walking with the Ancestors
An optional guided journey into the history of Salem—honoring the witches, the wounds, and the echoes that still linger.
A witnessing of the past through a present-day lens of reclamation and remembrance.
Saturday - Sovereignty, Green Wisdom & Sacred Rest
Claiming the Self: Sovereignty as a Lived Practice
An exploration of personal authority, boundaries, and self-trust—listening to inner rhythm and honoring choice as sacred.
Green Wisdom: Nature & Herbs as Our Teachers (our new holistic chef is also an herbalist!) A sensory and intuitive encounter with plants and herbs. Learning through touch, scent, and presence - remembering plants as allies, mirrors, and co-regulators. This will also lead into a movement exploration to honor nature, spirit, our wombs & our innate feminine wisdom.
Unstructured Magick: Free Time & Wandering
Space to follow desire.
Optional time to return to town, wander Salem, explore the forest, enjoy the ocean or do absolutely nothing at all.
Salt & Stillness: An invitation to meet the ocean allowing water, wind, and horizon to soothe the nervous system and soften the body.
Radical Rest
Rest without agenda.
Naps, silence, journaling, baths, or solitude—rest as ritual, medicine, and sovereignty.
Group Bonfire
Sunday - Gratitude & Integration
Gratitude as Ritual: Honoring What Has Moved
A closing circle devoted to appreciation for the body, the land, the lineage, the shadows met, and the woman you are becoming.
Sealing the Work: Carrying the Wild Home
A gentle integration practice to anchor insights, sensations, and intentions - so what was awakened here continues to live beyond the retreat.
Closing Blessing & Departure
We release the circle with reverence, trusting that the remembering will continue to unfold in its own time.
As Above, So Below. So Mote it Be.
As Above, So Below. So Mote it Be.
Welcome to Sharksmouth Estate’s “Stone House” — an extraordinary private retreat where timeless architecture meets New England’s raw coastal beauty. Perched on a 40-acre oceanfront estate, this 10-bedroom home offers sweeping sea views, historic craftsmanship, and private access to ⅓ mile of rugged shoreline for swimming, exploring tidal pools, or simply relaxing by the water.
Built in 1869 and lovingly restored, the Stone House blends period elegance with modern luxury. Every room tells a story — from the John Hancock banister on the main staircase to the vintage wood paneling and sun-filled coastal views. And just a few minutes from what the locals lovingly call “puppy beach”, where over 100 dogs can be seen on a Saturday enjoying the oceanfront sandscapes.
