“Ritual Divine”- One Day Healing Retreat

Wild Within - “Ritual Divine”

With Emily Rose & Ashley Molson

2 years ago, after the first time we unveiled and shared this session, a student shared that this offering changed their relationship with pleasure, forever, mainly that they were finally able to recover from the depth of share that was instilled into them, from an early age. Both Ashley and I, each with our own unique relationship to just that, are here to lovingly bring this worthy work back to you.

Invite Only “Movement is Medicine”- In-Studio Movement Retreat

Dance is one of the most ancient ways to communicate. Archaeological evidence for early dance includes 10,000-years-old paintings in India and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures, dated c. 3300 BC.

We feel this on a cellular level; we feel it when we watch it and maybe even more so when we participate in it, too.

The “Movement is Medicine” in-studio weekend retreat, is a dedicated, long form space of connection within our movement and the things we remember on a cellular level; as women, as humans and as natural, wild, beings. A place to tell stories and connect back to the reverence of what never fails to guide us…nature, animals & spirit.

Grief, Grounding & Gratitude- Breath Work & Sound Bath

The spring beckons for new beginnings and illuminates the imprint of the winter slumber. We are in constant cycles of life and death - both physical and energetic, relational and personal. Not to mention, approaching the time in the year where newness kisses our skin, yet we may still be deep within our own grief processes. Sometimes "new" reminds us of what we have lost or what has massively shifted & changed, and what is no longer available to come with us where we are going.

The Wild Within “Sacred Self” Retreat

to Oct 20

The Wild Within “Sacred Self” Retreat

Women practicing Embodied Movement at Retreat

Sacred Self

RETREAT

・OCTOBER 17-20, 2024・

This Wild Within "Sacred Self" Retreat in Craryville, NY, will offer you a full weekend-long portal around sacred sexuality, emotional sovereignty, dreams, and ancient wisdom through the lens of movement as medicine.

Wild Within Fall Retreat

ABOUT THE RETREAT:

Women need community. We quite literally THRIVE in it. 
We need time and space to digest and integrate.
We need rest and reprieve and good food...and laughter. 
And, we need Nature!
We need places where we can REMEMBER.

Sitting in circle is one of the most ancient things we know how to do. It lives in us.
So if trauma can be passed down (as we know it), healing and wisdom can be too. 

This fall, take a pilgrimage to a sanctuary nestled in the woods and also nestled within. 

ABOUT THE SPACE

teepee in the woods

Your decompression begins before you even arrive as you make your way through the gentle winding roads, passing farmhouses, silos, and corn fields. When you pull into the long, forested driveway, you are truly transported into timeless tranquility. A long winding drive leads to this modern hideaway, offering peace, privacy, and pastoral views.

the sacred circle space we will use for our sessions

This 10-acre property consists of the Main house, an independent two-bedroom Guest House above an oversized Studio space, and a huge Ceremonial Tipi (teepee) that has been blessed by the tribe member who set it for the owners and for those coming into the space to share medicine, respect, and healing circles within it. 

A short 15-minute walk to Copake Lake and trails surrounding this 10-acre property, which has been energetically gridded and blessed. There is a large movement space adorned with a textured carpet and sensuous fabrics. It is the perfect space for us to honor our feminine energy, open up channels for some deep healing work, and connect to ourselves and one another.

Who is this Retreat for?!

The fall “Wild Withinn” Retreat has become an annual pilgrimage for many, as well as an initiation for most. This space (typically local-ish to the studio) is both a portal opening and a homecoming for the soul. We do deep work in these weekend events, but it is also my personal desire to bring you an experience that allows for rest, digestion, and true connection to what is being offered. A huge compliment that is often shared with me is that not only the content but the pacing and rhythm of these experiences allow for true embodiment and integration of all that unfolds.

I’m deeply moved by what shows up at our retreats, it always seems like exactly what we need at that time, even if we didn’ t know it. “Sacred Self” will invite us to explore nooks and crannies of ourselves, especially in the sensual energetic space (sexuality, emotional expression, spiritual guidance to name a few). Just know that you are so held in these events by the team, by the land, and ether by each other and from your own infinite well of resources within . And if you so choose, you will be forever changed by a Wild Within retreat.

 

What’s included:

🌙 A weekend full of Immersive Experiences
🌙 Group Circles
🌙 The entire property to ourselves
🌙 Solo integration time & respected space
🌙 Your entire accommodations: room & board
🌙 Breakfast, lunch and dinner (vegan/vegetarian)
🌙 All ceremonial materials and tools provided
🌙 Intentionally created and curated gift bag
🌙 4 facilitators totaling 100 years of expertise, plus our wonderful chef, Wendy
🌙 Access to never-before-seen or experienced Wild Within workshops & rituals
🌙 A space full of like-minded women coming together to remember who they are


 

What Past Retreaters Say About Their Experiences

“This is an authentic opportunity to learn about yourself and others safely. It is not performative or appropriative but inspired and kind. You will feel at first you're learning something completely new and unfamiliar but then realize it's been 'within' you all along and you deserve to access it and all the healing it can offer you” - KM

“Wild Within has offered me a rewilding of my system. The honoring of the feminine, the permission to be my rawest self and to explore the deepest, darkest corners of my body and the way it desires to move. To slow down and move with my heart. This program brings me back to myself and to like-minded women. I am deeply grateful for these offerings” - Kasey

Movement is Medicine & Pleasure is a birthright.

When we put these 2 rights of passage together, you get nothing short of Magick.

We will spend 5 weeks using embodiment and sensual self expression to reconnect and uncover our most authentic self.  When we move our sensual and sexual energy around, everything else follows.
