Courses & Retreats
Soulful & Wild Courses
Life stays fresh when we are growing, learning, and leaning into change.
Those who are drawn to attend the circles, intensives and classes run or facilitated by Soulful and Wild, come from all walks of life. There is no defined age bracket, socio-economic container or set level of experience or knowledge base. There is however a commonality, and that is ‘the spark’. The spark is exactly what you might imagine; a spark of light in the heart that is seeking oxygen and space to burn a little brighter. At the core of things, this is what it’s all about. Whether its a Healing Intensive, a full immersion into the Tarot, or a deep dive into Yoga, Aromatherapy, Meditation or one of our Seasonal Retreats, its all about taking a deep metaphorical breath in, and letting it out real slow, so that ‘the spark’ that is you, can be enlivened. Our events are designed to help you shine.

Soulful & Wild Retreats
It is natural right and good for women to ‘retreat’.
Time away from normal life activities and responsibility has traditionally occurred in alignment with a woman’s moon cycle and provided an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with the self and regenerate on all levels. Likewise, women have always gathered together to celebrate and honour the earth, to express their gratitude for the bounty of the season that has passed, and to welcome in the new. This historically based, woman centric, life affirming approach is at the core of each S&W Retreat. There is nourishment for body, mind and soul. You wont be surprised by gentle movement, meditation, aromatics, healing sounds, time to reflect on your accomplishments and the opportunity to dream up your next chapter.
