“To be whole, to be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human – what we are connected to, rather than what we are separated from”
– Terry Tempest Williams
WILD HEARTH WEAVING RETREAT
Three- day
Full Moon Or New Moon
Immersions
Imagine…
Spending your days tucked away on a beautiful, quiet beach, with nothing to do and nowhere to go but weave your very own basket.
Imagine…
Sleeping under the Stars & Moon, then rolling out of your tent and watching the sunrise in sacred silence
Imagine…
Getting to know our local plants, learning how to harvest, process and weave your very own soul basket from its fibres.
Imagine…
Cooking & sharing songs around a fire, strengthening your threads of connection with the natural world and deepening your sense of belonging to this land.

Children - Your little ones are welcome! Do please consider if the environment would be suitable for them to spend their time in, and how their presence may influence you during the immersion. They will be welcome to weave with us, as well as welcome to explore, and play on the beach & in the water. As are you!

YOUR COMMITMENT
