30th October - 2nd November 2026
Samhain dark feminine retreat
You’re a woman who never wanted to submit to society’s rules. You want freedom, sex, and independence. But you’ve been told you need to be quiet, to be a Good Girl all your life. Fuck the love and light, it's time to go deep and dark where you know you belong...
calling the outcast woman
The Witch, the Wild Woman, and the Whore: three vilified characters of history, myths, and legends that taunt at the sterility of the modern woman. We have all but lost our connection to these archetypes in our society, we're groomed to be the Good Girl, polished into the People Pleaser... And we instinctively feel there is something being denied, and she is crying out for truth.
Together over this Samhain weekend, 30th October - 2nd November, we will explore our dark feminine aspects, journeying with themes of wildness, independence, sexuality, magick, mystery, to reclaim the outcasted woman, the forbidden feminine. To bring together any parts of you that feel less than or unworthy; to heal the split.
Let us lay our darkness on the altar not as something 'bad' or 'wrong' but something sacred. Come home to yourself, woman. She is calling...
reclaim &
OH YES
remember
journey somatically into your wild feminine and throw all fucks in the fire keeping you small
find safety in your untamed self-expression and unfiltered desires (no more Good Girl)
embrace your inner black sheep and meet like-spirited wild women like you
meet the dark and denied aspects of Woman and embrace the full spectrum
heal the outcast wound and find belonging among women who want to remember their wild power
awaken the primal pulse between your legs and say Yes to more pleasure and power
unleash long lost parts of yourself that have been silenced over years of hustle and grind
escape to the country for a long weekend and remember who the fuck you are
If you've said Yes to more than two of the above, you know where you wanna be...
is for you if you're ready to

"such powerful growth in such a short space of time."
I shed so many layers of conditioning and shame that I didn't know I carried... Fiona's guidance was soft and tender but equally strong and supportive. She's the most incredible teacher and she will change your life, in the most magical ways."

Whisper these words: Witch, Wild Woman, Whore... what do they conjure up for you?
The dark feminine is like a shamanic call to become familiar with the mystery, to celebrate the sacred in the profane, to return to your root, womb, sex, blood… To meet your primal body and dance with the “devil”. Do you dare heed her call?
The dark feminine holds both cathartic and somatic healing. She brings to life that which is ripe and ready, as much as destroys that which is old and rotten.
The past 5000 years have prioritised men, dogma, science, organised religion, God, light, mind, ascension… Now we are re-membering women, mystery, intuition, spirituality, Goddess, darkness, body, descension…
Come, tap into a direct line to truth, your deep-rooted power, wisdom, eros, and so much more. Be guided on a somatic journey through the underworld; the dark subconscious feminine psyche and find belonging in your true nature.
A long-weekend of dark feminine remembering, ritual, ceremony, movement, and sister connection awaits.

the location
Somerset, England
Hosted on the northern coast of west Somerset, we’ll be staying in wild luxury, overlooking the English countryside and sea. With three luxury private shepherds huts, each with their own wood-fired hot tub, and cosy quirky cottages with twin sharing rooms, we'll be staying in true quintessential English hospitality. Our practices will be spent in a heated studio space and our free time up in the woodland hot tub, sauna, swimming in the heated pool, receiving treatments and massages, and of course dancing around the fire naked and howling at the moon when the sun goes down. This venue is perfect to hold our dark descent as we journey home...

This retreat is NOT for you if...
❌ You're looking for a spa weekend with light yoga and rosé (no shade, this is just not that)
❌ You struggle letting go of control and need predictability; this work takes you into the unknown
❌ You're not open to somatic or embodiment practices, partner work, or exploring your edges
❌ You're in an acute mental health crisis or recent trauma - this is deep work and requires a stable foundation
❌ You're uncomfortable with nudity, fire rituals, or uninhibited self-expression in a group setting
🔥 You're craving deep sisterhood with women who get the wildness in you
🔥 You've spent your whole life being told to be quieter, smaller, more palatable - and you're done with it
🔥 You're curious about shadow work, mythology, and the parts of yourself that have been shamed or silenced
🔥 You're ready to move, shake, cry, dance, and howl and let go of whatever's been keeping you locked up
🔥 You feel a deep, instinctual YES when you read the words Witch, Wild Woman, and Whore

"A genuine sisterhood was woven together"
The retreat was a total treat. A slow, intuitive and regulating invitation into sensuality, embodiment and feminine connection. Fiona is a natural space holder with such a warm authentic presence.
