Wild Woman, Wise Woman Retreat
November 1-14, 2026

The jungle awaits you…
Come join us for this incredible 14-day journey, for women who feel called to spend time in the Amazon, working with traditional Shipibo curendera and supported by the wisdom of plant medicine in a way that is safe, respectful, and well supported.
It’s for women who want depth - but not drama.
To connect deeply with their spirituality - without losing their feet on the ground.
Healing that actually translates into everyday life.
This retreat isn’t about chasing experiences or trying to become someone else.
It’s about giving ourselves time to slow down enough to listen, to feel,
and to meet yourself more clearly.
What this space is really for:
Over these two weeks, you’ll be supported to:
-
Reconnect with your body and inner sense of truth
-
Work with emotional and physical patterns that have been held for a long time
-
Strengthen your ability to stay present with yourself and others
-
Explore feminine healing without idealising or performing
-
Learn how to integrate powerful experiences rather than being overwhelmed by them
The pace is calm and there is plenty of space for rest and reflection.
You’re always invited to stay within your own limits.
