North Woman: Embody the Power of the Wise Woman Within

The Unveiling. Equinox Awakening.

20TH - 21ST SEPTEMBER, 2025

Welcome, wise women

Forget gentle unfolding. This is an activation. Join us for a soul-nourishing weekend retreat, aligned with the Autumn Equinox, to delve into the raw, magnetic power of the Wise Woman Elder of the North. We’re not only exploring an archetype; we’re igniting the unyielding spirit, the sharp intuition, and the grounded wisdom that lies dormant within, as nature itself seeks balance and prepares for deep introspection. Held within a stunning yurt, embraced by three acres of ancient, enchanted woodland near Glastonbury, we will immerse ourselves in the potent current of the feminine – a force ready to be unveiled, harmonising with the turning of the wheel and the equal balance of light and shadow.

Two wise elders, Lavinia Wilde and Christa Mackinnon, will be weaving their magic, guiding you deeper into the mysteries.

Unlock Your Primal Truth:

Shamanic Journeys: 
Travel into the depths of your inner landscape. Here, the archetypal wise woman awaits: a raw wellspring of profound insights, unapologetic power, and untamed magic. Integrate her wisdom, allowing it to rewire your perceptions and guide your path. Wild Connection: Bridge the chasm between your inner world and the outer expanse. Experience the profound healing and grounding offered by nature’s embrace, letting the woodlands’ ancient whispers awaken truths in your soul, reflecting the seasons’ call to release and replenish.

North & Air Activation: 
Tune into the resonant frequency of the North, carried by the element of Air. Explore the Crone’s essential qualities: radical integrity, unvarnished truth, and crystalline wisdom. Discover how to cultivate these within, forging an unyielding inner compass that guides you through the shifting seasons of your life.

Autumn Equinox Fire Ceremony: 
Honour the sacred balance of day and night as we gather around the flames. This powerful ritual invites us to work with transformation, where we claim our passage into wisdom, consciously releasing what no longer serves, transmuting old patterns, and gathering the harvest of our inner wisdom. Witness and honour the powerful emergence of the Wise Woman within you, a transformation etched in fire and breath, mirroring the profound shift happening in the natural world.

Blue Lotus Flower Tea Ceremony: 
Experience the gentle euphoria and expanded awareness of this sacred flower, traditionally used to enhance intuition, deepen meditation, and open pathways to inner vision.

Oracle Readings:
These ancient wisdom tools offer piercing clarity and unexpected guidance, illuminating your next steps as you navigate this powerful seasonal transition.

Free Camping – bring a tent or campervan


For those who truly want to immerse themselves in the wild,

sleeping bag, and your open heart. Or, if you prefer a softer
landing, the charming village of Bruton is just a stone’s throw away.

“Maybe the journey isn’t about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so that you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”

- Paulo Coelho
