Wild Woman Samhain

Our Wild Woman Samhain day offers women the opportunity to gather together in a safe space; sharing skills and wisdom, relaxing, listening, feeling, laughing and revelling in the powerful, untamed force that is our wild woman unleashed!

Expect a rich mix of herbalism, healing, yoga, art, sauna and storytelling - all guaranteed to stir the soul!

Detailed information about all parts of the day are also provided in the agenda section on Eventbrite.

Pridie is a storyteller and ethnobotanist committed to reconnecting us with the plants we once used to nourish, nurture and heal. She weaves a rich mix of oral storytelling into the teaching of wilderness skills; rekindling our relationship with the natural world and empowering us to feel at one with the wild.

As a storyteller, she has spent many years performing stories that create a sense of familiarity and connection with nature, especially in those that gift us the opportunity to explore the concept of the "wild woman" - that powerful, untamed force connected to the natural world that can be both nurturing and fierce, instinctual, passionate and creative. Her work encourages a reconnection with that wildness - rediscovering our feral inventiveness and power - through the sharing of ancient stories and the teaching of practical survival skills.

As an ethnobotanist, Pridie has long been fascinated by the power of plants. Her sensory herbalism, seasonal woodcraft and rewilding workshops, draw our native flora onto centre stage, embracing them as a potent way of gaining insight into ourselves and our place in the world, taking control of our bodies, and tapping into the magic of the natural world.

This event takes place at her home in the heart of the Black Mountains—a safe and beautiful space where the sharing of stories and ancestral skills brings people together in community and encourages a change in the way we interact with nature. Here, women can return to that state of ‘awakeness’ we once enjoyed when we thrived in the wild - all senses firing, the herbs and flowers our allies, and the powerful, untamed force that is our wild woman fully embraced and unleashed!

Jodie is a performer, writer, and nature-lover with a passion for helping women reconnect with their sensuality and confidence. Her work blends the art of movement, the magic of storytelling, and the wisdom of the natural world to create transformative experiences that are both deeply empowering and joyfully liberating.

As a dancer, she has spent years exploring the art of physical expression and embodied confidence, learning first-hand how dance can be a gateway to empowerment. She knows what it means to step onto a stage—both literal and metaphorical—and fully own your presence, to take up space with boldness and joy. She brings this understanding into workshops, helping women reconnect with themselves in ways that feel playful, powerful, and deeply liberating.

As a writer, Jodie has long been drawn to the power of stories and expression. She weaves character and narrative into her workshops, using it as a tool for reflection, transformation, and self-discovery.

Her deep connection to nature is at the heart of her practice. With experience in nature communication, she believes the land holds an innate power to heal, awaken, and inspire.

This retreat is the culmination of Jodie’s passions—a space where movement, ritual, and nature come together to support women in stepping into their fullest, wildest selves. With warmth and a deep respect for each woman’s journey, she creates an environment where every woman can feel safe to explore, express, and reclaim her own unique sensuality.

Special Guests...

Emily has been practising both Traditional Chinese Medicine and veterinary medicine for over twenty years. In response to the general omission of spiritual and mystical dialogue in western medicine, Em prioritises TCM’s Five Element theory within all her work - examining how interaction with the forces of the natural world affects our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Amanda is an accredited Reiki practitioner, a medicine drum maker, and a steward of land-based knowledge. For the past six years, she has worked as a self-sufficient community herbalist, quietly growing, harvesting and preparing plant medicines while sharing what she learns with others. Her academic research explores plant consciousness and intelligence, but Amanda believes the deepest learning doesn't come from books — it comes from kneeling in the soil, from watching the way a plant responds to weather, from tending and listening over time.

Rachel is a doula offering heartfelt pregnancy, birth and postpartum support. She is also trained in Rebozo, and Craniosacral practice.

Poppy has recently graduated with a BA in Illustration, and started an MA in Arts, Health and Wellbeing (looking at how creativity can help wellbeing). She loved to explore the roles that folkore, mythology, traditional stories, history and nature have on wellbeing and community and she loves teaching and helping others creatively explore empathy and curiosity together through art.

Eleanor is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker and performer whose practice explores the spirit of place and human connection to nature. Through her work she seeks to reveal the hidden voices, energies, and histories embedded within the landscape. Based in the post-industrial environment of South Wales, she documents the processes of ecological recovery and beauty of places shaped by industry, now being reclaimed by nature. Alongside her artistic practice, she works as an educator and mountain leader, creating opportunities for people to reconnect with their creativity and imagination through the natural world and their own unique artistic expression.

Info: We'll begin with a welcome ceremony tucked up in the tipi, before embarking on a guided hedgerow walk that will awaken our senses to the whispers of the earth in autumn. We'll explore the folklore and magic of the wild plants connected to the darker half of the year. We'll consider their place in the cycle of life and death, share knowledge of plants that power dreams, connect us to our 'elder' energy, and help us remember our ancestors. We'll enjoy some gentle rituals that encourage connections with the natural world and craft some immunity boosting potions before returning to the fire for tea, waking the warmth with our collective breath and the energy of togetherness.

Info: Bring your own picnic to enjoy as we whip up some little immunity boosting potions together with our foraged treasures!

Info: A healing shamanic drumming session with Amanda from Floral Ark with accompanying Rebozo wrapping by Rachel. Shift awareness, quiet the mind, and invite a deeper connection with spirit and self.

Info: Learn from illustrator Poppy how to rest your mind in creativity - where together we will make natural, interpretive documentations of the wonderful scenery. Let your hand guide you while you draw from the natural surroundings in a meditative state of flow. The goal here is not to become photographers, but to visually express the moment in time we will experience both together and as individuals. We will learn to use not only traditional drawing mediums, but how to use found natural material to express a sense of 'place'. This session is suitable for all creative abilities, for creativity is a key part of our humanity. Let's use this time to celebrate our originality and show gratitude to each other and the beauty of the Earth.

Info: Have fun exploring the process of 'masking up' with film director and artist Eleanor Greenwood.

Info: Our wood-fired sauna will be ready for you to slip in and enjoy an hour of heat, steam and relaxation in the company of wonderful women.

Info: Gather beneath the stars for a sumptuous autumn supper, food to really warm the cockles! As we eat, we listen—being transported into worlds where women have always been wild, brave, and powerful.

Info: As night falls, we bring the day to a gentle yet powerful close. By the fire, we take a moment to reflect on what we are ready to release—whether it be self-doubt, old fears, or stories that no longer serve us. We’ll write these down and, one by one, offer them to the flames, watching them disappear into smoke, into light, into nothingness. To close, we will draw oracle cards, receiving a final whisper of guidance as we step forward into the darker half of the year—bold, burning brightly inside, and deeply connected to our own wild power.
