Dear Wild Woman,
This gathering is for you. 
This gathering is for all of you who hear the "call of the wild", the whisper within the heart that says "awaken to yourself and to a life worth living". It is for you if you are yearning for a deeper understanding of who you are before anyone else told you who and what you should be. It is for you if you want to have a safe place to explore what your authentic self feels and look like. It is for you if you want to have time to connect with nature, the land and like minded women. 
We will be gathering for a whole weekend, learning about the Wild Woman archetype, gathering in circle, dancing, taking part in ceremonies immersed in nature at 'The Nameless Dean' near Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders.
 

ELEMENTAL

"Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit."

The intention for WWG 2024 is to awaken to the elements within ourselves through shamanic practices, ceremony, yoga, dance, sound and breathwork.

This weekend, I invite you to journey back to our primal roots as we embrace the wild woman archetype and connect with the four elements. We will tap into the energy of the earth, water, air, and fire and explore how they relate to our inner selves. Each element holds its own unique energy and symbolism, and by connecting with and honouring them, we can tap into our own wildness and embrace the essence of who we are..

Embrace your wild woman spirit and let the four elements guide you on this journey of self-discovery. Let us honour and celebrate the power and magic within us all.

WHO IS THE WILD WOMAN?

The Wild Woman archetype is a powerful and ancient symbol that has been present in myths, stories, and cultures across the world. She embodies the untamed, primal, and instinctual aspects of the feminine. Often associated with nature, intuition, and fierce independence, the Wild Woman represents a liberating force that encourages women to break free from societal constraints and embrace their authentic selves. 

The Wild Woman archetype is about connecting with the deepest, most authentic parts of ourselves that have been suppressed or forgotten over time. She is the embodiment of our raw, instinctual nature—the part of us that trusts our intuition, celebrates sensuality, and embraces the self completely without shame. In folklore and mythology, the Wild Woman is often depicted as a primal, untamed force of nature. She is connected to the wilderness, animals, the cycles of the moon and the earth, she is also connected with her inner moon cycle (menstrual power) . She dances under the stars, howls at the moon, and listens to the whispers of the wind. Her strength lies in her ability to move through life with courage and a fierce sense of freedom, unapologetically embracing her true essence.

 
My vision for the weekend is to come together to enjoy ourselves, celebrate sisterhood, our wildness, to create deeper connection with ourselves, nature and like minded women.

Pollyana might best be described as a transformational guide. She works with individuals and groups helping them to access their personal power, to deepen their connection with community, with the land, and ultimately with themselves. She is a passionate yoga teacher with 18 years of experience. She is also trained as a Shamanic Practitioner, Sound Healer, Reiki Practitioner (and a few other things), and offers monthly Cacao and Ecstatic Dance with her husband in the Scottish Borders. At the moment Pollyana is fully invested in bringing back to life a 150+ years church hall in Selkirk to make it her own studio. 

Ali Taylor is a yoga teacher, reiki Trainer, spiritual life coach and a intuitive healer. Connect with Ali on facebook: Rainbow Warrior Wellbeing and click here to go to her website.

Elaine (or known by her Shamanic name Skyfire) is a contemporary shamanic, reiki, sound and Ilahinoor practitioner. Originally from Ireland, now based in London, her lineage traces back to the Tuatha De Danann, (the folk of the Irish Goddess Danu). Her healings are deeply transformative, relaxing and powerful. These include soul retrievals, shamanic extractions, power animal retrieval and energetic healing at a deep level.
