Dancing Forest Sisterhood Retreat
5th- 7th September
Haslemere, UK

You are invited...

The ancient forests of the South Downs are calling us in. Calling to us to remember who we are.

Come and re-orientate your life to the rhythms of the Great Cosmic Mother.

Do you ever feel that you’ve lost yourself in the rite of passage from maiden to mother or mother to matriarch, unable to feel the edges of who you are?

Do you have urges, desires, creative needs and feel like they crash up hard against being constantly available for your children or other people? 

It was women’s sacred space that got me through this era.

The silence, the singing, being seen and witnessed, seeing and witnessing other women. Sharing our stories, holding each other, dancing together and having a safe space to let our raw, wild essence out.

So seven years ago I started the Dancing Forest Sisterhood Retreats.

The Dancing Forest Sisterhood is a subversive culture where women are free to be their wildest selves, to re-devote themselves to the Great Mother and their spiritual practice, and to experience great, giddy waves of delight and play. 

Ritual, Play, Connection, Delight, Rest

Schedule

We will gather together early on Friday evening for dinner, and a welcome circle. We will hold a sacred circle and our hearts will meet and swoon over each other.

Saturday will be the perfect balance of nourishment for our bodies and our creative souls. We will share our stories, we will ritual together (I hereby declare ritual a verb), we will breathe life into our creativity. And we will eat delicious vegetarian food provided by an in house chef. 

In the evening we gather around a feast to celebrate our re-emergence as our most sacred, devoted and playful selves. 

On Sunday morning we will continue to ritual, move, create and share before a parting feast.

"The Dancing Forest Sisterhood was gently curated by Lucy with an overflowing abundance of love and a desire to explore what it is to belong both to yourself and to each other. The way Lucy holds space allowed everyone to feel seen in the way that they needed and we were welcomed in all our parts, journeying over the weekend with a shared hope to meet both our dark and our light and to come out more accepting of ourselves than when we began. I felt seen, held, loved and like I truly belonged in all of my parts over that weekend. I think it is truly one of the first times I have let myself be unconditionally loved for being exactly who I am and not feeling like I had to present a certain way or that I had to perform to gain approval or love.

This is for you if:

"The experience made me fall in LOVE with being a woman, other woman and all things Feminine. I felt held, loved, heard, stretched, cared for and seen. I witnessed the healing POWER of the Divine Feminine pour through each of the woman amplified by our love and togetherness. We danced in the moonlight, sang under the trees, swam naked in the river and celebrated each other around the fire. This experience filled my cells with love, my soul soared with joy. This retreat is The best gift I could ever give myself or any woman. Lucy expertly led us with trust, gentleness and love. The experience of the retreat has overflowed into my life, improving relationships, pathed pathways to new friendships and new levels of self love."

Hi, I'm Lucy

Meet your rewilding guide

I am mother to two daughters, a life and business coach and author of Moon Circle, one of the first guides to creating sacred women’s circles ever written. I’m also neurospicy, a raver and a rebel and host women’s retreats around the world.

More importantly, I am a devotee of the Great Mother and am in my most happy place when I am gathering women together so we can reveal our wild edges, sink our toes into moss and adore each other!

"The retreat felt like a powerful remembering of what it is to be a woman. I had never felt a sense of sisterhood before and now I feel it every single day. I have never felt so much joy, enlivinening, peace and growth in one weekend. It is no exaggeration to suggest this retreat is life changing. It’s felt like walking through a doorway into a deeper understanding of my true self! I am a happier and more grounded person because I chose to follow a “whim“ and sign up for this retreat. Turns out that whim was a divine calling. If you are wondering about following your own whim I encourage you to do so, with all of my heart."
