Feminine Re-Wilding: Returning
The Third Descent
A 5 DAY IMMERSION IN THE MOUNTAINS OF PORTUGAL
4TH-9TH JUNE 2026
THE REVOLUTION REQUIRES A HEAVY DOSE OF THE RE-WILDED WOMAN
This is the point of integration. The third descent is about the internal marriage and stepping into embodied wholeness as an individuated woman with her instincts firmly intact.
THE CULTURE HAS MISREPRESENTED AND MAIMED THE TRUE ESSENCE OF THE FEMININE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, DEFINING HER SOLELY IN RELATION TO THE MASCULINE AND BY WAY OF PATRIARCHAL VALUES; THE AGREEABLE WIFE, THE DUTIFUL DAUGHTER, THE NURTURING MOTHER.
THE FULL-BODIED RANGE AND RADIANCE OF WOMEN HAS BEEN COMPRESSED INTO SUCH NARROWLY DEFINED ROLES FOR MANY HUNDREDS OF YEARS THAT TODAY THERE EXISTS FEW IMAGES THAT REPRESENT THE DEPTHS OF WISDOM AND VITALITY THAT BELONG TO HER.
THE FEMININE RE-WILDING initiation IS AN INVITATION TO THE WOMAN ON HER QUEST FOR WHOLENESS AND INTEGRATION, SEEKING TO RECLAIM HER SHAMED AND REJECTED PARTS, AND TO BRING THEM BACK INTO BEING.
SHE IS EXHAUSTED FROM CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF HER MASCULINE SHELL, SHE YEARNS TO LIBERATE HERSELF FROM THE CONFINES OF THE CULTURALLY CELEBRATED AGREEABLE ‘GOOD GIRL’ CHARACTER[S] AND TO RECLAIM THE FULL RANGE OF HER EMBODIED EXPRESSION AND WILDISH NATURE.
THIS IMMERSION IS FOR WOMEN NO LONGER SETTLING FOR A LIFE SPLIT OFF FROM HER INSTINCTS, HER PLEASURE AND HER INNER-AUTHORITY. IT IS IN HER ACTIVE WILLINGNESS TO MEET WITH HER UNCONSCIOUS ASPECTS, TO DISSOLVE HER DOMINANT PERSONA-IDENTITIES THAT SHE WILL RETRIEVE THESE EXILED PARTS AND EMBRACE HER FULLEST AND MOST NATURAL EXPRESSION OF SELF.
YOU WILL BE INVITED INWARDS TO A STATE OF DEEP LISTENING AND RESTORATION OF THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE, TO RETRIEVE WHAT HAS BEEN COLLECTIVELY BANISHED THROUGH THE GENERATIONS. A JOURNEY THAT HOLDS UNQUESTIONABLE POTENCY WHEN EXPERIENCED AT THE EMBODIED CELLULAR LEVEL – A WORK THAT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.
OUR ONLY PREREQUISITE IS THAT PARTICIPANTS ARRIVE WITH A SENSE OF CURIOSITY TO DIVE INTO THE FULL MYSTERY OF THE PARTS OF THEMSELVES THEY ARE WILLING TO LET DIE IN ORDER TO BE REBORN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS INITIATION. JOIN US, IF YOU FEEL SO CALLED.
A TASTER OF THE THEMES WE WILL EXPLORE:
THE BODY AS AN INSTRUMENT
FEMININE ARCHETYPES
CREATIVE POWER AND SENSUALITY
THE BODY AS AN INSTRUMENT
WE WILL BE WORKING WITH VARIOUS SOMATIC PRACTICES THAT REWIRE THE ENERGY PATTERN OF OUR BODIES FROM TAKING A MORE RIGID OR CONTORTED AND MASCULINE SHAPE, TO STEPPING INTO DEEPER AND MORE PLEASURABLE EMBODIMENT AVAILABLE TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.
FEMININE ARCHETYPES
THROUGH CREATIVE AND PLAYFUL EXPLORATION WE WILL WORK TO ACTIVATE OUR FULL RANGE OF ARCHETYPAL ENERGIES INNATE WITHIN SUCH, SUCH AS – THE WARRIOR, THE LOVER, THE JESTER, AND SO MANY MORE! STEPPING INTO ALIVENESS AND THE FULL SPECTRUM OF OUR EXPRESSION.
CREATIVE POWER AND SENSUALITY
OUR LIFE FORCE, CREATIVITY AND PLEASURE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER -WHEN WE AWAKEN THESE CENTRES IN OUR BODY AND OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM WE OPEN OURSELVES TO THE WELL OF CREATIVE WATERS ACHING TO BE KNOWN, FELT, EXPRESSED. ONCE WE REIGNITE THIS CREATIVE FIRE, EVERYTHING CHANGES, SHE IS THE FORCE THAT
