Location

We have a gorgeous, private spot reserved in Lory State Park. It’s a mix of shade and sun surrounded by tons of texture and nature.

Bouquet Making

Floral designer Elycia Feldman of Wild Blossoms Studio will guide you through making your own bouquet using fresh, local flowers using her signature spiral bouquet technique and finished in a luxurious double-faced satin ribbon of your choice. You’ll then receive pictures of yourself with your bouquet during your Wild Woman portraits!

Wild Woman portraits

See yourself in a new light as you unleash your inner goddess – barefoot, wild & free – to frolic in nature and bask in the magic of the earth. You’ll experience an empowering mini portrait session by Melody of Melodic View Photography. After the event, you’ll receive a handful of images that capture your unfettered spirit, basking in the power of the shifting season. Click here to get a glimpse of Wild Woman portrait examples.

Breathwork

Quiet your mind and connect with your heart as Renee of Humming Heart Breathwork guides the group through a pranayama breathwork session. With a focus on emotional and physical well-being, Renee fosters a holistic approach that integrates self love, community, creativity, and connection to mother earth.

Journaling & Sharing Circle

You’ll receive a keepsake journal and specific writing prompts focusing on themes of balance, gratitude and letting go of old habits. Find a peaceful spot to dig deep and reconnect with your mind & heart. We’ll then sit in circle and anyone who feels led to share can unburden themselves and receive the support and wisdom of the other women. This is a beautiful way to immerse yourself in sisterhood and feel both held and known by other women.

Ecstatic Dance

Once we’ve bonded and shared, Renee will lead the group in dance. It will be free form, un-choreographed movement set to music. Benefits include releasing stress, boosting mood, processing trapped emotions, improving mindfulness, and fostering a deep sense of community connection as the sun sets.

*Bring a Dress

We encourage you to show off the dress you never get to wear: the one in the back of your closet that you bought because it called to you – without any idea of where you might someday get to wear it. A long, flowing dress works best: one that the wind can play with and the light can dance through will compliment the natural surroundings and elevate your portraits. Solid colors or soft prints & patterns are best so they don’t distract from your face or the natural elements. Melody will also have an assortment of beautiful flowing dresses from her client wardrobe that you are welcome to try on and wear throughout the retreat!
