Gifts For Wild Women

'Gifts For Wild Women', 1st and 2nd July 2017

a Wise Women's Wisdom Weekend

with Robin Clayfield from Australia


A weekend for women to be together with an experienced facilitator and a sacred circle of other women exploring growth, sharing, support, healing, creative processes, fun, music, dance, ritual, ceremony, freedom, gratitude, passion, empowerment, nature connection, surrender, relaxation and regeneration.

This has been designed to be a very special weekend. We would like to ask all participants to be present when we begin at 9am on Saturday morning (8am onwards for registrations). We will finish up by 5pm on Sunday and feel it is important that everyone can stay till the end.

The program has been created to assist and guide participants through a series of facilitated processes and activities which help people connect more deeply with themselves, with others and with Earth. We will be exploring our wildness and our wisdom. We will be working and playing with love and care for ourselves and each other. We’ll go deep together into places where maybe we’ve not been before. We’ll share and have fun while also taking time to relax and be alone.

This will be a full, interactive, guided adventure which we are excited to share with you. Thank you for your interest. We invite you to step more fully into your own wildness and wisdom with Robin as your guide.
