Wild Woman Rising - Women’s Workshop
Part of the Forbidden Path – A Series of Women’s Workshops
18th - 20th September 2026
with Amiya & Fiona
For women ready to return to the wild wisdom of the body — with instinct, sensuality, and full permission to feel alive.
Untamed – Sensual – Sacred
There is a woman within you who has never stopped longing to be fully alive.
She is sensual and instinctive, creative and wild. She knows that pleasure is not a luxury, but a pathway back to aliveness
This weekend is an invitation to return to her.
Through movement, ritual, dance, somatic practices and womb connection, you’ll be invited to reconnect with the natural, sensual intelligence of your body and remember what it feels like to truly inhabit yourself.
Together we will journey with the elements of Water and Fire.
Water will guide us into our feelings, our flow, our softness and sensuality….helping us melt what has become guarded or numb within us.
Fire will guide us into passion, courage, expression and aliveness….helping us awaken the spark of desire and embodied freedom.
We will meet the archetypal energies of Lilith and Kali, the serpent woman and the ecstatic dancer. Experiencing these energies not as myths, but as living expressions of feminine life force, erotic innocence and creative expression.
This workshop is about reclaiming the part of you that delights in being alive, that can receive pleasure without guilt, and feels beautiful from the inside out. The part that longs to move, breathe, soften and belong fully to herself.
Held in the beauty of Gaia Yurt at Leela, surrounded by nature, you'll be supported by the elements, by sisterhood, and by a carefully held container where your body can safely unfurl.

Redirects to Workshop Angel
During this weekend we will:
Awaken your sensual body through movement, breath, touch, dance and embodied practice.
Reconnect with desire, not as something to chase, but as a compass pointing you towards what brings you alive.
Explore pleasure as a healing force that nourishes your nervous system and reconnects you with yourself.
Experience body painting as a ritual of honouring the body as sacred, and an expression of our soul. There will be the option to paint onto naked skin, using colour, symbol and intention as a way to meet ourselves with tenderness, curiosity and celebration. Everything is an invitation, nothing is expected, and you remain fully in choice throughout.
Meet Lilith, Kali and the serpent woman as guides into feminine freedom, instinct and embodied wisdom.
Soften into receiving, allowing yourself to experience more beauty, nourishment and aliveness.
Be seen in your own sensuality by other women, and discover that you can be witnessed there and still held, in a space of celebration and sisterhood.
Leave feeling more connected to your body, your sensuality and your authentic feminine expression.
Develop a deeper trust in your body's wisdom and natural instincts.
Begin to free yourself from layers of shame that have dulled your aliveness or disconnected you from your desire.
“The space held by Fiona and Amiya felt very caring, nurturing and supportive. There was clearly a great deal of body wisdom held by Fiona, and her beautiful, calming voice was very helpful when dropping into the body.”

Threshold – Earth – Rebirth
(Standalone – 2 nights · £330)Here the threshold is crossed. This weekend awakens Earth: grounding, boundaries, body truth, stability, and the first shedding of the old identity. Through ceremony, emotional release, ancestral clearing, shadow work and embodied boundaries, we enter the underworld of the Forbidden Path — the place where women remember who they are beneath conditioning.
We address shame, guilt, unprocessed rage, silence, and the inherited stories from mothers, grandmothers and patriarchal lineage. This is where you meet the woman you were before you were shaped: instinctive, earthy, honest, clear. You will be held through elemental ritual, body-based healing, earth grounding, and practices that prepare your system to hold more life force.
During this workshop we will…
Walk a full threshold ritual of release
Work with earthing practices for grounding & boundaries
Explore ancestral shame, guilt & suppression
Activate emotional expression & somatic truth

Untamed – Sensual – Sacred(Standalone – 2 nights · £330)
There is a woman within you who has never stopped longing to be fully alive.
She is sensual and instinctive, creative, wild. She knows that pleasure is not a luxury, but a pathway back to aliveness, and that your body is not something to overcome, but something to trust.
This weekend is an invitation to return to her.
Together we will journey with the elements of Water and Fire.
Water will guide us into feeling, flow, desire, softness, sensuality and surrender….helping us melt what has become guarded or numb within us.
Fire will guide us into passion, courage, expression, instinct and creative power….helping us awaken the spark of aliveness, desire and embodied freedom.
Through movement, ritual, dance, somatic practices and womb connection, you’ll be invited to reconnect with the natural sensual intelligence of your body and remember what it feels like to truly inhabit yourself.
We’ll explore body painting as a ritual of reverence and reclamation, honouring the body as sacred, expressive and deeply our own.

Authority – Fire – Truth
This is the Fire weekend — boundaries, clarity, leadership, voice, inner authority. After entering your wildness, we now refine it. Sovereign Woman stands tall in her truth, speaks clearly, and reclaims the power she once handed over to others. Here we work with unprocessed rage, control, empowerment, embodied boundaries, communication and leadership.
This is leadership not as performance, but as presence. You will learn to stand on your own feet, reclaim your ability to take space, and speak with precision and integrity. Through fire ritual, voice work, power reclamation, and tree-rooted embodiment, we awaken the inner queen and leader.
During this workshop we will…
Practice embodied boundaries & clear communication
Reclaim unprocessed rage in healthy expression
Work with Fire: desire, leadership & sovereignty
Strengthen self-regulation without external reliance
Explore voice, visibility & the sacred “no”
Unwind patterns of shrinking or over-boundarying
Reclaim inner leadership & embodied authority
Use nature (trees, earth) as allies for empowerment

Stillness – Insight – Discernment
(Standalone – 2 nights · £330)
This is the Air & Ether weekend — intuition, clarity, ancestral listening, and deep stillness. After the emotional, sensual and fiery territories, we now enter the quiet that reveals everything. This workshop includes silence, meditation, council work , breath, intuition activation, shadow integration, night-time nature rituals, blindfolded visioning, earth-burial practices, and listening to the land.
This is where the feminine elder comes online — the woman who sees truth without fear, speaks only what is essential, and trusts her inner knowing completely. Here we integrate the journey so far and begin to sense what our medicine might be.
During this workshop we will…
Drop into deep stillness and intuitive states
Engage in blindfolded vision quests and listening rituals
Work with night nature practices & sweat lodge (if permitted)
Explore Air: voice, discernment, creativity
Integrate shadow and wisdom with care
Receive ancestral insight & heal conditioning
Recalibrate the nervous system toward spaciousness

Spring 2027 — with Tarisha & Louise
Radiance – Offering – Purity
(2 nights · £330 EB)The final workshop completes the Forbidden Path — the return to Eden as a woman who now chooses the apple consciously. Gifted Woman is where your medicine becomes visible. This is the weekend of radiance, purity, elegance, sensual innocence, and sacred offering. Through creativity, ritual, expression, ancestral honouring, nature listening, and visibility practices, you will discover the gifts you’ve hidden — and the courage to share them.
We explore pleasure as purity, visibility without shame, embodied offering, and the subtle feminine power that blesses by simply being. This is not about becoming a healer — but about recognising how you naturally heal, inspire, and uplift when you stop hiding.
During this workshop we will…
Discover your unique medicine & feminine gifts
Explore visibility, expression & embodied radiance
Engage in pleasure, purity & sensual innocence rituals
Work with creativity, voice & movement
Listen to nature for guidance on your offering
Reclaim gifts hidden by shame or conditioning
Participate in a completion ceremony
Return to the Garden as the woman you’ve become
