Dear Women, 

 

Welcome to  a Oxytocin Dream, a web of wild women, a deep breath and spiral inwards and down to earth and your roots… Welcome to…

 

Nourish & Nurture 

A Full Day Women's Retreat

29th November 2026 

 

I know life has been a lot recently. Here is a gift to you all for staying strong through this storm…

Welcoming all Women 

 

Are you needing a moment to nourish your soul & nurture you body? 

( 18+)  Babe in arms welcome- We invite you to ask a partner, friend, lover, family member to support and tend to your bubba if possible so that you can fully drop in, if this is not possible, your bubba I am sure will bring their own magic.)

This is a gathering for women, this is a nourishing, expansive, nurturing day retreat, this is a homecoming, this is red thread activism. 

This is awakening us to our power and the potency and necessity of us coming together- to anchor deeply into our bodies, our beings, our truth and sisterhood, to be the change we wish to see. 

 

 Who is this for? 

This nourishing day is for you. 

It is for the women who;

… Simply need to rest

… Crave the village 

…are overwhelmed, infuriated, raging, shocked and passionate about the state of the world we live in. 

… know the power women hold when they gather intentionally

…wish to gift themselves a day of nervous system support, regulation, nourishment, nurture, rest and connection

…understand that our bodies need oxytocin to thrive - This day is inspired by this hormones needs. 

…will not let patriarchal structures dim their light or make them forget their inherent worth.

Does any of this resonate?…

 

 

This is for the Women who

…Constantly give and need to put it all to rest for this one day and simply receive

…are experiencing burn out and need deep nourishment.

…know in their bones that ritual and ceremony are missing from our everyday life.

…know their nervous system needs to TLC.

…crave sisterhood and connection where perfectionism and masks are left at home and we meet fully and wholly in the deepest depth of raw connection

…want to drop into pleasure and softness and allow their bodies to melt like butter instead of clutching and contracting under the weight of it all. 

… feel you have been living in a mans world for far too long and know its time that changed. 

desire change and understand your capacity to hold and advocate for yourself is key. 

 

 

WOMEN

 

We welcome grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and lovers.  

We welcome those with autoimmune issues, disabilities, those who are holding it together and those who have felt so damn alone. 

We welcome the village. 

We welcome you.


 

Intention

 

I trust in the butterfly effect, I trust in ripples and chain reactions, I trust in women gathering, I trust in the ever unfolding mystery which reveals itself when we are in deep listening. I trust we are channels and when well resourced, nourished and nurtured and deeply connected, we can shift worlds. 

….

So we start small, we gather. 

This isn't about taking on the weight of the world. 

This is about inner safety, inner calm, truth, embodiment, connection and deeply anchoring into yourself again. 

This is about letting yourself put down the weight you've been carrying and allowing the circle to witness you in this softening. 

This is about tending to yourself with reverence and care. 

The main focus of this first gathering is on supporting your body, your health, your nervous system and hormones

In a world which contains many toxins that disrupt all of this it is our duty to self to take the time to replenish and tend to our most basic needs before trying to pour from an empty cup. 

 

Wild Bones Retreat 2025

 

So, what does oxytocin need? 

….

Connection, comfort, depth, stillness, talking, opening, vulnerability, belonging, movement, sisterhood, touch… all of which we will bathe in for the day - just as they would have in the red tents.

Devotional Touch Ritual 2025

  In a world which is so fast paced we mustn't forget ;

 

-That stillness brings clarity - 

Their weapon is teaching us that productivity = worth…
Our antidote is stopping the hussle, sitting with what is and remembering another way. A cyclical matraichal way. 

 

-That rest is essential - 

The pace we live at has never existed. We aren't broken, we are trying to live at 100x the speed of our natural rhythms and the most brave thing to do is say f**k no, and rest. 

 

-That in boredom magic is born-

In the moments of nothingness, when we fully stop and have nothing on our mind, when we stop searching for something to fill our time, we stop scrolling, reaching for distractions - this is when the magic can reach us, the messages, the guidance, the bliss, the reason for it all. 

 

-That our bodies can only hold so much when we go at it alone-

Trying to keep up with the news, politics, best water source, best food source, corruption, who to trust, who not to trust, how to get by… all by yourself will weigh on you far too much. When we hold it together, it's possible and gives space to deepen so much more into the truth and balance it out with beauty, love and connection.

 

-That out bodies are our guide and our wombs our anchor -

We hold the answers within us, we don't need to complicate it. 

 

‘Welcome to Womanhood’ - Initiation Ceremony 2025

 

This retreat is a returning home to one self... 

 

Because our sensitivity is our gift, our birthright and our superpower.. And through numbing, hustle culture, being shamed and medicated for our intuition, deep feeling, deeply knowing and attunement to the unseen ... we've lost our connection to our deepest senses that anchor us in to body, earth, truth and our pleasure .. and in a time where the world feels a lot it would feel easier to stay numb and checked out. However I trust when we come together we expand our capacity to hold and know the truths whilst simultaneously opening ourselves to more joy, more pleasure, more depth and an unwavering connection to ourselves and the divine.

Your Host

Anouska 

 I am an Embodiment and parts work guide whose background is Embodiment counseling, Cyclical living, Inner child therapy, Parts work and Trauma informed care & counselling. I have been holding ceremonies, events and retreats for 7 years and am the creator of The Red Tent (A travelling red tent for women) I am passionate about supporting women back to their power. 

Through ceremony, deep listening and witnessing, shadow work, exploring sacred sensuality, tantra and connecting deeply to our inner child & to our cyclical womby nature I continue to witness women deepen their relationship to themselves and their aliveness. I have and am still meeting new expansive, alive and juicy parts of myself everyday and so very grateful for all my mirrors. My intention is to create a super nourishing container for us to come together and fill up our cups through connection, meditation, stillness, movement, touch, delicious food and with many tools which I will share to help support our bodies and our nervous systems to thrive. 

This is the red thread movement.

This work has called to me for many years. To hold ceremony for deep remembering that we are one heartbeat, one thread to weave one tapestry together. We are alive in a time of great awakening and change and also of great suffering and pain.

 To hold these polarities without numbing or dissociating means we have to do it together. We have to return to the village and allow all that is not working to crumble, this takes many deaths and rebirths internally and will take us bravely stating our needs, boundaries, dreams and visions. To come home to ourselves is to come home to our power and our missions. 

The mission to ripple to all missions is honouring ourselves, our bodies, our wombs, our sisters, our children, community and the land we stand upon. 

it starts here.

 

Laughter is medicine

 

Fast paced practicality has stripped us of Beauty, Magic and Art. 

This retreat is held in the gorgeous Angel Hall in south Devon where beauty is honoured as a human need and not some afterthought. This day retreat is a gift to yourself or possibly a gift for a friend, a sister, a mother, a lover, who deserves a day of beauty, nourishment, care and connection, Because I truly believe witnessing and feeling beauty is a human need. Devon is home to some of the most outstanding beauty in England.

Location & Address sent after booking. 



When we gather we are sitting in prayer for our future ... 

A world that is thriving 
Equality is at the core 
Matriarchal system
 Children safe
 Women honoured
 Elderly respected
 Everyone initiated guided and held in community and tribe
 The land is tended to with care
 The waters protected and running clear
The air is clean
 The indigenous lead
 Justice has been served

 We are all Nourished & Nurtured.

 


 

Women are sense-ual alchemists 

 

we sense the world beyond the seen
 we sense the ripples moving through the lands and although right now there is deep grief and pain there is also the undercurrents.. 
we sense when the mycelium net work the red thread is strengtheing and when a new foundation is being built underground that not everyone yet has felt... 
We can sense something unwavering returning... and yet to hold this new world emerging, we need to hold ourselves and nurture our beings to set the new tone.

 

 


 

This is the Red thread. 

This is women remembering. It is the witches. It is the psychics, it's is the oracles who come together knowing that something is beckoning them inwards and down, to spiral deep into their own depths to meet their most vibrant, erotic, alive selves. Together we find ourselves, we find safety in our bodies, we nourish ourselves, we tend to the parts screaming for attention & we hold ourselves as we descend deep into our earthly core to be able to show up as the change makers and create the ripples we know we are here to make.
