Sisterhood birthed this vision
We have bled besides each other
we've held hands through heartbreak
danced through grief
We've met our edges
laughed till we roared
shed till we softened.
-
Sisterhood has been our mirror and medicine
Revealing our wounds we never asked to carry
and the strength we never knew we held
-
Wild bones is born from this bond
from years of walking barefoot through the wilds of this earth and our souls
of unlearning the stories that kept us small
and learning how to hold space for the raw feminine to rise in all her forms
-
This is a space for women who ache to remember
the power of being held in sisterhood
The beauty of us just as we are
and the fires and stories that live in our bones
-
Come and gather around the fire
Dance your way back home
come to be witnessed, to witness
to be held and to hold
-
To reclaim your place in the circle of wild, wise and wonderful women
who are rising
strong and fierce
open and loving
wild & free.
-
Come as you are,
& leave with a fire in your belly
a deep connection with your womb
and an unshakable knowing in your heart
that we are wild & free.
.We Are Women.

Because to choose this path of rewilding and breaking patterns that have been carried for many many generations isn't easy, but together it's so possible.
Who are we?
Anouska Zankhana
I am so excited to welcome you on to this land for this gorgeous gathering. A gathering of women who are ready to dive deep and who dare to reclaim their fire.
I am an embodiment coach, inner child therapist, red tent creator, workshop host, women's retreat facilitator and so much more. But more than any of that I am a messy, raw, wild woman. I wasn't made for capitalist gain, and i certainly wasn't brought all the way here to play it small or continue to play out patterns that no longer serve me or this delightful planet we live on. I am here for fullness, aliveness, eros, connection, deep pleasure and also to be a change maker, a wild, unhinged, chain breaker.
When we gather as women and connect to ourselves, the elements and each other, we become the revolution. Empowered, connected to source, plugged in to our womb - women I believe we can change our world, but first we come home & surrender to ourselves.

Arabella Kasler
It is an honour to hold this retreat on the land i call home, a place rooted in the mission of paving new ways of being.
For me, central to this is the call to return home to our bodies, to joy, to earth, and the power that lives within us when we remember who we are & rise together.
I have spent the past 7 years living & breathing communal life across the world - an experience that has shaped & initiated me into a space -holder who leads with depth & rawness.
I am a dance embodiment facilitator, artist, community weaver, communication facilitator and deeply enthusiastic about feeling unapologetically alive. Central to my mission is releasing inhibition through dance, reclaiming beauty through body acceptance, and healing the sisterhood wound through true connection. I believe there’s a reason society teaches us to stay small and separate- because our power together is revolutionary
Breaking free from those cages and reclaiming our full spectrum wild and wacky selves is the ripples i wanna see spread out into the world
I am here to guide women back to themselves, not through perfection, but through play, permission and presence. This is my invitation for you to step into the untamed, expression and widely beautiful home that is your own body.

Arabella and Anouska met in the wonderful lands of Australia 7 years ago.
We met in a warehouse community of around 30-40 humans where we shared a bed in a room with 10 others. We all ate together twice a day, we shared our skills, we sat by the fire in the evenings, we held cabarets, we celebrated each other and became family.
This community changed both of our lives forever. When winter hit we headed up north to live in a makeshift women's camp in the bush by the ocean. We lived in a tent here for months. We cooked on the fire, we swam in the ocean daily, we had silent mornings for our individual practice, we sang together, we shared stories, we held ceremonies & workshops together, we became wild, feral and free. When we parted ways we stayed in contact and kept that fire alive in each other from afar and when we reunited we knew our unique shared experiences had shaped us forever.

Once you experience this level of freedom within you, nothing can strip you of this.
Once you remember your wildness and connect to your truth as a powerful woman, no one can take that from you.
These 4 days will be a deep dive into ourselves to reclaim the parts within that are fierce, wild and free & simultaneously soft, squidgy and tender.
Vulnerability and courage go hand in hand. Wild Bones is about being seen and loved for it all & celebrating our cyclical ebbs and flows.
Deep in our bones our ancestors DNA resides. When we tune in to our skeleton, the very thing holding us up, our strong, holding bones, we can hear their call.
