Wild & Holy; The Wellspring

WILD HOLY BEING,

YOU ARE INVITED TO

💦 Wild & Holy; THE WELLSPRING 💦

12th November ~ 16th November at the Springhead Trust in Dorset

An invitation to embrace ourselves as the One Water;
Wyrd, Wild, Holy, Whole.

Welcome to the second Wild Holy Ways gathering, four nights in a circle of 55 Sovereign Womb Bearers
in the spiral descent between Samhain & Winter Solstice; journeying with the energies of Friday 13th & the delicious dark.

A collective remembrance of the many flavours of the feminine, 
the holiness of devotion
and the untamed wild ways
weaving the wyrd tapestry of (un)becoming & belonging.

As woman, we are vessel;
for truth, love & liberation,
beauty, pleasure & creation.
 

When we each drink of the wellspring and offer the wellspring of our wombs & hearts, 
back to the waters, to source, what whispers do we hear?

We will be in the emergent enquiry of our collective orientation towards aliveness. To be deeply nourished.
A deep listening through sense~ual beingness, to the current of the Wellspring, anchored in the Wild Holy Ways.

Nourishment. Eros. Myth. Creation. Embodiment. 

"Beautiful, profound, held, connected, nourished, expanded. Taila and Vieve have created something incredibly special. It was a blessing to share the weekend with so many open-hearted sisters. "
Suzy - Wild & Holy; The Immersion

Pulsing from the core of the earth, through the core of your body, flows the Wellspring. 
This is the wellspring of your own nourishment, to drink of the wild holy waters, and to offer back to the source that sustains us so we may swim together in the ebbing & flowing current of creation. 

All whilst anchoring into the supportive field of togetherness, creating & cultivating deep friendship; to see ourselves reflected
in one another. Remembering the art of reciprocal relationship;
to earth
waters
womb
& womben.

Crafting bonds of sisterhood that ripple into daily life.

Together we are cultivating the truth of our lives & embodying the way we wish to live them –
through Love, Joy,& Gratitude
in Deep Pleasure & Devotion.

“This is one of the best retreats I’ve ever attended. The thought, care, and attention to detail were extraordinary, every moment felt intentional and infused with magic. The gathering of witches, artists, and mystics who were called to this space was an absolute delight to share the weekend with. The offerings were rich and beautifully curated, as was the land that held us. I leave feeling nourished, tender, and full of hope for what’s yet to come.”
Lucy - Wild & Holy; The Immersion 2025

The Flow

We will gather in the evening to open in circle around the fire.

Friday 13th ~ Forbidden Fruits 
Feminine Mythteries Sense~ual Immersion
Feast with and for the primordial goddess who intimately knows that pleasure is her birthright.

Saturday 14th ~ Weaving the Wyrd
A tapestry of each unique essence
Woven in presence, truth & emergence. Here, we listen to the current.
With space for being with that which stands between us and the capacity to fully taste the present moment, to fully embody & be in-body. Be that through grief, rage, shame, guilt, fear, numbness. Allowing our Wyrd expression to take up space.
Create, craft & cuddle.

Sunday 15th ~ Prayerformance & Gifting Ceremony
Our prayerformance is a taste of the prayers carried in our circle - to witness & offer space to the ways that life force flows in each individual. An invitation for any woman who feels the call to be fully witnessed & received in a piece of their prayer. 
No perfection needed, just presence.
The Gifting Ceremony embodies a tradition of reciprocity. May we walk into this new cycle, carrying a gift from the heart of a sister. Please bring a gift from the heart to share.

Monday 16th ~ Singing the Spring Home
We will gather for a final water blessing circle with song so our prayers may ripple onwards & our togetherness may flow through your being as you follow the currents home.

The Setting

Nestled in nature, alongside flowing waters, at The Springhead Trust in Dorset. People have been called to the waters at the site of Springhead since ancient times. The waters carry story and song of our ancient grandmothers, of the rocks, plant and animals who have encountered their flow. They call for our presence, listening and remembrance. 

With 2 Ceremonial Workshop spaces, Dining area, Lounging library & Cosy Craft Den, Sauna, Private gardens, Sacred Fire & swimming stream; there is plenty of opportunity to choose the area & offerings which feel most nourishing for you.
Prepare to settle in and get cosy. 

Accommodation
Housed within organically nurtured, historic grounds; our shared & private rooms invite an energy of ‘slumber party’ and deep rest as we allow ourselves to be supported by the structure of all of our needs being met so we may be fully nourished.

Hearth Tending

We are remembering the centrality of the hearth, the fire at the heart of the home. To honour this and to support our little village, everyone will be invited to participate in hearth tending during our gathering. Embodying a ‘chop wood, carry water’ ethos, collective response~ability. Every contribution is vital to the smooth running of our home.We are moving into community from consumerism. Practicing reciprocity.

We’re not attempting to ascend, we’re re-sanctifying the flesh.

Finding magic in the mundane, tending the simplest earthly delights.

Imagine chopping and chatting,
filling water urns,
cleansing and cleaning,
bringing beauty to our spaces,
refilling loo roll,
making offerings,
tending what’s needed.

‘It takes a village’; WE are the village.

Who is this for?

Wild & Holy; The Wellspring is for those well practiced in emotional regulation, who have encountered many flavours of their range and do not fear their sensuality, emotions & depth. For those who have dipped their toe in the inky waters of the feminine and wish to submerge deeper in circle with those bestowed the gift of life in female form.

A gift that may at times have felt like a curse. 
A curse no more. A reclamation.

WOMAN. 
WOMB-AN.

Womb carrier in the full depths of her; beyond the conditioning & culture that has tried to dictate what we may be. A reclamation of the female in all her forms, in all her facets; welcoming each alchemical archetype in every expression & embodiment.

Rooted in truth, reciprocity & right relationship.

This gathering is one to be with an expansive sense of woman, womban ~ being bestowed life with womb, yoni & a vessel capable of birthing new worlds. A space that shatters whatever ideas we have been given by the patriarchal, colonial culture of ‘woman’ & ‘femininity’, instead revealing and offering a remembrance of deep feminine wisdom, cyclical ways and wholeness. And so that we can be multifaceted warrior womb-kin, women, womb clan in our time together and relationships moving forward.

***you are also welcome here as a non-binary womb babe, bleeding or menopausal being, or woman no longer with physical womb. It is likely that the language of ‘woman’ ‘sister’ will be used throughout this gathering, and this may not feel true or resonant to your expression. There will also be a focus on female pleasure anatomy; yoni/p*ssy ~ breasts, & the cultural conditioning experienced by those who grew up as good/bad girls.

We invite you to find the ways to express yourself, and play in the space of label & form, and the nameless essence of you that feel true. And we also invite your self-responsibility to choose if this space is appropriate for your current journey.

If you feel a desire to be with us, but some hesitation based on this, we’d be so honoured to hear you, connect & explore what you may need to feel welcome.
 

Mothers & Children

We honour the importance of Mothers in our society & our culture. We recognise the magnitude of this role & how vital it is to create space for mothers to have opportunities to be nourished. We are committed to learning
This space, this time, with the Wellspring is for you too mama. 

Babes in arms are welcome…
We encourage Mothers with young babes to attend. We invite you to express your needs, feel met within them & soften into the safety & supportiveness of an ‘Auntie’ culture.
Toddlers and above…
We ask that you make alternate childcare arrangements so that you may drop into full presence and receptivity over the weekend.

Sovereignty & Accountability 

We ask that you are sovereign in your choices - everything offered over the weekend is an invitation not an obligation. 
Listen to your body, your boundaries, your desires & your needs; please honour them.
You are responsible for your experience & how you journey through this gathering; please make choices from love & that bring you joy.

We also want you to note that while this work may have therapeutic benefits, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. 

Some of the content shared by participants in sharing circles may be triggering or traumatic in nature. This gathering is designed to create a space for us to be open and honest with each other about our experiences, as we explore some new and uncharted territory. Sharing and listening is an important aspect of this, and can support the process of transformation, by simply being with what is.

While we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with, or you are concerned about any element of this gathering please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat on the phone and check in about whether this space is right for you at this time.
