Wild Soul Walk: a Pilgrimage to Rekindle your Authentic Self

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”  
 

Imagine an experience full of adventure, connection to the wild, ritual, and self-discovery.

Welcome to Wild Soul Walk, a 3 day pilgrimage.

Step into a world where adventure, soulful living and the wild take precedence, connection runs deep, ritual enriches the spirit, and community becomes family. At  Wild Soul Walk, participants and facilitators are seekers and guides of transformation, growth, and profound experiences that leave a lasting impact. 

Welcome to the ultimate gathering of souls seeking the magic of nature, deep connection, sacred ritual, and a vibrant community experience! 
Join us on a journey unlike any other, where the call of the wild beckons you to explore uncharted territories within yourself and the world around you. Forge authentic connections with like-minded souls who share your thirst for meaningful interactions and knowing. Through shared activities, heartfelt counsel, and loving support, you'll find a sense of belonging, understanding, and camaraderie that uplifts your spirit and enriches your journey.

We will be walking the idyllic South West Coastal Path, taking in its beauty and engaging in soul work as we go. Accommodation will be provided  and included in form of campsites, and food and fire and story baked in to our evenings together.

Immerse yourself in ancient rituals and sacred practices that offer moments of reflection, healing, and spiritual growth. Connect with the wisdom of traditions past, tap into your inner strength, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and harmony that resonates long after the event has ended.

★★★★★  "This was EPIC! I would highly recommend it to others. I feel changed from the experience and I feel this is exactly what every person needs in order to start healing their soul"    Emma (from  previous workshop Healing the Family Story)

        Intentions:

Answering the call of the wild: When did you last lose yourself in nature? Or adventure in the wild?

Reverence for the sacred: Practices, pilgrimage and rituals to cultivate deep listening and hear the wisdom of the natural world.

Celebrating in community: Come and be seen and held by others who seek what you are seeking and connect with like minded souls.

Held in loving hands: Facilitators Jen Fox and Dominique bring skill, compassion, respect and experience into each individual journey so that you are never walking alone but always supported and encouraged to lean into your edges with care and support.

That affirmingly stretched feeling of hunger, achy legs and aliveness that comes after a day of walking, to return to fire, hearth, friends, food, story and music.

Most people have long ignored calls for adventure in order to tend their daily lives. This can lead to a lack of intuitive knowing, aliveness,  and a sense that something is missing.  We will hold you and encourage you- the wild walk is designed to both give a feeling of satisfaction- a “hell yes, I did that!” as well as being fully inclusive- This is not a “stomp uphill and sweat till you drop” experience! All levels are welcome, and we bake in rest and recovery, spaciousness and achievable goals for our time together.

We will consciously be making space for our resistance and  take a deep dive into our unconscious blocks around what happens when we do answer the call...

What to Expect
 

Over the days together we will be creatine a safe, held, sacred yet playful container for us to explore the wild together. We will be:

Practicing deep listening offline, in nature, guided by the sea

Discovering rituals to go deeper into our wisdom and connection

Playing with our creativity through story, song, movement

Wild swimming as we walk along one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe

Bathing in Nature in the peak of summer, allowing expression and celebration

Encouraging your capacity for  ceremony giving prompts and inspirations for you to self-create and hold

Sharing circles  you will have time to process, and be witnessed in your  growth

Play and games you will be encouraged to find the medicine of laughter, play and creativity as an anchor for the journey

Walking daily and following guidance following the idyllic coastal path, we will  have time to reflect on our life's journey, follow prompts as we go and come back to our inner compass

Weekend Highlights 
 

Reconnect with your authentic voice

We will be practicing a wholehearted  welcome to ourselves by letting the routine world be on pause and tuning in to who we are when we embrace adventure, nature and community
 

Nature Connection and Beauty

Our intention is to support your connection to the wild and the wilder parts of yourself with invitations, prompts, spectacular beauty and ceremony 
 

Counsel Time

Being witnessed in community is the difference between isolated growth and accelerated, supported growth, shares will be held and honoured and you are given a supportive space to explore your own depths

Ritual work

Tuning into ancient wisdom by bringing intention and the sacred together to actualize our desires, growth and place in the world

Satisfyingly Stretched

This is a Pilgrimage and a Retreat and an Adventure rolled into one. There might be moments of achy legs, of panting breaths, where fire and food feel like small miracles. Our intention is not to overstretch  but for that satisfaction of a big walk, where comforts feel extra heavenly

About your Facilitators

"Dominique is a kind, compassionate, and sensitive healing practitioner. Her knowledge and wisdom never cease to amaze me and her depth and ease at holding a strong, clear space have allowed me to feel safe and held while journeying deep within." (Nic Malin )

DOMINIQUE ANTONINA  is an experienced and qualified practitioner in Emotional Freedom Techniques, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Grief Tending, and Transformational Life Coaching. She has worked in mainstream mental health for the NHS as an activity therapist, and in the realm of psychedelics and alternative healing- for the Synthesis Institute as a ceremony facilitator, and volunteered with Psycare UK and Kosmicare doing psychedelic welfare and harm reduction. 

Her work is deep, inclusive, nuanced, and gentle. She likes to bring a sense of humor and warmth into the unseen parts of the psyche and is passionate about healing in community, not isolation. She believes trauma is as much about a lack of empathetic, skillful support as it is about harmful events and cares about creating more self-love as an antidote to disconnection and disempowerment. The core of her work is helping people come back to self-love as a resourceful way to meet life. She does 1-1 work, group work and holds ceremonies. You can find out more, read testimonials, or book in a discovery call at her website:

“At Fox's Nettles and Knots workshop, she put us immediately at ease as we arrived around the fire. She had a real natural way of leading and it all felt really unhurried and relaxed. She had a gift for inspiring and sharing her joy in plants, telling us about the many uses of nettle and the fascinating folklore around them. By the end of the session it felt like a bonded group. A simple, yet deeply comforting experience of sitting round the fire together and twining string. It felt as ancient as the hills..." Laura Sky Salmon

JEN  FOX is a deeply passionate tender of the land, storyteller and song collector. She is nature connection facilitator whose love and adoration for the natural and more than human world weaves through everything that she does. She has a deep desire to bring people into connection with themselves, with each other and with the natural world, doing this through ceremony, embodied practices and with playful curiosity.

She has led nature connection events and workshops, assisted on the 'Call of the Wild' program and completed year long trainings in outdoor facilitation, a foundation in Art Therapy and a Sensory Herbalism course. She has worked in conservation land management for several years, combining her deep love of nature with a practical way of serving the land.

She brings a calm and gentle holding to her work, a keen awareness of people and a sensitive empathic style. Her background before working in conservation was in supporting people with brain injuries, and assisting on adventure trips such as a safari in South Africa and ski and surf trips at home and abroad.

Please remember…

1. While being in nature, community and ritual is cathartic and healing- this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are seeking therapy then we encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges please contact us in advance so that we can have a conversation about whether this is right for you at this time. 
2. The food will be delicious and simple - mainly vegan and gluten free with some cheese and egg options. Tea and snacks will be available.
3. We encourage you to take the opportunity to disconnect from the outside world, and to fully immerse yourself in nature… meaning AIM TO HAVE YOUR PHONE OFF. We cannot at any point guarantee signal so please make sure you tell loved one's that you will be out of communication for the weekend.
4. You will need your own camping kit for this event - this includes tent, sleeping bag, ground mat etc.  A full list is provided on booking of what you'll need for the weekend.
