From the outside, a retreat might look like a relaxing getaway — yoga, nature, nourishing meals, maybe a massage. And while those elements are beautiful and real, the deeper magic of a women’s retreat can’t be captured in an itinerary or Instagram post.

It’s what happens behind the schedule — in the quiet moments, the unexpected tears, the bursts of laughter, the long exhales — that holds the true medicine.

We have been hosting multiple retreats a year for the last decade. And what we know for sure is that when women gather with the shared intention of healing, something ancient awakens.

The Container

At Wild Souls Yoga, we design retreats with intention — not just to escape daily life, but to return to ourselves. These aren’t performative spaces. They are containers of truth. The kind of sacred space where masks can drop, stories can shift, and we can feel the ground beneath our feet again.

From the moment you arrive on retreat, you are held. Not just by us as the facilitators — but by the collective presence of women choosing to be seen, choosing to soften, choosing to show up as they are.

The Conversations

Some of the most profound moments don’t happen on the mat on retreat. They happen by the fire. In the kitchen while making tea. Or on a hike between workshops.

We talk about what’s heavy. What’s holy. What we’re unraveling and what we’re reclaiming.

The real work of a retreat is less about doing more — and more about remembering what matters. We tell the truth. We listen deeply. And in doing so, we mirror each other’s courage.

The Healing

Healing doesn’t always look like light streaming in. Sometimes it looks like sobbing in child’s pose. Sometimes it looks like resting when you’re used to running.

We create space for grief. For joy. For breakthroughs. For deep stillness. For belly laughter.

We move our bodies not to fix them, but to feel them — to come back into relationship with the sacred terrain within.

The Transformation

Women don’t leave our retreats as different people — they leave as more themselves.

The truth is: you already have the wisdom. The power. The clarity. A retreat is just a remembering. A return. A sacred pause to clear the noise and listen inward.

And when that happens in the company of other women doing the same?
That’s alchemy.

This is what really happens when women gather to heal:
We come home to ourselves. We rise in each other’s presence. We reclaim what we forgot.
And we carry it back into our lives — not as something fragile, but as something fiercely alive. We would love to have you on retreat soon. 

Much Love,

Kristin + Lisa
