 The Invitation

Join us for a mystical weekend of sisterhood, connection, ritual, and play as we celebrate Beltane – a time of fire, fertility, and joyful renewal. Together we’ll honour the turning of the seasons.

Held on the sacred wild land of Exmoor, with sea views, valley walks, and a trail leading to the meeting of the sacred waters of Watersmeet, we invite you to the Call of the Wild Retreat. Exmoor it a night sky reserve so the nights are dark and the stars shine bright 

Here, you will encounter a weave of sacred rituals: water, fire, movement, drum, cacao, and community. Allow the wild to rise within you, expand through the cracks, and remind you of your power.

 

 The Wild is calling. Will you answer?

Meet Your hosts- 

Laura has spent the past eight years walking her own path of transformation through holistic healing, finding clarity of mind, lightness in body, and a deep awakening within her soul.

She is a Reiki Master Teacher, Somatic Journey Practitioner, Grandmother Ceremonial Cacao Weaver  and trained Sound Healer, also holding a National Diploma in Care and a Diploma in Mindfulness. Her work weaves together somatic movement, sound, crystals, breath, energy, and ritual to gently release trauma and open space for profound healing.

Laura does not see herself as a teacher, but as a guide — walking beside others as they reconnect with their own innate wisdom and power to heal. Each session, circle, or retreat is guided by intuition, ancestral wisdom and shaped around the unique needs of those present.

Through her studio, workshops, training, and retreats, Laura creates safe and inclusive spaces where healing can unfold naturally, in rhythm with the cycles of life. She believes healing is not linear — it is a journey of flow, remembrance, and return. 


Megan is devoted to guiding women back to the wisdom of their bodies and the sacred cycles of the Moon, Earth and Womb. She is a Ceremonialist and registered Moon Mother®. She has trained in Embodiment & Dance Facilitation, Womb Energy healing and Reiki. 
As a Womb Priestess, Megan walks with reverence for the feminine mysteries, offering grounded, heart-led support for women to reclaim their sensual, creative, and cyclical nature. Her work is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to awaken the divine feminine codes within.
Through embodiment journeys and intuitive movement, she supports women in unlocking their inner radiance, releasing stagnant energy, and expressing the truth held deep within their bones. Each of her offerings are a tapestry of ritual, movement medicine, and sacred space, woven to nourish the feminine soul and ignite personal power.
Megan also shares the wisdom of Pagan traditions, folklore, and the Wheel of the Year. Through story, seasonal insight, and simple ritual, Megan guides women to reconnect with nature’s cycles and their own inner rhythms—exploring how ancient wisdom continues to speak powerfully into modern life.

About the Land 

The retreat will be held on the land near Lynton and Lynmouth, rising above the valley where sunrises and sunsets are truly spectacular. At night, the sky is dark and sacred, preserved to reveal the brilliance of the stars part of the dark sky reserve. 

This land holds ancient wisdoms and wildness, a place where we can reconnect with the natural world. We will return to Watermeet, nestled in ancient woodlands within the deep gorge of the East Lyn River, where it meets the Hoar Oak Water, a place of natural tranquillity.

 

Along the paths, we may encounter wild creatures such as red wild deer, herons or dippers, reminding us of the magic and vitality of the wild.
