Re-wilding the Feminine is a 3-day, 2-night journey for women to lean into the true embodied essence of their feminine souls.
Surrounded by the wild flower meadows of The Gathering Fields, in the heart of Lancashire, we will connect with the most raw, the most wild, the most free parts of ourselves.
Lovingly and masterfully held by the years of experience of Katherine Crawley and Rae Frost, this will be an experience of deep feminine embodiment.
As you step into the sacred space of Women’s Temple, there are no shoulds or should nots. All is welcome as we gaze into each other’s eyes, speak into the longings of our hearts and surrender to the gentle, loving touch of another, remembering those hidden places within.
Temple is a fluid space, but expect to practice, amongst others, women’s yoga, dance, breath, somatic touch, embodied flow and deep relaxation.
The magical meadows and woodland of The Gathering Fields will hold you in a space in between, a space of deep un-doing, a space of sacred connection, a space of true re-wilding.
If there is a tingle somewhere in your body, as these words land, then this is a space for You.
This is a family run location with a deeply nurturing energy.
Accommodation is in simple, lovingly kept nest bunks with a shared bathroom.
Arrival is at 3pm on Friday and departure is at 6pm on Sunday.
Cost is £300 and early bird rates are £275
Payment plans are available 
To confirm your space beloved, please email Katherine on [email protected] or Rae on [email protected].
