Finding Your Own Inner Ritual ~ A Workshop by Livvy and Chrissie
What is the purpose of ritual? The purpose of ritual is to mark a moment or a time of importance. Firstly, this starts with creating some time for yourself, and in this time you can find out what you need to do. You may need to honour something or someone, let go of something or someone, acknowledge a life change, or find some healing or courage. How we honour and mark this moment is what we will explore in this workshop - finding what’s important for you and finding the expression of ritual that is purely yours.

Wild Women Retreats ‘Summer Village’
Despite this ‘sabbatical’ year; as Wild Women, we still feel an instinctive-need to come together to share sisterhood, community, and beauty. As human-animals, we all carry a biological expectation of welcome and connection. It’s inherent to our nature to want to exchange of ourselves; through laughter, food, creativity and ritual. With this in mind, the Wild Women Retreats ‘Summer Village’ is proudly born. Set in a beautiful, tranquil valley in West Dorset, close to the Jurassic Coast, Litton Cheney is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Rich in prehistory and singing with spirit, the valley is at it’s most beautiful in the early summer. We will gather on Friday evening for beautiful food and a ceremonial opening before we set the scene for our weekend of celebration and connection. Each morning there will be yoga with Juli Moran, and song, sharing, intentional art and craft, ritual, meditation, laughter and magic. On Saturday evening we hope to gather together on the beach for ceremony and swimming (if the Sun and Sea allow, and swimming optional!) as the sun sets over the water. We will say goodbye on Sunday afternoon.
