Elemental Woman 2025
Sat 26th July - Sat 2nd August, 2025
Totnes, Devon
A tender-brave week in community to liberate your elemental woman!
Leaning into our wild and wise womanhood to connect more joyously to ourselves, each other, nature and spirit.
A fully-inclusive, life-changing journey from £600 for the whole week.
Through the week we will be exploring our 'yes', our 'no', our shadows, our light, our struggles, our gifts, our capacity to experience pleasure, our edges and our comfort zone. We will dance with our wild woman. This can be challenging work, but that's where the growth happens!
“A retreat of amazing self-care, love, feminine power, beauty, vulnerability, laughter, medicine and fun! I highly recommend this retreat! It was full power, held with such gentleness, care and love. You will meet beautiful people, build a community, be held by epic space holders and come away having learnt so much and in a bubble of love! I can say whole heartedly that I have come away a better person and it has catapulted me into improving and changing my life even more than before. Becoming better for myself and those that I love. Going on this retreat is one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

Why come?
“I think the best experiences in life can’t be described. They are deeply felt and become part of the fabric of who you are. Treasured and timeless. Only you will ever know their magnitude and meaning. My retreat with Megan was this. My body is open, heart is centred, my mind is expanded and my soul is soaring with knowing. Immense gratitude… and if you feel called to join one of Megan’s retreats (I was, and I had never met her!) I encourage you to heed the call” - Nina, Somerset
To meet our different parts with curiosity, to connect to the richness of our bodies and the deep wisdom that can be found there, to unlearn the bullsh*t and remember our truths, to question single-stories of ‘woman’ and step into the full-fat version of ourselves, to touch into our unique gifts and the profound power of community.
This will be a loving yet courageous space for you to be held and explore your edges.
Who is it for?
The group is open to all those who identify as a woman. Unfortunately the site is not accessible for those with certain physical disabilities - please contact Megan to discuss further.
Taking part in this retreat requires adequate mental and physical health to be self-responsible within group processes; we are all facing the horrors and joys of life and your whole self is fully welcome, but do get in touch if you have any concerns or questions.
“It was like we were learning all the things we should have been taught in school! Also, the space I had to release, process, heal, cry, speak, feel - I wasn’t expecting this. I honestly healed parts of me I didn’t know needed healing and released emotions/traumas I didn’t know were there or needed releasing - a huge thank you for that and the safe, beautiful space provided” - Jess, London
The Space
When not in the shala, you can enjoy the chill out areas with sofas and bean bags, peaceful gardens or the sauna. Only a short trip away is the colourful town of Totnes and the River Dart, ideal for wild swimming. The retreat space is surrounded by the glorious Yeoland, with altars to the different elements across the landscape.
The Support
I will be leaning into my experience of holding space for people for the last 15 years, including working with severely traumatised people in my NHS role as a clinical psychologist, running workshops and retreats, delivering training and supervision, and teaching yoga.
Izzy will be assisting the retreat, who brings a wealth of experience from their time working in community mental health and domestic violence settings, as well as being a yoga teacher. Our masseuse is TBC but will be a trauma-informed practitioner. Shell will be serving up three delicious meals a day, plus snacks and drinks. You can see her incredible creations for our last elemental retreat here. Already drooling thinking about being fed by her each day again!
The retreat is not a space for individual therapy, but attendees have found the journey over the eight days and the loving-holding of the group to be deeply therapeutic and transformative.
“There are so many things to say about this retreat, it operates on so many levels – but it's one word, transformative, that runs through my thoughts. If you can go, you should grab it with both hands. I wish I'd experienced this retreat as a young woman too, it would have transformed my life sooner. None of it is easy; but just to be, to feel at home in a safe group of women, who will listen to you and tell you of their own experiences, opens up your mind like a flower. It makes you feel less alone, less small, more powerful as a woman; and who doesn't need that in this world?” - Gill, Chester
A fully inclusive eight day adventure from £600 (flexible payment plans available).
Are you feeling the call? We would LOVE to welcome you in to this circle of curiosity, compassion and ceremony! You are so welcome, as you are. Contact us with any questions, or see you there!
With love
Megan & Team
