About the Goddess Retreat
This year, 2026, carries a special energy. A momentum.
In numerology, 2026 is a 1-year (2+0+2+6).
A new start. A fresh beginning.
It also holds the working power of the number 8 (2+6), giving us an opportunity to make things move, to bring dreams into form.
We will work with this alignment and gather in the 8th month, August, and on the 8th day we step into ceremony.
With unique women. With YOU.
Women are asked to be and do so much in our society.
We are expected to work and hold families.
To grow older without aging.
To strive for physical perfection while still loving ourselves exactly as we are.
We are treated like small men and placed into a million tiny boxes.
Try to box up the feminine, and it grows wild. It grows fierce.
It is time to release ourselves.
To remember how we empower each other in sisterhood.
Let us howl to the moon and dance around the fire (with or without a witch hat).
JOIN US THIS AUGUST!

Intention
We gather at the fifth turning of the Wheel, in the realm of the throat.
This is the place of voice, truth, and honest expression.
The place where what lives inside you longs to be spoken.
In a small and safe circle of women, we slow down and listen.
Through yoga, breath, song, and silence, we soften what is tight and awaken what is ready.
We sweat in the sauna, rest deeply, eat well, and let the body feel held.
Rooted in European pagan tradition, we journey with the drum, sit in circle, and enter ceremony.
We remember that the voice is sacred.
That power does not have to be hard.
That softness can be strong.
This retreat is a return to your own rhythm.
What will you gain?
○ A better understanding of the energetics during the Lúnasa time period.
○ How to work with the body, mind and spirit in a period of manifestation and alignment.
○ Visualisations and tools to connect with your inner goddess.
○ The grounding effect of participating in ceremony.
○ A weekend of recharge in a too-busy society.
○ The magic and strenght of gathering in sisterhood.
○ A sacred meeting space for likeminded souls.
○ A deep connection to the land, the seasons and your own inner rhythm.

Wild Gatherings for Wild Souls
At RE WILD we follow the spiral of the year, the solstices and equinoxes, the dance of the moon, and the old Nordic and Celtic calendar. We offer a guiding hand on your way back to your place in nature, your re-wilding journey.
Following the road from our ancient Indo-European roots, we walk the path from yoga into deep connection with our own soil through European spirituality. Our approach is deeply animistic; we honour the nature beings, the old gods, and the universe that is within us and all. We work with ritual and ceremony, the sacred drum, and the secrets buried in our spine to free ourselves and come home.
We welcome you to journey with us.

About Ellen
Ellen is a teacher, guide, and facilitator with a deep love for mythology, song, nature, and the old stories of Europe.
Through RE WILD, she creates spaces rooted in the lunisolar rhythms of the year, Norse and Celtic pagan traditions, and the wider tapestry of Indo‑European spirituality.
Her work brings together ritual, song, storytelling, and connection to the living world.
Living between science and mystery, she has come to feel most at home in the borderlands, where old traditions still have something to teach us today.
Meet the Team
Seva during
this retreat:
This spot is not taken yet. Feel called to contribute? We take applications.
Seva spot
Seva comes from the Sanskrit root sev, meaning “to serve.” In yogic tradition, seva is selfless service given without expecting anything in return. It is part of Karma Yoga, the yoga of action, where everyday tasks become a living practice of awareness, humility, and care for others.
At each retreat, there is one Seva-spot. This place is for someone who feels called to contribute a small part of their time in service to the group. That person can join the retreat for a strongly reduced price.
Do you feel called to take the Seva-spot on this or another retreat? Please take contact with me! We are looking mostly for photo&video skills.
FAQ
What's a ceremony?
"Ceremony brings the sacred into ordinary life. We navigate change and welcome new cycles. Performing ceremonies creates a bridge between the material world and the world of the unseen."
We will perform an accessible series of actions and mindfulness, but we will give great metaphorical meaning to these by performing them in a sacred circle. We will create a save container for ourselves and each other. By doing so we open ourselves up to acknowledge the reflextion of nature's cycles in ourself.
What language will be spoken?
A mix of English and Norwegian.
What kind of food will we be eating?
Because of the nature and intention of the retreat,
will be be eating healthy vegetarian and vegan food.
We happily adjust to any food restrictions or allergies you might have. make sure to let us know!
What if I have never done yoga before?
Even though the classes have special intentions. they are suitable for beginners.
As long as you keep an open mind and listen you your body, you will do just fine.
