The Wilding Escape Spring 2025

Powerful practices to guide you back to your essence

Weaving together the realms & rituals of Spring Magick

Igniting our inner fire, our passion & purpose

Rising with the potent life force of the earth

Reclaiming our magick & power 

A FOUR DAY RETREAT EXPERIENCE OF SISTERHOOD, RITUAL & MAGICK 

The Wilding Escape is my luxury retreat experience where we head to the wilds of the north coast of Cornwall.

The Wilding Escape features all the hallmarks of my award winning retreats… from sacred ceremonies to woodland walks, from cosy fire side chats to shamanic drum journeys. A truly unique experience for any woman looking for something a little different. Something a little non-ordinary.

I have created a sacred space to allow you to deeply connect to yourself, to your sisters and to the land. A haven. A healing space. A space for you to come home.

Sisterhood, ritual and magick lie at the heart of all my experiences.

Please don’t worry if you don’t feel ‘witchy’. I am simply calling in a group of funny, kind, heart-centred women. Women who want to create a little time for themselves. Women who want to create a little magick for themselves.
 

A MAGICKAL EXPERIENCE 

"The Wilding Escape was truly life changing. I felt myself grounding into the earth and seeing everything with fresh eyes from the morning dew to the change in light.

Katy has a very uplifting earthy presence which allows you to feel safe, seen and loved. She very naturally weaves her ‘magick’ and humour into every corner of your heart and soul, I have come away feeling a renewed sense of wholeness.  

The modern house and countryside location are a like a warm hug in itself with lots of natural light and trees surrounding you. The in house vegan Chef created nourishing delicious food which has changed my way of cooking,  I want to continue to nourish myself from the inside out.  There were so many elements from this experience which I will forever take with me.

Words that kept going though my heart while on this retreat were ‘You don’t have to feel unwell to want to feel better’.  I certainly feel uplifted and changed by this entire ‘magickal' experience shared with beautiful souls and the collective joy and laughter has stayed with me"

Honestly, you will walk into this experience one woman, and walk out the other side as another. And you will have a group of wild and wonderful women at your side.

What will we do?

 

plate of hummusThe Wilding Escape is the perfect balance of movement, massage, sisterhood, ceremony and space.

As part of The Wilding Escape, you will receive a deeply healing massage, movement & breath-work sessions and three delicious & nutritious meals each day.

You will have full, intimate access to me as I weave my magick, wisdom and experience through every touch-point of the retreat. With my unique blend of wild know-how and practical how-to, I will help release blocked energy, help let go of fear, move your heart into softness, open-ness and receiving-ness so that you will feel aligned and ready to move forwards.

You get to walk the ancient land… oh the land. The energy in North Cornwall is wild and dramatic. Soft, beautiful and really quite moving. The hidden dips and valleys, the moss covered stone, the cascading waterfalls, the legendary castle of Tintagel and Merlin’s Cave all add to the magickal atmosphere and energy of this old, sacred land.

We have an exclusive visit to the breath-taking waterfall at St Nectan's Glen. We will take the wild woodland walk along the banks of the River Trevillet – a silent pilgrimage amongst the ivy clad trees, moss covered stones and ancient slate steps hidden by ferns. Once we reach the top of the valley, we will gather where the water flows through a circular hole carved into the stone and drops into the clear pool below. 

The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic… is just a few miles away. Need I say anymore!

And there is plenty of time for you to explore the enchanting woodland walks or to head to the coast for a little cold water swim. Or you may decide to stay cosy by one of the many fires. The weekend is all yours.

A BEAUTIFULLY CURATED EXPERIENCE

"I can’t begin to explain how special The Wilding Escape is. This retreat was everything I had wanted, needed and more.

Katy has a true gift for bringing together women and making them feel at ease with themselves and each other. We felt connected. We talked, we moved, we sang, we created, laughed and journeyed together, held all the while by Katy.

The whole weekend was beautifully paced and curated. We had time together, time alone and it never felt rushed or forced... everything was, somehow, just right. 

The vegan food by the gorgeous Gilly was some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had, I loved every morsel, we all did!

The flowers, the smells, the sounds, the thoughtful touches everywhere, it was clear Katy had really thought about every aspect of this amazing retreat. A meaningful, enjoyable, relaxing and memorable retreat.

I will truly cherish my memories of this time with Katy and the other wonderful women I met.

Katy is a special soul, I can’t recommend her unique offerings enough- she is, quite simply, amazing. I will definitely be booking another retreat with her soon!

WHERE ARE WE STAYING?

firepit outside with benches and stone surround

sunrise over house

Our home will be a stunning and lovingly restored 18th century barn, tucked away in the wild countryside on the north Cornish coast.

The space is simply beautiful…  the interiors have been beautifully restored and brought to life, creating blissfully tranquil spaces in gorgeous-hued loveliness. With under-floor heating downstairs and two wood burners, this is a stunning escape for us to rest, restore and replenish.

The house is built in gorgeous Cornish stone, and I always find these beautiful greys and blues hold quite a masculine vibration to them. I love the idea that we will be held within these walls, that we will be held safely in this space, that the very walls will allow us to feel what needs to be felt, will hold us to see what needs to be seen. That the walls will hold us, for us to simply be the feminine that flows through the space.

Perfectly, there are two outside places for a little fire magick. The gorgeous open fireplace on the terrace just outside the kitchen is an ideal setting for journaling under a pile of blankets and The Scrape at the bottom of the garden is surrounded by a stone circle.

The power of sisterhood

"I have come home to myself. I never really understood what sitting in circle with sisters meant. And how powerful that can be. Katy's ability to hold space for women to be themselves, to be heard, to be seen, to be accepted, to be loved, to be honoured for who they are without question and without judgement is testament to the gifted and magical being that Katy is"

About Katy

I am a wild woman. A wise woman. A healer. A magical mentor. I am The Wilding Witch.
 
I am a talented mentor with 24 years leadership experience in creative businesses. I have managed large agencies, clients and projects at a senior level. I am heart-led entrepreneur with my own product and services business. I am a solo Mother, with love and thanks to an anonymous donor.

I have helped hundreds of women rediscover themselves, reconnect with the cycles of the seasons and unearth a beautiful way of living with their wild & wonderful hearts.


I am deeply connected to the land. I deeply believe and feel the ancient law of life, the living flow of energy and I find such sanctuary in the fields, the streams, the hills and the trees. I understand the flow of energy and how we can attune to it and work joyfully with it.

I am here to unlock your wild and wonderful heart. I am here to open your heart, to move you into a space of receiving and to awaken joy, love, hope & happiness deep in your soul.

The Wilding Retreat is my signature retreat. This is the coming together of my knowledge, my experience, my wisdom and my craft - and I am very excited to open such a beautiful space for you.

 

THE WILDING IS CALLING

Every moment is a treat

I returned to The Wilding Retreat for a second year in a row and was thrilled that it was everything I remembered and more. Katy has a signature embrace that is hard to describe, the sort of hug that makes everything else melt away.

The retreat itself is utterly exquisite, from the food, to the massage and all the welcome gifts. Every detail is high quality, classy and enjoyable.

On both retreats I have accessed a level of rest and replenishment that is so hard to carve out of normal life, making space for much magic and inspiration to flow through.

Thank you Katy, you have a gift for gathering. Gathering women, gathering twigs, and gathering love. Every moment in your company is a treat.

A LITTLE NOTE FROM KATY

Dearest Sister

Curating and creating sacred spaces for women and holding them in my earthy magick is absolutely my purpose in this life-time.

My medicine is to create warm, beautiful and transformational spaces for women.

My medicine is to create a safe space to replenish you, to rest you and to restore you.

My medicine will activate you at a soul level and initiate a transformation within your blood and bones.

My medicine gathers the right women at the right time to come together in sacred circle to share, support and simply be. A sisterhood that will continue beyond the retreat experience.

Sister, are you ready to join me?

Quick sticks... places are extremely limited, you will not want to miss the opportunity to join this transformational experience.

I am really happy to have a call to see if this retreat is right for you... simply email me and we can get together on Zoom this week.

Love & twigs

A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC

"I light the Wellbeing Crystal Candle every time I have one of those exhausted end-of-day baths, and the gentle scent immediately makes me feel relaxed. Fifteen minutes later I'm all recalibrated and centred."
