“It was like doing months of therapy in the space of four days, with the bonus of delicious food, connections with brilliant people, and a stunning destination.”

True Nature Retreats are a place to unleash the wildness within, and come home to your inherent wholeness.

Set in the rugged mossy landscape of Dartmoor, surrounded by rivers, forest and hill tops, this truly wild and magical land offers an opportunity to discover new levels of intimacy with nature, supporting you to step into a world of restoration and profound transformation.
Our Approach

The Art of Women's Retreats: Reclaiming Your Wild Nature
Our women's retreats blend embodied connection to the earth with profound personal development, guiding you towards an inner and outer revolution.
In the heart of Dartmoor's ancient landscape, True Nature offers transformative women's retreats that go beyond traditional wellness experiences.
We balance the excavation of shadow work and trauma healing, with playfully celebrating our humanness through lightness and creativity.
Our approach to spirituality is one rooted in earth based wisdom. We are always in conversation with mystery, whilst not taking ourselves too seriously. Humour is the key to any spiritual endeavour.
“Challenging, nourishing, playful, and rooted in compassion and authenticity.”- Munizha
The Essential Ingredients of Our Women's Retreats
Every True Nature women's retreat weaves together:
Group inquiry and authentic sharing
Embodiment practices and movement
Deep nature connection experiences
Ceremony and ritual
Emotional release and catharsis
Creative expression and play
Nestled among rivers, forests, and hilltops, each women’s retreat offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self through:
Deep Nature Connection
Every women's retreat harnesses the raw power of Dartmoor's landscape. Morning river dips, wilderness exploration, and fireside gatherings create a profound bridge between modern life and our ancestral wisdom. As one participant shared, "I arrived a stressed, disconnected person and left spiritually connected with myself, my sisters and the land."
For our most in-depth nature immersion, check out Wild Woman Camp Out.
Embodied Transformation
Our women's retreats incorporate movement, ritual, and somatic practices that unlock deep healing. Through expertly crafted experiences, you will discover new levels of self-expression and emotional freedom.
If you’re a newcomer to women’s work we suggest you start with Awakening the Wild Woman - our longest-running women’s retreat. If you’re after something wilder that offers radical transformation across all aspects of your life then try The Wild Woman’s Way - our 8 day programme working with archetypes.
Sisterhood
At the heart of each women's retreat lies the power of authentic connection. We create powerful spaces for vulnerability, celebration, and shared growth. Our community becomes a catalyst for lasting change, with many participants forming lifelong bonds that extend far beyond the retreat.
If your longing to find your people and become part of a flourishing community join The Women’s Fire - this is our year round membership where we meet for ceremonies and women’s circles every 2 weeks. Each September we hold an in person retreat for our members; The Women’s Fire Gathering
