Tarot, Yoga and Meditation Retreats, in Albury Wodonga

It is natural right and good for women to ‘retreat’. It’s also really good for men.

Time away from normal life activities and responsibility has traditionally occurred for women in alignment with their moon cycle. The ‘time out’ provided an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with the self and regenerate on all levels. Likewise, pagans have always gathered together to celebrate and honour the earth, to express gratitude for the bounty of the season that has passed, and to welcome in the new. This nature based, life affirming approach is at the core of each Soulful and Wild gathering, circle or retreat. There is always nourishment for body, mind and soul.

This year, our retreats are in line with the Celtic Wheel of the Year and the timing is aligned accordingly. We will gather on or close to the dates of the greater sabbats - the sacred days that honour the cycles of nature, energy and spirit. They will take us on a complete journey through the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Starting with Imbolc in August 2026 and completing with Samhain in May 2027. This series of half day Retreats offers tools to clear your energy channels, deepen intuition, enhance physical health and strengthen your connection to Spirit through the changing seasons. You are welcome to attend just one or two, or attend all and travel with me for the full turn of the wheel.

If you wish to attend all four of the half day retreats, you can book them in one hit here, by clicking on THIS LINK.

    Early Spring

    Sunday Aug 9th 2026

    9.30am - 12 .30pm

    A half‑day retreat to gently awaken from winter’s quiet, clear stagnant energy, and plant fresh intentions so your intuition and body can grow with the returning light.

Through specific yoga sequences, with breathwork, and meditation, you'll nurture the small flame of new growth within and clarify what is quietly emerging in your life.

    Wear loose comfortable clothing and bring your cards, journal or notebook and a pen.

    A half‑day retreat to pause at the first harvest, honour what you’ve grown so far, and recalibrate your energy, boundaries and focus before the next season begins.

    Lammas marks the gathering of the first harvest—a time to acknowledge growth, give thanks for the fruits of your efforts, and honour what has matured through the year's journey. This retreat supports integration of inner and outer harvests, gratitude practices, and discernment about what to carry forward into the next cycle.

    Samhain

    Deep Autumn

    Sunday May 2nd 2027

    9.30am - 12.30pm

    A half‑day retreat to gently release the old season, honour ancestors and the wise Crone within, and prepare your body, heart and spirit for the next turn of the wheel.

    Samhain marks the beginning of the dark half of the year—a sacred threshold when the veil between worlds is said to be thinnest. This half day retreat supports you to release what no longer serves, listen deeply to your intuition, and honour ancestral wisdom as you set intentions for the inward season ahead.

    Movement, Breathwork, Tarot, Meditation and more. Wear your loose comfortable clothes.
