A 3-Night Immersion for Women Ready to Be Fully Expressed
There is a song that lives inside you.
A voice that knows your truth.
A rhythm that remembers who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and noise of daily life.
โ
Wild Song Women’s Retreat is an invitation to come home to that voice — to soften the armour, open the throat and heart, and reconnect with your body, creativity, and intuitive wisdom.
โ
Held in the deep stillness of the Watagans forest, and aligned with the potent 2026 Lions Gate Portal, this 3-night immersion is designed to awaken expression, amplify manifestation, and support profound inner transformation.
โ
Across three nourishing days, you’ll be guided through voice, breath, movement, ritual, sound, and ceremony — awakening the wild, liberated expression your soul has been waiting to release.
โ
You’ll leave feeling grounded, confident, connected… Singing the song that has always been yours.
THE JOURNEY | What This Retreat is Really About
The Wild Song Practice, created by Elisha Xantaya, sees the voice as more than sound – but as medicine.
โ
Over three immersive days, you’ll be guided into an embodied exploration of:
-
Vocal expression and sound as tools for nervous system regulation
-
Breath as a gateway to emotional release and self-trust
-
Movement and ritual as pathways to creative freedom
-
Play, presence and connection as portals to healingโ
โโ
โYou’ll explore the full spectrum of your voice — its power and softness, its edges and tenderness — gently rewriting old stories around being too much, not enough, or unsafe to be seen or heard.
โThis work matters because so many women carry silenced expression, swallowed emotion, or a lifetime of holding back.
โ
Here, in a supportive, playful, and deeply held environment, you’ll rediscover the joy, confidence and liberation that comes from sounding, singing, breathing and moving freely.
THE EXPERIENCE
This retreat is a living experience of sound, spirit & soul. Guided by Jacqui Rose & Elisha, together we’ll explore:
-
Vocal play, toning & group harmonics
-
Breathwork journeys for release & regulation
-
Daily yoga & somatic embodiment practices
-
Sound medicine & vibrational healing
-
Cacao ceremonies & elemental ritual
-
Movement, dance & creative expression
-
Nature immersion, rest & integration
โ
Each practice is woven intentionally — balancing activation with deep nourishment, expression with grounding, and transformation with safety.
THE LIONS GATE PORTAL
Each year in early August, the Lions Gate Portal opens — a powerful cosmic alignment where Sirius, Orion’s Belt and the Sun converge.
โ
This energetic window is traditionally associated with:
-
Heightened intuition and creativity
-
Truth-telling and heart-centred expression
-
Manifestation and soul-aligned vision
-
Reclaiming personal power and purpose
โ
Gathering during this time amplifies intention and transformation, making it a potent moment to use your voice, speak your truth, and step boldly into the next chapter of your life.
WHO THIS RETREAT IS FOR
This retreat is lovingly crafted for women who are:
-
Seekers of voice, truth, and deep somatic expression
-
Facilitators, healers, teachers, elders & guides
-
Those called to reawaken creativity, intuition & inner song
-
Women ready to move beyond survival & into embodied presence
โ
Whether you are on a leadership path, emerging into your voice, or returning home to yourself — this container meets you exactly where you are, supporting your growth, expression & transformation.
โ
No previous experience with voice, singing or retreats is required. Just openness, curiosity, and a willingness to listen inward.
