• “Darkness offers an intelligent stillness that fills and tills our psyche in a manner both difficult and beautiful. Let us dwell in darkness. Instead of the luminous as a measure, we can turn with more nuance to the numinous. See the dark. Be awake in its ancient cradle.”

    Lyanda Lynn Haupt

What is night rewilding?

It may feel counterintuitive, but night is feminine… In both Eastern and Western traditions, the female aspect of nature is connected to darkness and night.

Night has a special potential and resonance for women, in part because it is a ‘forbidden’ space. Have you ever explored, meditated or walked alone in the woods at night, just for the sake of finding out wha it feels like?

Night rewilding is the practice of engaging intentionally with the ‘night self’ ~ through night solitude in nature.

    Night Experience

    During a single evening experience, I guide a small group of women in an intentional and soulful night voyage.

    The evening culminates in an opportunity to dwell ‘alone’ in the woods while supported by the presence of other nearby women.

    It is a psycho - spiritual practice. It is both soulful and psychologically enriching. It is unusual terrain and takes the nervous system into safe challenge, thereby building resilience.

    In night wilding we connect with nature and self in a very different way ~ we see things differently.

    Rewilding Retreats

    On retreat, we have more time to delve into archetype of the great mother ~ earth, darkness and night.

    Past events have explored the divine feminine the balance of day and night and yin and yang.

    During the retreat experiencing yoga, sound healing, conservation education, and land craft are all part of the creative connection with awakening awareness of night.
