SATURDAY, MAY 30 | 10AM - 5PM | GILMOUR, ONTARIO
It's Time...
Come back to the part of you that still knows how to feel joy.
The part that notices beauty.
Finds wonder in the smallest moments.
Moves with ease, simply and naturally.
Rekindle the spark of joy that's already within you.
You’re invited to step out of the noise and into something simpler… lighter… more alive.
​
Through breathwork, movement, creative exploration, sound, and unhurried community, we’ll create space in the body — and gently reconnect with what’s been quiet or set aside.
​
This is a day for:
• Softening out of constant doing
• Releasing what’s been held
• Reconnecting with your body and senses
• Remembering joy, play, and awe in simple ways
​
Not pressure.
Not performance.
Just a return to what feels natural — from the inside out.
Is the Wild Wisdom Retreat for you?
This day is for you if you’ve been feeling:
• Overwhelmed, stretched, or like you’re always “on”
• Disconnected from your body or running on autopilot
• Like joy and play have taken a back seat
• In need of a reset — physically, emotionally, or mentally
• Craving space to breathe, move, and reconnect
• Ready to feel more grounded, open, and present
​
You don’t need to be experienced with breathwork, cacao or retreats.
You only need the feeling that your body is ready for something softer… and more supportive for you.
​Do you want (and need) to reconnect with joy, play, and a deeper sense of yourself?
This day is designed to gently open space in the body and nervous system — creating room for more presence, ease, and connection.
​
A blend of guided practices and grounded, intentional moments woven throughout the day.
​
You’ll be guided through:
• Conscious Connected Breathwork
• Somatic movement and embodied exploration
• Creative expression and simple moments of play
• Sound and rest for integration
• Space for connection and community
Your Facilitators
Sharon Black and Selena Bruni are co-creating this day as a space for women — a place where you can breathe, move, and return to yourself in simple, natural ways.
​
A space to explore, to soften, and to reconnect with the vibrant presence of joy, play, and awe.
​
Together, we’ll guide and support you through a day of embodied experience, playful exploration, and grounded connection in community — with deep respect for your pace, your season, and your inner knowing.
What to Expect from WILD WISDOM
What to expect from the Breathwork Journey
This is a guided breathwork experience designed to open space within the body.
​
Sharon will lead you through a breath-led practice, supported by music, that invites both release and reconnection — creating room for more aliveness, sensation, and presence.
​
You’ll be guided with full permission to listen inward, following your own rhythm and allowing the body to respond in its own way.
​​
​​
What to expect from Movement + Play
You’ll be invited into guided movement and open exploration, supported by music and simple somatic invitations.
​
This is a space to move without needing to “get it right” — to follow impulse, soften out of structure, and reconnect with a more natural sense of play.
​
An opportunity to explore, notice, and experience the body in a lighter, more curious way.
​​
​
What to expect from Creative + Playful Moments
There will be space throughout the day for hands-on exploration and actively identifying where play and joy can re-emerge in daily life.
​
Moments to engage the senses, to create without outcome, and to reconnect with the small, often overlooked experiences that hold both joy and awe.
​
Nothing to perfect. Nothing to produce.
​​
Just space to notice, soften, and play in the simplest of ways.
​​
​
What to expect from Sound + Rest
Selena will guide you into a sound-based experience for grounding and integration.
​
A space to rest, receive, and stay connected to sensation — allowing sound to be something you notice and feel within the body.
An opportunity to settle, soften, and experience a sense of calm, presence, and quiet awe.
​​
​
What to expect from Connection + Community
Connection will be woven gently throughout the day.
​​
Moments to share, listen, and be in the company of other women — with space for laughter, authentic expression and emotional expansion, each held with intention and reverence for the journey.
​​​

Food
A nourishing lunch and snacks will be provided to support your day of rest and renewal.
