WOMEN'S RETREATS | AERIAL HAMMOCK | PRIVATE CLASSES | SOMATIC | HEALING
dear wild woman...
Ground, connect and rewild yourself at our beautiful Hertfordshire retreat. Here is where deep rest meets inspired awakening, inviting you to connect with mother nature, heal and reveal more about yourself and invite the wild woman within you to come out to play...
REWILD
Our beautiful Hertfordshire retreat, peacefully nestled on lush land in Borehamwood is housed in nature, where you can unleash your wild woman and engage with the earth, test your limits in our wood fired yurt, and find freedom, reflection and calm in the wilds.
Rediscover a sense of wildness, enhance your well-being, and find balance through practices that foster a deeper connection with nature and your own innate instincts.
RERESH
Our surrounding woodlands are your backdrop for ceremony and solitude where you are invited to rejuvenate in our wild spa - sweating it out in our sauna, taking a cool swim in our natural bio pool, and taking in the breathtaking views in our tree top meditation net 50 feet off the ground up a 500 year old oak tree.
RECONNECT
Our Wild Women retreat takes you on a journey of the senses where you'll go full circle through the spectrum of emotions. We have to feel it to heal it! Expect belly laughs, releasing cries, intentional silence, healthy physical, mental and emotional challenges, and lots of support and love from your fellow wild women and dedicated retreat hosts.
replenish
Foodies will be very well looked after here as each of your meals has been carefully selected to satisfy and nourish your body, mind, and soul. Ingredients, (where possible) are locally sourced, seasonal (many grown on the land itself), plant-based and absolutely delicious, and you will leave craving them for days after.
All of your meals are cooked and served from scratch on site by your own personal chef and include dinner, breakfast, lunch and dinner again before you leave us. Healthy and moreish snacks, teas and coffees will be available throughout your stay as well.
RESTORE
And when the sky dims and the stars emerge, you'll retire to your bespoke private, cosy, insulated and heated sleep pod, designed not just for rest, but for deep, earned recuperation.
Here you will find blissful solitude in your surroundings, but with the comfort of your retreat sisters sleeping next to you in their own respective sleep pods, with the peaceful sounds of nature as your background playlist.
JESSICA ASHBY
Ground Based and Aerial Somatic Healing • Master Trainer • Sacred Space Holder for Women
Jessica Ashby is led by her heart and inner calling to hold sacred spaces where women can be unapologetically themselves, safe to explore holistic and ceremonial practices that heal and reveal their divine feminine and evoke the wild woman within.
With over 15 years of teaching and facilitating and a deep commitment to lifelong healing and learning, Jessica is a grounded and compassionate guide.
Through her extensive training and personal practice in women’s circles, aerial yoga, Pilates, breathwork, creative expression, sound and voice activation, meditation, womb healing, consensual conscious touch, and somatics - and through years of working alongside masters in these fields, Jessica offers a harmonious and intuitive blend of these practices to support profound personal transformation in the women she works with.
Jessica was raised in a spiritual family and was introduced to meditation and different cultural traditions from a very young age. She spent most of her childhood and teenage years training as a figure skater, where she developed a strong foundation in physical, mental, and emotional discipline, as well as expressive movement and a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology. These early experiences have had a profound and lasting impact on her practices today.
Jessica’s passion lies in people and in how we heal through connection to ourselves, our bodies, and each other. Having spent her own childhood and teenage years navigating hidden emotions, she now lives with greater confidence, calmness, and compassion - one day at a time.
Jessica brings a deeply intuitive, nature-led approach, guided by the seasons and cycles of life. Her holistic background and life experience allow her to create nurturing, empowering spaces for women to connect, heal, and grow.
Her lifelong journey through somatic experiencing and holistic healing has equipped her with powerful tools to help herself and other women reconnect with themselves during life’s challenging seasons, and to truly thrive in the more abundant ones. Sensitively honouring the dance between the two, and all that's in-between.
Jessica’s women’s retreats and the spaces she holds are more than events, they are medicine for the many women who come.
"Our retreats are transformative for all who attend, (including me!) and I am so honoured to hold space for every woman that co-creates experiences with us as we journey together learning from each other. This is my soul work."
RETREAT GUEST REVIEW
"I just got back from going to one of my favourite retreat experiences of all time - wild water swimming, sound baths, somatic movement, cacao, silence, stillness, tree hugs, happiness, wooden huts and the most special of wild women sisters. And that was just the first 12 hours!
Taking time out to put on my own oxygen mask and disappear off the the woods to refresh recharge and rekindle with the romance of putting my self in the hands of someone else for 36 hours at a retreat space I’ve always dreamt of in my head but didn’t know existed in Borehamwood, Herts 10 mins from where I live / grew up!
As I said to my boyfriend when I called him from the cutest wooden hut that was my bedroom, “OMG these guys are the real deal! No spiritual pseudo or egos ruling this retreat roost. Truly high positive vibes only here.”
I can’t recommend the space, the space holders, the sauna, the swimming pond, the snug sleep pods, the silent walk, the food, the family and safe cocoon they create highly enough.
Without sounding like a sales pitch - I promise you it isn’t, they really were just that good!"
- Katherine Walsh, Wild Women Weekend Retreat guest May 2024.
