Online immersion series + six day retreat
An immersion series for women who yearn to unlearn the dangerous trappings that keep them tamed . . .
At its simplest, to be wild is to be natural, which is to be at ease with what is.
We are all born wild & as we grow, we mistake civility for belonging & so cut off limbs, bind bones, & destroy inner waterways in the name of fitting in.
We forget that everything in nature has its place.
We forget that if we are required to sever parts to pay the ticket price, it is not belonging we’ve purchased, but shame.
We forget that to become who we are is the privilege of a lifetime.
Our next online immersion begins January 11th
what to expect . . .
Throughout our time together, we will deepen into our wild–that is, natural–state.
We will first orient ourselves within the shared group field and then immerse ourselves in a fairy tale through ritual storytelling.
We will then explore the tales through the body using somatic practices such as breathwork, dance, authentic movement, and ritual theatre.
In each immersion, you can expect to dive into an archetypal experience employing a combination of fairy tale analysis, somatic practice, self-inquiry, and group witnessing.
Each of these events is designed to stand alone while also unfolding iteratively, building bridges between parts of your deep psyche & allowing for greater self-emergence.
We will culminate our time together roaming the Redwood forest, bathing in open waters,
& bearing witness to the wildness in each other as we dance & revel on retreat.
[Please note: you can choose to join us solely for the in-person portion of this work.
None of the online content is required for retreat participation.]
Your container will be lovingly held by four women,
all of whom have needed to traverse dark waters in order to remember what is wild within them.
All of whom have been initiated by grief & self-forgetting to become who they are.

Mackenzie
By trade Mackenzie is a Jungian analyst, consultant, & 5Rhythms® teacher.
By vocation she is a psychedelic facilitator, depth psychology scholar, & writer.
By design she is a collection of fractal, holographic cells dancing around some strange attractor for the sake of who knows what to live an insignificant, mythic life reflective of the mysterious vital spark within her. She identifies as a series of memories & unverifiable subjective experiences of self-hood to which she is rather fondly attached.
She has a penchant for scholarship, the occult, pedantic erudition, morbid humor, grandiosity, nihilism, & semi-responsible hedonism.
Born in the shadow of New Age culture into a fractured family system & the subjective experiencer of (arguably) extreme early childhood trauma, her life’s work is to heal psychic wounds—her’s & other’s—that she & others become strong enough to contend with the unconscious quicksands & transpersonal abysses which lap at the periphery of developing consciousness. She is an emergent property of Being playing at becoming sovereign.
She really, really loves butter.

The events in fairy tales portray a vital psychological reality.
If we understand them, we gain a new understanding of ourselves.
If we cut ourselves off from this world of images, we are separated from one of the main sources of our own life energy.

"It was incredible to be in a space where it was not only acceptable, but encouraged, to prioritize the body and individual experience as we engaged.
I’ve never been in a group setting like it.
It felt freeing and supportive to be able to explore my experience with the diverse perspectives and unique container the instructors created."
- Colleen, 30, consultant
