Embody the Wild
Yoga, Somatics & Safari Retreat
Botswana, 11–17 Oct
The Wild Within meets the wild without.
Embody the Wild is unlike any other retreat — a rare weaving of somatic ritual, feminine leadership, and the raw African wilderness that invites you to remember the woman you were before the world told you who to be.
This retreat is for the woman who is done abandoning herself.
For the woman who is ready to trust her body, reclaim her power, and root into who she really is, completely and unapologetically.
Held by the African wilds, somatic practice, ritual, and sisterhood, this is where old patterns loosen, your nervous system softens, and the truth returns you home.
perfect for...
Women who look “fine” on the outside, but feel a quiet disconnection inside.
Women who’ve done the work — therapy, yoga, self-help books — yet something deeper still calls them back to their body.
Women tired of being the strong one, the caretaker, the peacemaker.
Women who are ready to put themselves first for once.
Women craving beauty, depth, slowness, and honest connection with others who see them.
Women who feel the wild within and are so ready to meet her in a space made just for her.

“I didn't realise how flat and disconnected from myself I felt before, but over the course of the retreat, I started to feel completely safe, at home, and alive in my body.”
"Giordan created a safe, supportive, and joyful environment, where we did yoga by the pool and danced together under the stars. It was safe to be emotional, silly, messy, creative, funny... I just felt so held and accepted by everyone. The retreat is perfect for anyone who wants to feel more embodied and expansive."

Some Retreat Highlights
CLIENT KIND WORDS
“The most transformative and memorable part was two-fold. It was the actual sessions, which felt so safe for me to be really explorative inside myself, and the sense of community amongst all the women there."
— Cilla
“The most transformative and memorable part for me was] allowing myself the space to grieve for my dad while also reconnecting with creativity that I thought I’d lost. The writing workshops especially unlocked something in me, and being held in such a safe and supportive circle of women made it possible to go deeper than I expected.”

— Cilla
“I came hoping for rest and reflection, but I left with a real sense of renewal, community, and empowerment. It wasn’t a holiday — it was a reset, and it’s already rippling out into how I live day-to-day.”
— Amy
“I came to the retreat feeling frazzled, and left feeling a lot more grounded and clear headed. I loved having the space to really allow for emotions to flow, the safety and comfort and support I experienced from Giordan and the other ladies was incredible. I would recommend Giordan’s work to friends, especially if they are looking for deeper inner work and a chance to meet themselves where they are, without fear or shame. Giordan is a wonderful human and a beautiful leader. She creates honest, comfortable spaces and holds it with such grace. Thank you so much!”
— Emily
“Before the retreat, I felt heavy with emotions I hadn’t fully given myself space to feel. By the end, it was as if someone had taken the back of an earring and pressed that tiny hidden reset button.."
— Sophie
“The sessions were so much more transformative for me than I could have anticipated. I was a different person in the taxi home than I was on the way there for sure. The lasting impacts are remarkable, and it’s actually made me evaluate my life, where my passions are, the timeframes in which I want to do things.”
— Cilla
“Before the retreat I was apprehensive but it exceeded my expectations. Afterwards I felt empowered, grounded and connected to a beautiful group of women. The somatic yoga sessions were life changing and helped me fine tune my relationship with my body. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect with other women and learn more about embodied yoga.”
— Amy
“Most valuable of all was having the space to grieve, reconnect with myself, and leave feeling lighter and inspired.”
— Sophie
“I left lighter, clearer, and re-energised, with a new spark of creativity. There were so many highlights: the safe circle of women who held each other so beautifully, the food that was both nourishing and joyful (and as someone who is newly gluten-free, I felt completely cared for and included), and the writing workshops that unlocked words and emotions I didn’t realise were waiting inside me. Pushing myself out of my emotional comfort zone was challenging but transformative, and I’ll carry that shift with me. On the final day, as we floated in the pool, a dragonfly hovered above us — a symbol of change and transformation — and it summed up everything the retreat gave me. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants more than just a break: it’s a reset for your body, mind, and spirit.”
