Wild Moon Camp
Woman’s Voice Camp
21 - 25 August 2025
Dartmoor National Park
Wild Moon returns for the 3rd year, and this time....we will be gathering under the Dark Moon.....
Immersed in stunning nature, deep in the wilds of Dartmoor National Park, we’ll come together to connect with the land, the solidarity of sisterhood and the spirit of our voices. Calling on the depth and wisdom of the dark moon to take us inwards, allow what is alive in us to move through our voices and bodies and help us remember our wild nature as women, rooted in the earth and the cycles of nature. In ritual we will weave the threads of our longings together, moving and voicing in circles on the land and around the fire. This is an intimate, retreat - like camp with less than 30 participants.
What to expect
Guided journeys to awaken and empower your authentic voice
Solo time in nature supported by vocal scores as a framework for free expression and intuitive plant wisdom
Workshops in co-creative circle singing, song-weaving inspired by the land and Collaborative Vocal Improvisation
Morning movement explorations into the landscape of feeling, where we will connect to the nature of our bodies and with each other
Ceremony with the dark moon - singing, drumming and dancing around the fire
A welcoming sanctuary for creativity and connection, to yourself, the wild and a gorgeous group of women
Lots of fun and frolics!
The focal point of our gathering is the central fire in the White Deer Lodge, an ancient feeling, cosy roundhouse. Our activities weave out from here and onto the surrounding land which is a 63 acre mosaic of ecologically rich habitats; including conifer and native woodland, wetland and wildflower glades. This magical site is committed to re-wilding of land and people, with particular focus on keystone species including beavers. There will be ample opportunities to explore and spend time immersed in this beautiful landscape and to visit the beaver sanctuary.
