WILD RETURN
A Women's Retreat
for Rest, Renewal & Reconnection
Spring 2027 | Pacific Northwest
For the one who holds so much, this is your invitation to be held
Step away from the demands of daily life and come home to yourself through movement, nature, ceremony, song and meaningful connection.
Come Home to Yourself
You spend so much time caring for others. This time is for you.
There are seasons of life when we give so much of ourselves that we forget what it feels like to receive. To rest without guilt. To listen to our bodies. To be nourished, witnessed, and cared for without needing to do anything in return.
Wild Return is an invitation to come home to yourself.
Nestled in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, this intimate retreat brings together movement, nature, ceremony, song, and meaningful connection. Together, we'll create space to soften, explore, celebrate, and remember the parts of ourselves that have been waiting for our attention.
You don't need to arrive with a plan for healing or a particular version of yourself you hope to become.
Come as you are. There is room for all of you here.

Healing doesn't always happen in a single moment, and the gifts of retreat don't need to end when we return home.Wild Return is a journey of preparation, immersion, and integration, with personal care and community woven throughout
Before we Gather
An Invitation to Be Cared For
Your experience begins with a private 60-minute healing session with Andy. This is time dedicated entirely to you: your health, your hopes, your questions, and whatever life is asking of you right now. Together, we'll explore what feels meaningful and how you would like to be supported.You'll also receive your printed Wild Return Companion Guide, filled with reflections, teachings, and practices to accompany you along the way.
While We're Together
Space to Simply Be
Over four days and three nights, we'll gather for movement, ceremony, song, creativity, nourishing meals, and connection with nature. There will also be plenty of room to rest, wander, journal, and follow your own rhythm.
After We Return
Carrying It Home
A few weeks after our retreat, we'll come together again for an online integration circle. A chance to reconnect, share what's unfolding, and support one another as the experience takes root in our everyday lives.
Nourished by Place, Rooted in Community
We believe that how we care for one another extends beyond the walls of our retreat.
Wild Return celebrates the abundance of the Pacific Northwest through thoughtfully prepared meals featuring local, seasonal ingredients. Our food is an expression of nourishment and gratitude, inviting us to slow down, savor, and reconnect with the land that sustains us.
We're also proud to celebrate and support local women-owned businesses, makers, and practitioners. From the ingredients that nourish us to the beautiful offerings woven into your retreat experience, we prioritize partnerships that keep care, creativity, and resources circulating within our community.
Because healing is not only personal. It is something we cultivate together.
The Wild Return Experience:
Step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with yourself.Through movement, nature, reflection, creativity, and community, you'll be supported in slowing down, restoring your nervous system, and remembering what matters most.
This isn't about becoming someone new.It's about returning to the parts of yourself that have always been there.

Your Personal Healing Session
An invitation to be held, heard, and cared for.
A private 60-minute session with Dr. Andy Turner, ND | $330 value
Your journey into Wild Return begins with an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and receive care that is entirely your own.
So often, our bodies are the first to tell us that something needs our attention. Through discomfort, exhaustion, longing, or the quiet sense that something in our lives is ready to change, our bodies invite us to listen more deeply. What begins as a conversation about our health can open into an exploration of who we are, what we carry, and how we want to move through the world.
This time is yours.
We'll begin with a grounding meditation, creating space to arrive in your body and settle into the present moment. From there, we'll follow what feels most meaningful to you.
Perhaps you're navigating a life transition, carrying grief, feeling disconnected from your body, or simply longing for someone to listen. Maybe there are questions about your physical health you'd like to explore, patterns you're curious about, or something you haven't quite found the words for.
Drawing from my background in naturopathic medicine, somatic practices, herbal medicine, yoga therapy, and holistic healing, I offer a space where we can explore the many layers of your wellbeing. Our time together might include supportive conversation, embodied exploration, intuitive reflection, practical health guidance, or identifying areas that deserve further medical attention or investigation.
We'll also make space to explore your intentions for Wild Return and anything that might help you feel more supported as you enter our time together.
There is nothing you need to prepare, accomplish, or figure out beforehand. You don't need to arrive with a problem to solve.
You are welcome to come exactly as you are.
This is your time to be listened to, nurtured, and supported—and perhaps to begin discovering what it feels like to receive the care you've so often given to others.
