RECLAIM YOUR WILD WOMAN RETREAT

Reconnect. Remember. Reclaim.

1st - 6th May 2024 // Portugal

You’re invited to 5 days of deep devotion, ceremony and reclamation.

Join us as we drop into our inner world to reclaim the wild woman that lives within. Are you ready to embody your rawest, wildest, most beautiful you, surrounded by your soul sisters? Then now is the time to say yes to yourself. This sacred space invites you to bring all of you, just as you are, as we walk each other home to the beauty that lies within us.

The Shanti Space

We’ll gather in nature on this magical land at The Shanti Space, nestled in a beautiful woodland valley, only half an hour from Lisbon and fifteen minutes from Ericeira beach. The Shanti Space is a nourishing family-run sanctuary for this retreat, perfect to rest and restore well-being whilst bathed in the loving embrace of nature. This space held us so beautifully in July 2023 and I cannot wait for you to join us back there for more magic in May 2024.

The magic you will receive on this retreat

Imagine waking up to the sound of nature, feeling the sun on your face and starting your day with a soft movement practice, followed by a dreamy breakfast cooked for you before floating into a day of sacred ceremony.

Your time with Betty at The Shanti Space will take you on a journey to exactly where you are ready to go. The days will be peppered with workshops, embodiment practices, rituals and ceremonies, working with breath, sound and movement to bring you back into your body and reunite you with your inner magic.

The spaces we’ll share will carefully weave together the elements of earth (through nature), spirit (through breathwork) and ceremony (through everything). An all-senses experience, you’ll spend your time between the forest yoga deck, garden yoga shala and the beautiful finca where you’ll rest.

Join us on this magic land to reclaim your wild woman and your magic, hel.d lovingly by a safe sisterhood.

♡ A space to reawaken the goddess that is resting within

♡ A space to reconnect with your wild woman and everything she represents as you step into a new way of being.

♡ A space to remember who you are, before you were taught how to be.

♡ A space to embody your fullest self. TO BE FULL OF YOURSELF.

♡ This sacred gathering will hold you as you tenderly transform. A nurturing space to witness you softly bloom.

♡ A soft unwinding into whatever lies within, in the nurturing arms of mama nature.

It’s time to rewrite the story you’ve created for yourself, by reclaiming your medicine through breath, sound, movement and sisterhood at this special place in Portugal. Now is the time to step into your fullest queen. It’s time to choose yourself. She’s been waiting for you.

Meet your guides

  • Retreat led by: Betty Lewis-Griffiths

    CEREMONIALIST, BREATHWORK FACILITATOR AND WOMEN’S GUIDE.

    Betty works with wild-hearted humans, guiding them back to their wisdom within so they can access their life’s full pleasure portal and live a life that welcomes all that they are.

    Living every day full of presence and pleasure, Betty teaches others to do the same, through women’s circles, powerful breathwork ceremonies, rewilding programmes and working with nature and the elements.

    She uses breath, sound, movement, meditation, mantra and self-inquiry to facilitate transformation and enable us to reconnect with our wild essence and live a life that welcomes our fullest expression.

    She sees life as a ceremony, making everyday life sacred, with the smallest touches to bring us into presence, gratitude and joy.

  • Guest facilitator: Ariana Aziz

    MOVEMENT TEACHER AND ENERGY WORKER

    Ariana will be joining us at The Shanti Space to guide us through sacred and empowering movement practices to complement the magical work we will be doing.

    Her take on hatha yoga embodies the art of slowing down, allowing you to place our ego aside, connect our head with our heart and our breath, and move in a way that feels good for you.

    With a passion for dance and freedom of expression, you may find yourself dancing to the front of your mat, as well as finding comfort in deeply restorative asanas.

    As a transformational intuitive reiki therapist and energy worker, Ariana fuses her treatments with an abundance of love and self-compassion, tightening the connection to self. She will be offering her 1:1 reiki fusion therapy during the retreat.

Nourish your body and your soul:

Local chef, Caroline Massote, will be lovingly preparing our meals throughout the retreat. Caroline works with organic, seasonal and local food, respecting nature’s cycles and supporting the local producers. 


Depending on the ceremonies each day, you’ll be tucking into breakfast, lunch and dinner or brunch, an afternoon snack and dinner, with plenty of snacks. Carol’s food will leave you feeling nourished and inspired.

Is this retreat for you?

This gathering is for any woman ready to be held as you immerse yourself in your inner wisdom. A space to connect deeply with your inner wild woman and unleash the parts of yourself that you may have been hiding away.

It’s a space to reconnect, reawaken, remember and reclaim.

  • You’re at a point in your life when you know there is more.

  • You’re ready to journey with your sisterhood and soul tribe.

  • You’re open to unraveling old stories and beliefs that may have kept you small and tamed.

  • You’re ready to meet, embrace and love every part of you, just the way you are

  • You’re searching for a space where you can bring all of you

  • You’re ready to step into the queen you are here to be.

What other women have said

  • "I went on the most magical journey deep into my soul"

    I have attended many of Betty’s offerings and I am always blown away at how held and safe I feel. It was a real treat to be able to spend the whole day at the first RYW retreat. Discovering Breathwork was new for me and I went on the most magical journey deep into my soul and I feel privileged to have shared the space with such incredible women. I was able to completely escape from every distraction and felt nourished inside out.

    Betty, you never cease to take me on amazing journeys. I feel so enlightened.

  • "It took me to a place of deep restorative peace"

    I can’t express how much I loved Betty’s retreat nature-day immersion. I felt so loved & cared for. The standout experience for me was the breathwork journey out in nature. With Betty’s guidance, it took me to a place of deep, deep restorative peace. I still can’t find the words to adequately express that part of the day. From the snacks to the sound bath with Betty’s instruments, drum & voice, it was just the most perfect place and safe space to take time just for me.

  • "You have made such a change in the way I approach life and its challenges."

    You gave me the opportunity to grow and harness my self-development when I didn't have the confidence to take those next steps. I am truly grateful for that. You and the wild women in our group have made such a change in the way I approach life and its challenges. I am still working on my confidence and boundaries but having support and also taking the time to really listen, have been immensely reassuring. I didn’t think I would have the confidence to continue a path in my true passions and trust my own abilities. Thank you for giving me this amazing experience to reclaim my wild.
