Awakening the Wild Woman: A Sacred Celebration
July 17 - 19
a sacred women’s retreat in Pueblo, CO devoted to awakening your inner wild woman.
There is a difference between learning something new and remembering something ancient.
This immersive women’s retreat in Pueblo, CO is not about fixing yourself. It is about reclaiming what has always lived within you — the instinct, the intuition, the embodied confidence, and the unapologetic voice of the Wild Woman.
Awakening the Wild Woman is a sacred and celebratory weekend retreat designed for women who are ready to release people pleasing, stop shrinking, speak up for themselves, and take up space without apology. Through ceremony, women’s circles, movement, ritual, and embodied practices, you will reconnect with the wisdom in your bones and the fire in your voice.
Over the course of this Wild Woman retreat, you will gather in sacred sisterhood, participate in ancient matriarchal medicine, and experience powerful teachings that support self-trust, sovereignty, and authentic expression. This is a space where you are invited to be seen, heard, and celebrated exactly as you are.
Unlike traditional self-development workshops, this women’s retreat experience is rooted in remembrance and celebration. We are not here to make you better — we are here to awaken the woman who is already powerful.
You will move your body in grounding and energizing ways, engage in ceremonial practices that honor your womanhood, and receive practical tools to embody confidence in your everyday life. From cacao ceremony to circle work to guided embodiment sessions, every part of this retreat is intentionally crafted to help you rise fully into yourself.
If you are searching for a women’s retreat in Pueblo, Colorado that blends sacred ritual, personal empowerment, ancestral remembrance, and joyful celebration — this is your invitation.
This is more than a weekend retreat.
It is a reclamation.
It is a celebration.
It is the awakening of the Wild Woman within.
We have been saving your seat in circle.
Who This Women’s Retreat Is For
This retreat is for the woman who feels the pull — the one who knows there is more of her waiting to be embodied. You don’t need to be “spiritual enough,” healed enough, or confident enough. You simply need to be willing.
This women’s retreat is for you if:
- You are ready to stop caring so much about what other people think
- You want to speak up for yourself without guilt
- You are tired of shrinking and are ready to take up space
- You’re ready to release perfectionism and unrealistic expectations
- You crave real connection with other women
- You feel disconnected from your intuition and want to rebuild trust with yourself
- You desire both celebration and depth — not just surface-level empowerment
- You want practical tools for embodying confidence in your everyday life
- You feel the Wild Woman stirring inside you
Retreat Schedule
We thoughtfully designed this women’s retreat to create both depth and connection from the very beginning.
After hosting our previous two-day retreat, we recognized how powerful it would be to begin with a relaxed Friday evening reception and cacao ceremony, giving women time to meet, soften, and connect before the immersive work begins. T
hat intentional opening allows genuine sisterhood to form in a way that feels organic rather than rushed. We are also hosting this retreat again at our studio in Pueblo, Colorado to keep it accessible, grounded, and affordable while still offering a deeply transformational experience.
By gathering locally, we create an intimate and supportive women’s retreat environment where community can flourish without the pressure or expense of travel.
If you’re feeling the pull but still have questions, we invite you to connect. Melanie Chavez, the studio owner and retreat co-facilitator, is happy to answer any questions at
