A circle of women, grounded by the earth, supported by community, nourished by fire—and you right in the middle of it all.
A weekend for women who’ve had enough of self-improvement and this endless “having to be a certain way.”
Who’ve grown tired of constantly having to be strong, conform, and function.
Who often feel, in their daily lives, that they’re “too much” and “not enough” at the same time. For women who, on the outside, seem to have everything under control, but deep down feel that they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way.
What does “Wild Woman” actually mean?
Don’t worry—you won’t have to run naked through the woods beating a drum wildly.
The term simply describes the part of us that isn’t perfectly conformed, but is alive, intuitive, and unpretentious. Beyond roles, masks, and the expectations of others.
Amid the lush green nature of the Styrian Murtal, a safe space for new experiences opens up, where you can step off autopilot for a few days. We’ll come together in a small, exclusive circle of no more than 6 women—mindful, honest, playful, and deeply respectful.
Surrounded by the deep tranquility of the forest, your whole being can finally slow down and breathe a sigh of relief.
This is about everything—except performance. We reconnect with our bodies, listening to our true emotions and the needs behind them. We explore our boundaries and practice feeling and saying a clear “no” again. Here, beneath all the old layers of everyday life, you’re free to rediscover yourself and remember who you truly are when you don’t have to “function” for a change.
✦ Your next step: Follow the call
Perhaps right now, as you read this, you’re feeling a gentle tingle or a flutter in your stomach. Maybe you’re noticing that this circle is calling you. Take that feeling seriously. It’s often incredibly hard to give yourself permission to pause everyday life for a moment and do something just for yourself. But this is exactly where the Wild Woman begins.
You don’t even have to decide this on your own just yet.
That’s exactly what my free introductory consultation is for.
Let’s have a relaxed, no-obligation phone call for about 15 minutes. We’ll explore what’s on your mind right now, whether this weekend is the missing piece of your puzzle, and whether we click.
Afterward, you’ll have complete clarity about what your next, right step is.
Just send me a quick message—I’m looking forward to hearing from you and learning your story.

✦ About Me
I’m Sabine, a psychological guide, and I’ve been creating and facilitating spaces for women for almost 10 years.
I guide you through these days in a clear, calm, and nervous-system-friendly space. It’s important to me that you feel safe and seen within the circle, that you can slow down and reconnect with yourself—without any pressure, without having to play a role, and without having to “function.” To make this possible, I deliberately keep the groups small so that genuine depth and presence can truly flourish.
In my work, I combine psychological process facilitation, body awareness, and nature-based work.
My foundation for this is built on in-depth training in:
• Life and social counseling
• Couples and sex counseling & bodywork
• Human energetics & shamanism
• Nature and wilderness education
✦ What to Expect
• Psychologically guided process spaces: On topics such as boundaries, needs, emotions, communication, and self-worth.
• Body & Awareness Work: For a noticeably deeper connection with your true self.
• Time in Nature: Forest bathing, movement, silence, and mindful, sensory awareness.
• Sharing Circles: Honest and deep sharing by a warming fire.
• Shamanic rituals: Grounding nature work that allows you to look deeper within.
• Space for expression: Room for movement, your voice, or creativity.
• Space for retreat: Time for silence, deep breathing, and the important process of integration.
✦ The Flow of These Days
The retreat has a clear framework but does not follow a rigid schedule. It evolves with the group, the weather, and whatever arises in the moment. This creates not a tightly scheduled program, but a living, authentic space.
