Find Your Wild Retreat 2025

Women's All-Inclusive Self-Love Retreat

Meals, accommodations, and workshops all included in your ticket price!

Aug 15-18, 2025

Caroline, Alberta

One of the most amazing aspects of the Find Your Wild Retreat is the diverse age range of women who attend each year.

Women ranging in age from 19 to 70 gather in community, each bringing a unique perspective, lived experience, and energy to the retreat.

This beautiful diversity allows for deep connections and meaningful exchanges, as we all learn and grow together.

That’s right, you’ll be fully taken care of. Just pack your bags, arrive, and leave the rest to us. The retreat spans 4 days and 3 nights,

beginning on Friday, August 15th at 4 PM

and wrapping up on Monday, August 18th at 11 AM.

This stunning location offers panoramic countryside views, including a river flowing right past the deck.

You’ll be able to explore groomed walking paths through the woods, unwind in a rock labyrinth, enjoy vibrant flower gardens, and relax in an outdoor hot tub by a cozy fireplace. The warm and attentive staff will take care of all our meals and needs throughout the weekend, ensuring a truly rejuvenating experience.

meaning you'll be sharing a room with another attendee.

We'll set clear guidelines at the start of the retreat to ensure everyone respects each other's shared space, knowing some may prefer quiet downtime while others enjoy chatting.

Each room is equipped with two queen or twin beds.

Four of the eight rooms have ensuite bathrooms, which will be assigned to the first eight attendees who book.

The remaining four rooms share three bathrooms.

• If shared accommodations aren't your preference, we highly recommend attending with a friend to share the room with.
• If you'd like to attend but aren’t comfortable sharing a room, you’re welcome to bring a tent or RV/trailer for sleeping. Ticket prices remain the same if you choose to camp.

It offers you a chance to step away from the busyness of life and embrace the time and space needed for personal growth and self-discovery.

Each year, your hosts Nancy, Joelle, and Brenda bring together their expertise to curate workshops that reconnect you with nature, your body, community, and joy.

Many of our attendees experience profound insights that lead to lasting transformations they carry back into their everyday lives.

We always conclude the retreat with an Empowerment Photo Shoot, captured by your talented co-host Joelle. Read more about the photo shoot and Joelle below.

Joelle is renowned in central Alberta for her transformative "Naked in Nature" photography, which goes beyond just taking photos—it’s a deeply connected self-love experience.

Attendees are asked to bring black undergarments of their choice, and you’ll be gifted your own robe as part of your retreat swag bag.

Joelle will first capture group photos with robes on and off.

Then, for the second part of the shoot, she invites anyone who feels called to participate in a naked group photo session.

Each attendee also receives their own mini shoot, either covered or nude, with up to three personal photos.

As you can see from our gallery, Joelle beautifully captures the innate beauty of the female body, creating art that honors women in all our perfectly imperfect forms.

Participation in the photo shoot is entirely optional.

You will never be pressured by us or the group.

However, every year we have women who initially say, "heck no," and by the time the photo shoot rolls around, they’re all in!

New for 2025: Private Photo Shoot Opportunity
Each year, Joelle receives requests for more intimate, private photo sessions.

This year, she's offering an optional upgrade to purchase a personalized photo shoot package. This includes extra one-on-one time with Joelle and additional photos.
