Samhain Retreat – Step into the Dark, Reclaim the Light
17–20 October 2025 | Glastonbury, Somerset
There comes a time in every woman's life when she must return to herself.
In a world that constantly asks us to give—partners, children, work, responsibilities—how often do we place ourselves at the centre of our own care? What if, just this once, you made you the priority? This is the sacred ethos of Untamed Moon.
Our Samhain Retreat is a sanctuary. A sacred pause in the turning of the Wheel of the Year, where the Crone Goddess—Wise One, Seer, Guardian of the Threshold—calls you home to yourself.
As the veil thins and the old year dies, join us for a powerful women’s retreat steeped in the ancestral magic of Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Nestled in the heart of rural Somerset, this weekend invites you to reflect, release, and remember—guided by ancient wisdom, sacred ritual, and the whispers of your lineage.
Let the past fall away. Honour your ancestors. Reclaim the light within.
Why Retreat?
A retreat is not an escape—it is a return.
A return to your body. Your voice. Your power.
In the quiet hush of autumn, as the leaves fall and the shadows lengthen, Samhain invites us to descend into the rich, fertile darkness of the soul.
In sacred sisterhood and ancient land, you will be held in a container of deep transformation. You will have space to:
- Pause the noise of life and turn inward
- Release what no longer serves
- Remember your wisdom, your power, your lineage
- Reclaim the untamed self buried beneath years of doing for others

Why Samhain? Why Now?
Samhain is both an ending and a beginning.
A time when the old falls away, and the seeds of the new are planted in the dark.
This retreat is a rite of passage—a journey inward guided by the Crone, the ancestors, and your own untamed spirit. Whether you're at a crossroads, craving connection, or seeking sacred rest, this space invites you to:
Honour what was. Tend what is. Dream into what will be.
