Dear Wild Woman,
This gathering is for you.

For the woman who feels the quiet call of the wild within her — the whisper that says, Awaken. Come home. Live what is true.

This weekend is for you if you are longing to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
If you crave a space that is both grounded and sacred — where your truth, your voice, and your wildness are welcome.

If your heart yearns for connection — to the land, to your body, to other women walking beside you.

We will gather at Phenzhopehaugh in the Ettrick Valley — in circle, in movement, in ceremony and story.
Rooted in the natural world. Rooted in ourselves.

You are warmly invited.

Come as you are.
 

WILD WOMAN GATHERING 2026

This year’s theme is ROAR.

An invitation to free our voices, our breath, our bodies.
To release what has been silenced.
To open into a new way of moving through the world — one that is deeply aligned with the core of who we are.

ROAR

A reclamation of voice.
A liberation of breath.
A return to the wild truth within.

“Let the wild raw edges of me touch the wild raw edges of you.”
— Ngahuia Takau

This gathering is a remembering that we are not meant to walk alone.
When women come together in honesty and expression, something ancient and powerful awakens. Strength is shared. Breath deepens. Voices rise.

This year we gather to release, to express, and to move through the world rooted in our truth and power — alongside one another.

Our gathering takes place at Phenzhopehaugh — a name that carries the quiet poetry of place.

In old Scots, “haugh” means a low-lying meadow by a river — fertile ground held by water and time.
Phenzhopehaugh speaks of a resting place between hill and stream, between movement and stillness.

A landscape shaped by wind and weather, nestled in the Scottish Borders — spacious, elemental, and perfect for deep remembering.


WHO IS THE WILD WOMAN?

The Wild Woman archetype is an ancient and powerful symbol found across myths, stories, and cultures around the world. She embodies the untamed, instinctual, and intuitive aspects of the feminine.

She is nature. She is truth. She is the part of us that refuses to be domesticated.

The Wild Woman represents a liberating force — one that invites us to break free from societal expectations and return to our authentic selves.

She lives in the deepest layers of our being:
the part that trusts intuition, honours sensuality, moves with the cycles of the earth and moon, and expresses without shame.

In folklore she is often depicted as primal and connected to wilderness, animals, and the rhythms of the natural world. She dances under the stars, howls at the moon, listens to the wind, and walks with fierce independence.

Her strength lies not in aggression, but in her unwavering alignment with her true nature.

To reconnect with the Wild Woman is to remember what has been suppressed or forgotten — and to reclaim it with courage.
 

MY VISION FOR THE WEEKEND:
My intention for this gathering is simple and powerful:

To come together in joy and sisterhood.
To honour our wildness.
To deepen our connection to ourselves, the land, and each other.
To move, breathe, and express in ways that feel honest and alive.

ABOUT ME– Pollyana

I am a transformational guide working with individuals and groups to help them access personal power, deepen their connection to community and land, and return to themselves.

I have been teaching yoga for over 20 years and am trained as a Shamanic Practitioner, Sound Healer, Reiki Practitioner, and Thai Yoga Massage therapist, among other modalities.

I am also the founder of THE HEARTH studio in Selkirk — a soulful space within a restored 150-year-old church hall — where I offer Yoga, Sound Baths, Women’s Circles, Cacao & Ecstatic Dance sessions (in collaboration with my husband), and other community gatherings.

My work is rooted in creating spaces where people feel safe to soften, express, and remember who they are.
