Calling in the Wild & Sacred Womban
You can feel there is a woman inside you who is ready to speak louder, trust deeper and stop abandoning herself to belong.
You carry stories in your blood and bones, echoes of the women who came before you, and a wildness that has been quiet for long enough.
You want to remember what your body already knows, feel your desires, honour your boundaries and give voice to what has been waiting to move through you.
This is your invitation to embody her — liberate your voice, reconnect with your womb and let yourself feel and live through the medicine of your wild heart.
So tell me, sister
When did you forget your burning desire to live?
With passion. Pleasure. Devotion.
Can you hear the quiet ache of your soul calling you back…
Back to the woman beneath the conditioning, the masks, the survival patterns and the endless doing.
Back to the body you may have learned to distrust, silence or abandon.
Back to the woman with such a strong radar, you see through the bullshit straight away.
“You have been so busy becoming who everyone needed you to be that you cannot remember who you actually are. What you actually want. How you actually like to be touched.”
And maybe you have done the work. The therapy, the retreats, the books, the breathwork. And yet something keeps pulling you back to the same wall. The same patterns. The same quiet ache underneath it all.
The craziest thing? You know it. You can see it so clearly. You just don't know how to change it. Because you cannot build a new life from the wound that's still running it.
But yet… you can taste it.
Taste the woman who knows.
Who desires. Who moves. Who screams.
Who has boundaries.
Who trusts the wisdom of her own body.
Who feels…
Feels so fucking alive in your body, in your womb, that every moment becomes an embodied ritual.
The juiciness of a mango. The sunlight kissing your face. Your hands caressing your skin. The sound of the music pulsing through every cell of your body as it expresses itself through you in the rawest state. That moment of connection when your soul collides with another in pure orgasmic union, so profound it opens fields of infinite possibilities and divine love. The moment when you realise you are so much bigger than this physical body.
Ahh yes sister, I know you have felt this moment, seen it, tasted it…
I'm here. I'm really fucking here. Soul, body, mind and heart.
In your sovereign body. Your sensuality. Your feminine rhythm. Your deepest knowing.

The quiet ache you keep pushing down
So why does that feeling or embodiment feel so unreachable at times?
Perhaps you have spent years living beside your body rather than inside it. And now there is a deeper layer of you asking to be met.
You carry responsibilities powerfully. Yet you are so exhausted of holding everything together.
You feel a longing for something more real. More orgasmic. More authentic.
You have learned to override her signals. To ignore the tension, push through the exhaustion, disconnect from desire and stay composed when your body wants to move, scream, cry, soften or say no.
For some women, the womb carries memories of grief, betrayal, longing, birth, pain or experiences that have never fully been felt. For others, there is simply a sense of disconnection from their pelvis, their feminine rhythm or shame around their sexuality.
And my love, this ache is a signal that your womb is calling, beckoning you to come home. Inviting you to look deeper.
This is not about fixing your body, nor forcing yourself into another version of what femininity should look like. It's about beginning to listen.
Listening to the body, the shadow, your boundaries, your desire, your cycles and your inner knowing.
What becomes possible when you live from your womb
When you walk into the room, people feel you before they see you.
You are not pushing your way through or performing freedom — no, your embodiment is undeniable. And that cannot be faked.
Liberation
You stop people-pleasing. You say what is true. You move how you want to move. “Fuck it” becomes a complete sentence — and the magic is not rebellion, it is staying attuned to what is truly needed in the field.
Discernment
Your pussy power is so alive no one can mess with you. You see through the bullshit instantly. You know your yes. You know your no. No second-guessing.
Embodiment
It is something you feel deep in your bones. In how you walk. How you breathe. How you create a ritual around everything you do.
Magnetism
You stop chasing and start drawing in. The right people, opportunities and love move toward you — because you are finally you.
Pleasure
Not just in your sexuality, but in how you allow the little moments in your life to be more orgasmic. Your whole life becomes more vivid.
Sovereignty
This is your life and you are ready to live it, fully, loudly. In devotion to your own truth. Fuck yes.
Medicine
You reclaim the medicine you came here to share — your voice, your gifts, your work — and you offer it to the world in an authentic AF way.
What you are actually afraid of
You are not afraid of going deep. You are afraid of what your womb might tell you.
When you finally stop long enough to listen:
I don't want this anymore.
I am ready to feel it.
I want more.
I need rest.
Enough.
Or maybe you have been ignoring her whispers that may have turned into screams. Screams from ignoring the pain of all the times she didn't consent to be penetrated, or wasn't ready to be. Times your pussy was abused, disrespected, silenced or used. This can show up as dissociating from your sexuality, freezing, or self-sabotaging relationships. Or maybe the screams have turned into physical manifestations of dis-ease — fibroids, endometriosis, cervical dysplasia or cancer, or even dysregulated PMS symptoms.
“Maybe your pussy is just so fucking enraged that what she needs is to be held, embraced and told: I am here. I am listening.”
But it feels too scary to go there. So instead of listening, you stay busy. You stay productive, or you numb yourself into oblivion — scrolling, another series on Netflix, disconnecting and isolating yourself. Because that is what your nervous system has learned feels safe.
But beneath all the noise, the dark feminine is waiting. Waiting to be met, unleashed — waiting to set you free.
What we have witnessed again and again
The womb does not ask you to burn your entire life down. She asks you to stop abandoning yourself.
Good girls fear the dark.
Wild women are born from it.
What we move through together
The Wise Woman Remembrance Path
Five days. Seven layers. One return.
Dropping the Masks
The roles that once kept you safe. The faces you learned to wear. We name them, honour them and begin to put them down — and integrate the change so it lasts.
Neuroscience·Somatic practices
People thinking you are too much, too wild, too loud.
Releasing Inherited Patterns
So many of the patterns we carry trace back to our mothers and fathers. We break the cycles and step into our own sovereignty.
Shamanic ceremony·Releasing cords
The patterns that are not yours. The loyalties that are not yours. What happens when you set them down?
Returning to the Body
Your body has been whispering, then speaking, perhaps screaming. Through somatic healing, movement and nervous system work, you finally learn to listen.
Somatic healing·Movement·Nervous system work
What is the message living in your body? What has it been trying to tell you?
The Voice of the Womb
When did you last softly, truly listen to her? Your desires. Your boundaries. Your deepest truth. She is waiting.
Deep womb work with the Nanas·Pussy reclamation·Breath, voice & expression
Grief, shame, guilt, longing, ecstasy. We let the womb speak — all of it.
Melting into Pleasure
Pleasure as medicine, as aliveness. Not just sexual. For the woman who has learned to disconnect from sensation, pleasure becomes a pathway back.
Sensual temple night·Dark feminine exploration
Your primal state: fire, water, earth. Your life force, fully switched on.
Being Witnessed
Through ritual, ceremony, movement and sisterhood, this is the space to be seen in all of who you are.
Ritual·Ceremony·Sisterhood
Being seen in all of you, witnessed by your sisters, is so fucking liberating.
Embodying the Wise Woman
It is not that you lost her — she was buried underneath all the conditioning. You leave with her fully alive in your body, your voice, your movement, your life.
Embodiment is not a performance. It is something you feel deep in your bones. In your soul. In your expression.
The land holds us
There are places that remember what we have forgotten.
Lake Atitlán is one of them. Surrounded by active and dormant volcanoes, cradling the sacred lake and held by the ancient traditions of Mayan wisdom — these lands and waters have been home to prayers, fire rituals and devotional knowledge passed down through thousands of generations. The kind of place where the land remembers and the fires ignite powerful transformations.
Throughout our five days, Alixe and Paulina will guide you into the depths of your womb through embodiment, activations and practices. They are so honoured to be weaving their medicine with the Nanas, the Mayan women and grandmothers, through ancient ceremonies and rituals. Traditions they have devoted their lives to preserving and embodying through their lineage.
“This land may bring you to your knees in humbleness — and from the wild embers we RISE.”
Your guides
You will not walk alone, sister.
Alixe
Alixe van Ogtrop is a trauma therapist, shamanic guide and founder of The Untamed Circle, a global community of women reclaiming their wild, embodied leadership.
Over 12 years she has walked thousands of women into the places they were most afraid to go — in hundreds of circles, dozens of retreats and countless 1:1 sessions. She brings neuroscience, somatics and shamanic practice into one room, and teaches it all from her own body. She has moved through PTSD and trauma, and she is still dropping layers every day.
She creates spaces where radical honesty and deep safety live side by side. She will see all of you, cut through the bullshit, and hold you with so much love while you become the untamed, powerful, sacred womban you are.
“You recognised it before there were words for it. That is the gift you carry: love made visible through your presence.”
Suzanne
Paulina
15 years rooted in ceremony, embodiment and ancestral healing. She guides women back into relationship with their bodies, their sensuality and their life force — through the wisdom of the earth, the feminine and ancient traditions.
Her presence is the kind that makes your body exhale before she has said a word.
Together we hold the space where modern science and ancient wisdom meet. Where you are so, so welcome to fall apart — and discover what is whole underneath.
Love notes and reflections from women we have held
Love notes
“
Since the retreat, I have noticed significant changes in myself. I feel more at peace and in alignment with my true self. I have a newfound sense of confidence and ease that I have never experienced before. I have also been able to forgive those who have hurt me in the past, which has been incredibly liberating.
Madeleine
“
The Dark Feminine retreat completely transformed the way I perceive and interact with my shadows. After many years of running from them, I shifted from feelings of intimidation to admiration for the dark within me, for it is as beautiful as the light within. Thank you so much Paulina for your continuous dedication in spreading the magic of life through your incredible work.
Jessica
“
My journey into the warrior of the heart was such a transformational experience that my soul was calling for. The space she held made it possible for me to shed a part of me that was no longer serving me so another part of me could be born. I felt so held, seen and nourished through some of the darkest places of my soul.

The stars have aligned and the cauldron of potency is already brewing the magic birthing into this container. We don't know whether we will create this exact retreat again, in this place and in this collaboration with the Nanas.
If you are feeling the call, wild one… there has never been a more potent time to empower yourself and join us.
Questions
Okay, but I still have questions.
Good, don't override your doubts. Read, feel, listen to your inner compass, ask us what you need to ask — and then make your decision from there.
+Is this retreat for me?
You don't need to arrive fearless, wildly embodied or capable of holding eye contact with a cacao bean for seven minutes. You do need to be willing to participate. To feel. To be seen. To lean into your edges. To say no when you mean no. To stay curious when you are met with discomfort or resistance, and to take responsibility for what is yours.
You probably won't get a lightning bolt from the Goddess giving you official approval. Annoying, we know.
Read the page. Notice what excites you and what scares you. Ask us the practical questions you need answered. Then listen for the difference between a genuine no and the discomfort that can come with a very big yes. Nobody on this page can make that distinction for you.
And maybe the retreat has already started. Before Guatemala. Before the ceremonies. Before you've booked a flight. Right here.
What do you truly desire? When you strip away the guilt, the fear, the practical noise and everybody else's opinion… is this a yes or a no?
+Who is this retreat not for?
This probably isn't for you if
You're looking for a luxury holiday with a little healing sprinkled on top. It also isn't five days where Paulina, the Nanas or Alixe tell you what your next move should be.
If you want someone to fix you, hand you the golden answer or decide what your body is trying to tell you, this isn't that retreat.
And if spirituality has become another place where you need to look evolved, know all the language and subtly prove you're above everyone's very human bullshit… you may find this space uncomfortable.
We are not looking for the most wildly embodied or spiritual woman in the room. We are gathering women willing to be raw, authentic and curious through the process of becoming.
+Do I need to have experience to join?
We welcome anyone into this experience, and we meet you exactly where you are on your journey. Maybe you are just starting, ready to dive deep — or maybe you have journeyed long and far and are ready to level up.
All we ask is that you commit to your inner growth and take responsibility for your inner world. Ready to raise your consciousness and be free!
+“I've already done so much. How do I know this won't just be another retreat high?”
Because we bring the whole woman into the work: neuroscience and embodiment, earth and sky, energy and blood and bones.
You'll understand your patterns with your mind while meeting them in your body — awakening pleasure, moving what has been held and practicing what it feels like to choose from a place that is more alive, sovereign and deeply yours.
We integrate the change through new neural pathways and by awakening pleasure states in your cells. You take home more than a beautiful five-day experience; you take home a deeper relationship with your body, your pleasure and the part of you that knows how to come back to herself.
And with our post-retreat integration call, we help you bring that juiciness into your very normal Tuesday too. ❤️
+“Guatemala is far. And five days away from my kids / partner / life is… a lot.”
It might be. Five days away takes planning, especially when people genuinely depend on you.
And maybe part of what makes this feel big is that for five days, you are not the person organising everybody else's life. You get to be the one being fed, held and considered too.
We can support you with arranging shuttle transportation for your journey to and from the retreat.
Or maybe you are someone with a little more spaciousness and flexibility. We highly encourage you to arrive a few days earlier or stay at the lake longer — to explore the deeper medicine of the community there: the dance, the workshops, the Mayan teachings, and the magic and liberation you will feel beyond this retreat.
+“What if a lot comes up?”
Then we meet what is actually there. You won't be pushed towards the biggest release in the room or asked to bulldoze through a no in the name of transformation.
Deep doesn't have to mean forceful.

It is time to remember
A woman connected to her womb
is a woman connected to her power, her pleasure, her life-giving energy.
A woman liberated in her voice
is a woman liberating the voice of her daughters, her lineage, her womb.
A woman living from her wild heart
is a woman living her truth, her deepest embodiment, her medicine.
And a woman empowered in all three
changes everything.
The Wild Womban is calling
Before you close this page, let the medicine of this calling sink into every cell of your being.
Take a deep breath
Listen.
Feel your womb. Your heart. The earth pulsing beneath you.
There is something greater than you at work here.
Only you know your truth. And if you are feeling a full-body “Fuck yes”… come taste what it feels like to be fully alive.
