Olympic Peninsula
September 12–17, 2025
Five days in old growth forest of Washington State for the woman ready to let something go.
The Peninsula is one of the last truly wild places.
Ancient forest. Cold rivers. A coastline that feels like the edge of the world.
This retreat uses the land as a co-facilitator. You'll move through it, sit with it, and let it do what wild places do... strip away what isn't real and return you to what is.

How the five days unfold
Every Wild Passage retreat follows a ceremonial arc. You won't just move through activities, you'll move through something.
Arrival & Opening
Settle in. Meet the land and the women you'll be held by. The evening opens with a welcome ceremony — a threshold crossing that marks the beginning of the passage. This night is about arrival, not agenda.
Descent
The work begins. Morning somatic practice. Circle in the afternoon — the first real one, where what's true starts to surface. An evening fire to begin the process of naming what you've been carrying.
The Deep
The longest day and the most interior. Nature immersion in the old growth forest. A grief tending ceremony in the afternoon. This is the day most women describe as the hardest — and the one they remember most.
Turning
Something shifts. Morning breathwork. Integration circle. An afternoon of unstructured time — for journaling, walking, sitting with what's moved through you. The evening holds space for what wants to emerge.
Emergence
The work of becoming. A closing ceremony that marks the threshold — the crossing from who you arrived as to who you're stepping into. Lighter. Clearer. Changed in ways you'll keep discovering.
Departure
A slow morning. Final breakfast together. Space to say what needs saying before you return to your life — with everything you came here carrying, transformed.
Your Facilitators
Every Wild Passage retreat is held by a carefully chosen team. For the Olympic Peninsula, you'll be working with these women.
Trained in the Francis Weller lineage of grief work, Dahlia has facilitated grief circles and threshold ceremonies for over a decade. Her work is rooted in the belief that grief, fully felt, is one of the most liberating forces available to us. She leads the ceremonial elements across select Wild Passage retreats.
Dahlia Reyes
She created Wild Passage from her own threshold experience and has held over 200 women through this work. She leads the circle, holds the arc of the retreat, and is present from your first morning to your last.
Taryn Meeks
Lead Facilitator
Rites of passage facilitator
Yuki Tanaka
Yoga & somatic awareness
Yuki weaves together conscious movement, yoga, and somatic awareness into sessions that meet the body exactly where it is. She doesn't teach fitness — she teaches presence. Her morning practices at Wild Passage are where many women first feel the retreat begin to work.

Scottish Highlands Retreat
Claire B.
"I'm not someone who does retreats. I don't really believe in crystals or group hugs. But something made me say yes — and what I found was rigorous, grounded, and genuinely transformative in a way I'm still integrating six months later."
Oaxacan Highlands Retreat
Simone R.
"I was worried I'd be the most broken one in the room. That I'd take up too much space, cry too much, need too much. Instead I found twelve women who were all carrying something real — and for the first time in years I didn't have to hold any of it alone."
Olympic Peninsula Retreat
Mara T.
"I almost talked myself out of it three times. The price felt like a lot. The timing felt impossible. And it was the most important five days of the last decade of my life. I came in holding a grief I hadn't named yet. I left knowing exactly what I was releasing — and what I was stepping into."
The women who've walked through Wild Passage tell it better than we can.

Frequently Asked Questions
No prior experience is needed — only openness. The practices are explained and held carefully. You'll never be pushed further than you're ready to go.
Do I need experience with somatic work or ceremony?
Yes — many attendees are in active therapy and find the retreat deepens that work. We do ask that you're stable and not in acute crisis. If you're unsure, reach out before booking and we'll have an honest conversation.
What if I'm in therapy? Can I still attend?
Most women come alone. The circle creates its own intimacy quickly. You will not feel like a stranger for long.
I'll be traveling alone. Is that okay?
The retreat is held at a curated retreat center on the Peninsula. Both shared and private room options are available — you'll indicate your preference at booking. All accommodation is included in the investment.
What's the accommodation like?
Deposits are non-refundable. Full payments are refundable up to 60 days before the retreat. After that, we offer a credit toward a future retreat. We strongly recommend travel insurance.
What's the refund and cancellation policy?
All meals are prepared with whole, nourishing ingredients. Please note your dietary needs in the intake form — we accommodate most restrictions and will confirm with you directly.
