In partnership with
We’re done whispering for relief, it’s time to shout for change.
We are proud to be hosting the first ever Valerie Wild Woman day retreat, where we’ll help you find and use your voice.
Hands up if you’ve ever been silenced, by others or yourself.
Hands up if you’ve played small, shrunk to avoid standing out.
Hands up if you’ve downplayed your strengths or achievements.
This. Ends. Now.
The voices of women have never been more vital.
Our experiences, wisdom, and knowledge are exactly what the world needs. We will not be overlooked or diminished. We are here to take up space, loudly and proudly. During the day, alongside the Valerie team, we will guide you through a powerful journey of self-discovery and liberation.
Together, we’ll break the silence, challenge the status quo, and reclaim the space that has always been ours. Together, let’s make midlife maxlife.
10:30-11am
Opening Ceremony with Sama.
No more playing small. No more staying quiet. We’re kicking off with unapologetic intention- committing to taking back our voices and our full power.
11am-12pm
Movement and Breathwork with Natasha De Grunwald.
For too long, we’ve held our breath, braced ourselves, and shrunk to fit the mould. Not here. Not today. Through breath and movement, we’ll release what’s been stuck, break free from the tension we’ve carried, and remind our bodies what it feels like to take up space - fully, freely, and without apology.
12-1pm
Lunch
Fuel up. Connect. No small talk, real unfiltered conversations.
1-2:30pm
Riverside Walk and Forest Bathing with Linda Prigarska.
Strip away the noise. Step into something bigger than yourself, we’ll explore how
nature moves through the seasons without restriction and control.
3-4pm
Voice Activation with Sama.
You’ve been told to quiet down, to soften your edges, to be polite. F*ck that. It’s time to turn the volume all the way up - we’ll practice using our voice even if it shakes.
4-5pm
Movement with Sama.
No stiffness, no hesitation, no second-guessing. Just you, moving with the full force of who you are. Wild and free. Take up space. Own it. This is just the beginning.

Sama Trinder
Multi-disciplinary Wellbeing Practitioner
I am both energy worker and entrepreneur. The founder of an award winning boutique hotel/Members club and wellbeing business, and a senior qualified yoga teacher and space holder.
At the age of 21, I took over my family's B&B, and had the vision to transform it into a boutique hotel with Michelin star restaurant. While raising a young family, I made it challenging, and surviving a severe mental health crisis at 29 was the turning point and catalyst for change.
Despite the challenges I was inspired to open a second, my dream business and in 2016 I created an eco wellbeing escape, bhuti which occupied a premium 5000sq ft space in South West London, it now is a soul health brand, offering things in multiple ways and locations.
