Wild Wayfarer & She Rises Studios Presents:

The Raven’s Nest

Cultivate embodied self-love, nourish the inner Feminine, and create community magic

2024 Enrollment is Closed.

A weekend retreat for women.

To she who longs to be held in her authenticity, to land somewhere soft and celebratory, to come home to herself, to be nourished and cared for, to heal and to play:

Come to the Ravens Nest. 

Land Here.

At the core, the purpose of this women's retreat is to fortify your inner resources, fill your cup, and have so much dang fun that you walk away overflowing with joy, love, and a sense of sisterhood.

We dream of a space where women can land and be embraced and celebrated for all that they are. Because woman, you are worthy of celebration, care, and love.

This retreat is curated to be both deep and playful, transformative and nourishing, healing and accepting, light and dark—like the raven who flies briskly and lightly, adorned in black feathers, acting as a traveler between worlds.

We hope that amidst your flight through life and all that it asks of you, you land here for a few days to remember your worth, fill your cup, and play to your heart’s content.

  • Arrival is at 5pm.

    Our journey begins with play, connection, and grounding. Here, we will weave the soft, beautiful, and strong nest of support to act as our container for the retreat. You can expect introductions, games, orientation, a pool party, and an opening ceremony.

  • We will spend a full day out in Nature to come back to our wholeness, cultivate our inner resources, and drink from mother earth’s well of unconditional love. Here, we will fortify our capacity to receive love and care from others and ourselves.

    In the afternoon, we will compassionately work with our inner protective parts that block us from freedom, love, being seen, and our own blossoming. We will end our time on the land with a wild water ceremony.

    Before bed, we will have a pajama party with nourishing and playful activities to celebrate the deep, transformational work that you said yes to today, including putting on hydrating face masks, pulling oracle cards, playing games, and relaxing.

  • On day 3, we celebrate and blossom. We have done the incredible work of grounding, healing, letting go, and coming home to ourselves and to Nature. Now, we can truly open ourselves to being seen, adorned, celebrated, and loved.

    We will begin the day with a cacao ceremony to open our hearts and tap into our unconditional self-love.

    Then, we will move through a journey of self-care, play, and magic. In the evening, the main event will be a fairy costume dance party.

  • On our final morning together, we will offer an integration workshop, so that you will be able to carry the insights, the love, and the bliss from this retreat forward into your life.

    The retreat will come to an and with a closing ceremony, after which we will say our goodbyes.

    Check out is at 9am.

Your Guides

The Raven’s Nest is a collaborative women’s retreat facilitated by Jacqueline Thompson, founder of Wild Wayfarer and Deborah Grayum, founder of She Rises Studios.

  • Jacqueline is a nature reconnection guide, ritual facilitator, tantra and sexuality educator, and creative songwriter. Her specialty is in crafting meaningful journeys and experiences that help her community attune to nature’s rhythms, live with soul and purpose, and come home to their sensual bodies and creative potential.

    All of Jacqueline's programs are crafted from the perspective that we are not separate from nature, and that our deepest healing can be found in our embodied belonging to Earth.

    Drawing from her background as a wilderness guide, outdoor educator, horticultural therapy guide, yoga instructor, herbalist, songwriter, and performer, Jacqueline weaves wildness, the energy of the feminine, the erotic, and creative expression into the journeys that she crafts for others, including her signature moon ritual program, Women of the Moon, online courses, workshops, events, personalized ritual, and retreats.

  • Deborah's deep connection to the divine feminine guides her mission to empower and uplift women through her various endeavors, including cranial sacral therapy, energy work, mayofascial release, facials, and community events such as the Flagstaff Mistress Group. Her innovative studio has become a haven for anyone seeking nurturing touch, holistic wellness, restoration, and authentic connection.

    Deborah’s journey is rooted in her ability to tap into the playfulness of the inner child, or Maiden, while at the same time celebrating the nurturing presence of the Mother. Her collaboration in The Raven’s Nest promises an experience that nurtures the playful spirit while honoring the profound knowing that arises from multi-generational gatherings.

    Deborah is known for her ability to create safe, sacred spaces where women of all ages can come together, share their stories, and draw strength from one another.
