About your Hosts

Jodie Bond is a burlesque performer, writer, and nature-lover with a passion for helping women reconnect with their sensuality and confidence. Her work blends the art of movement, the magic of storytelling, and the wisdom of the natural world to create transformative experiences that are both deeply empowering and joyfully liberating.

As a burlesque artist, she has spent years exploring the art of sensual expression and embodied confidence, learning first-hand how dance can be a gateway to empowerment. She knows what it means to step onto a stage—both literal and metaphorical—and fully own your presence, to take up space with boldness and joy. She brings this understanding into workshops, helping women reconnect with their sensual selves in ways that feel playful, powerful, and deeply liberating.

As a writer, Jodie has long been drawn to the power of stories and expression. She weaves character and narrative into her workshops, using it as a tool for reflection, transformation, and self-discovery.

Her deep connection to nature is at the heart of her practice. With experience in nature communication, she believes the land holds an innate power to heal, awaken, and inspire.

This retreat is the culmination of Jodie’s passions—a space where movement, ritual, and nature come together to support women in stepping into their fullest, wildest selves. With warmth and a deep respect for each woman’s journey, she creates an environment where every woman can feel safe to explore, express, and reclaim her own unique sensuality.

Pridie Tiernan is a storyteller and ethnobotanist committed to reconnecting us with the plants we once used to nourish, nurture and heal. She weaves a rich mix of oral storytelling into the teaching of wilderness skills; rekindling our relationship with the natural world and empowering us to feel at one with the wild.

As a storyteller, she has spent many years performing stories that create a sense of familiarity and connection with nature, especially in those that gift us the opportunity to explore the concept of the "wild woman" - that powerful, untamed force connected to the natural world that can be both nurturing and fierce, instinctual, passionate and creative. Her work encourages a reconnection with that wildness - rediscovering our feral inventiveness and power - through the sharing of ancient stories and the teaching of practical survival skills.

As an ethnobotanist, Pridie has long been fascinated by the power of plants. Her sensory herbalism, seasonal woodcraft and rewilding workshops, draw our native flora onto centre stage, embracing them as a potent way of gaining insight into ourselves and our place in the world, taking control of our bodies, and tapping into the magic of the natural world.

This retreat takes place at her home in the heart of the Black Mountains—a safe and beautiful space where the sharing of stories and ancestral skills brings people together in community and encourages a change in the way we interact with nature. Here, women can return to that state of ‘awakeness’ we once enjoyed when we thrived in the wild - all senses firing, the herbs and flowers our allies, and the powerful, untamed force that is our wild woman fully embraced and unleashed!
