Women & Wildlife IV: April 22-25, 2022 in Austin, Texas
“To create alongside nature, to witness magic happening in real time, to remind ourselves that we, too are made of magic.”
An Intimate + Expansive experience, to break your heart wide open, in all the best ways.
Hello there, my name is Cynthia.
The day is here. The Launch of WOMEN & WILDLIFE IV. I’m so honored to be here to connect with you, and thank you so much for following along on my wild adventure.
I am so excited to introduce this one as the project itself has spent a whole year in refinement + reflection during 2021! As this program continues to expand and grow, I am focusing all my energy on elevating this immersion, offering one of a kind experiences, just like you.
After much time spent to heal, reflect, and gain insight on what my purpose was and what message I wanted to share with you, the only thing that stuck with me and resonated throughout this last year was this deep desire to share creativity, healing, and love. I truly love the work that I do in this realm of imagination and self-expression. I love the people that I’ve connected with in this journey. This project itself is where my passion, my talent, my purpose, and my values all align. I walk away from each experience full of inspiration, as the women I come across truly help me see that there is so much light in this world, despite our darkest days and toughest battles. I desire deeply to share this feeling with you, too. That is how I know I am called to do this work. I want to connect with you deeper than ever before, helping you connect with yourself in the most intimate ways.
I truly believe that art is free-therapy, healing in multiple ways, and provides a healthy and positive outlet for us to share our emotions. We are all story tellers with our personal experience to share. We all have our individual struggles, passions, talents, and interests. We all have a wild woman inside of us. Through nude work in nature, combined with an array of other healing modalities, we are able to connect deeply within our bodies, and within the earth to ground our nervous system, noticing the beauty that is around us, acknowledging that it also exists, within us. Together, we are consciously practicing vulnerability by creating in our rawest essence. The wildness within us cannot be tamed. That is why we will channel HER into art instead. That is the purpose.
As I explore this wild realm, chasing this feeling, I discover the capacity in which I am able to create from, and how limitless that can be if I allowed myself to believe that I was worthy and able. If I allowed myself to do the work of healing and aligning to achieve what I desire, I notice the shift in my reality; what attracts to me, and what detaches from me. By the law of manifestation and attraction, when you choose to align with your deepest desires, you will receive divine pleasure and satisfaction. There is no other way. There is so much power in choice, if we do have it, AND in surrender, for the times we don’t. You have this power, too. We are all here to remind you. This is the intention.
As we gather together on a 4 day and 3 night immersive experience, you will have access to a group of amazing women, ready and able to support you through this journey. We are going to dive deep within ourselves to create from a place of true love and acceptance. We are going to rumble with vulnerability and discomfort to discover what lies on the other side of our own limited beliefs. We are going to hold space for others to share, express, feel, and intuitively embrace all their differences, to accept our uniqueness, while uplifting one another. We are going to surrender to the unknown and yet trust in the process that we are all gathered here today for the same reason. Healing is not always pretty, it is often most difficult. Although, healing does not have to be done alone.
The same voice that lead me to create this project is the same voice that is guiding you to read this right now. I hope you feel a huge “fuck yes” within your bones, like I do. I invite you to explore the infinite potential that awaits you as we gather energetically to bond through sisterhood, nature, and limitless expansion.

Wanna know what all the rave is about? Our divine babes share their personal experiences below.
“The experience of Women & Wildlife without a doubt is unparalleled. As someone who’s attended more than once, I can tell you every retreat gets better and better. Cynthia does a phenomenal job of curating an environment of strength, love, and encouragement. The first time I went, I had no idea what I was actually getting myself into, and yet it exceeded any expectations I could’ve had. Every single thing involved on the retreat is so intentional and purposeful- with the intent to help you evolve not only as a woman, but as a human being. The culture that Cynthia creates is something you NEED to experience for yourself. Each time, I walk away more empowered, striving to embody everything that is Women & Wildlife. This retreat will open you up in ways you didn’t know possible and test you in ways you had no idea you needed.” - Sierra G.
"I am a writer at heart and I still feel as though I cannot gather the words to properly illustrate how intense and powerful the Women & Wildlife retreat was for me. Cynthia herself has such a strong presence and has found an excellent balance between taking the lead in what she does while also creating a safe atmosphere for you to divulge your most intimate self, both emotionally and physically. The bonds created within this retreat felt as though they were destined, women were strangers on a Thursday and sisters on a Friday. I felt more comfortable baring my soul, breasts, and mind to the women that I met here than I have with some of my longest lovers. There’s something very primal, very healing, and very nurturing about being in a safe space of women and allowing every single inch of me to be directly in contact with the Earth. I felt as though the weight of everything I was expected to be completely faded away and transformed itself into activating everything that I already am. I am very grateful and ecstatic that I invested in myself and entered this portal of raw femininity, authentic expression, unapologetic nudity, and emotional expansion.” - Jaqueline M.
“I didn't know how much I needed this experience in my life. Participating in the Women & Wildlife retreat was by far one of the most impactful excursions I've done. The yoga, bonding exercises, the delicious meals, and the connection to nature with the other women was amazing for lack of a better word. Cynthia and Michelle were able to take complete strangers and help us walk away as sisters. Words don't do it justice. I returned home with a refreshed and motivated attitude towards life again. I returned home to womanhood. Thank you again for this wonderful weekend of femininity, vulnerability, and sisterhood.” - Johana Q.
