born wild
where the wild woman initiates you and you do not return the same
6 Days / 5 Nights/may 3-8, 2026
Nosara, Costa Rica / Tierra Encantada
Born Wild is intentionally intimate and curated.
If you feel the pull, begin with the application.
THE WILD WOMAN is a threshold INITIATRIX
She waits for you at the threshold of what was and what will be.
Not because you are broken or behind or aren't healed enough.
But because you are outgrowing another version of yourself, and your life.
You have built the capacity to call more of yourself back home.
It doesn’t start as a crisis.
It starts as a subtle ache you can no longer ignore.
A pressure under the ribs when you say yes to something that should feel aligned — but doesn’t.
A restlessness in your body after years of doing the inner work.
A quiet hunger beneath the competence.
A rumble from the ground beneath and through you, liberating stuck energy.
Unleashing your full throated voice.
You’ve built a life.
You’ve healed.
You’ve grown.
You’ve done the therapy and the breath work.
You have danced with your own shadow.
You know your patterns.
You practice non-violent communication,
even when others don't know how to meet you in it.
You try so hard to take responsibility fully and gracefully.
And yet —
If you’re honest —
There is still a part of you that feels... restrained.
Like your wings are waiting to unfurl behind your back muscle.
Like a roar coming up from the depths of your belly but getting stuck in your throat.
Too contained.
Pretzeled.
In a new straight jacket you can't quite name.
When you realize you are doing it again.
You are aiming for a new version of "goodness."
And yet, you can feel the heat, a intensifying pulse, a thrumming and and drumming growing stronger in your body.
She is waking up in you.
The part whose hips knew the truth before your mouth did.
The part who trusted instinct over optics, frameworks and vanity metrics.
The part who felt safest in nature, in sweat, in movement, in breath, in singing.
The part who moved through the world not as a "good" person — but as pulse of presence.
You already know you don’t need to be saved.
You wouldn't even want to be saved if it was available anymore.
But something in you is done negotiating with any kind of smallness.
Any kind of bending or contorting, or lying to yourself.
This is the energy of the Wild Woman meeting you at the thresholds of identity as you orient around authenticity over goodness.
So you can fully recover your inner Wild Daughter.
The one who holds important medicine for you.
She has not disappeared.
She has been waiting for a room strong enough to meet her intensity,
her unique dance of light and shadow,
so she her wildness can fully unfurl and she can truly be met.
You might be:
In the middle of a breakup or have just left a relationship.
Closing a chapter unexpectedly.
Speaking truths you’ve held in your throat for years.
Or—
On the edge of expansion.
Feeling a new kind of leadership rising.
Feeling the winds shift on how you want to show up and serve in the world.
Sensing a creative ignition that scares you.
Or—
Outgrowing your current identity or the binaries of your Patriarchal Daughter's conditioning.
Your current home.
Your current role or level of visibility.
Your current relationship to yourself or a beloved.
Or—
Standing in something beautiful but knowing it cannot stay as it is.
Feeling the quiet tremor of “more.”
Different thresholds.
Same portal.
You need somewhere your body can fully land before the next chapter accelerates with the year of the Fire Horse.
This is not about novelty.
It is not about repeating work you’ve already done.
It is about meeting the woman you have always been beneath the masks and patriarchal costumes.
As you prepare to begin to run.
Why Now?
2026 is the year of the fire horse
Because it's time. Because you are needed. In your fullness. Alive. Turned On.
Unfuckable-with.
2026 is a Fire Horse year — a rare, once-every-60-years cycle long associated with fierce feminine destiny, new beginnings, passion, reclamation of power, creative combustion, and unapologetic self-sovereignty.
Historically, Fire Horse women were seen as “too much”:
too powerful, too intuitive, too wild to be controlled.
The kind of women who change timelines,
disrupt old systems,
and refuses to be domesticated.
This year brings that energy back online for all of us.
The Fire Horse asks one thing of you:
You must be able to hold your truest power without collapsing.
You cannot ride a year like this from the neck up.
You need your body online, your instincts awake, and your inner Wild Woman fully present.
This is exactly what Born Wild is for.
It will prepare you ceremonially to:
-
connect with the energy of the land, elements and your ancestral line
- anchor into the truth beneath your masks
-
strengthen your nervous system capacity
-
reclaim the instinctual feminine wisdom that will lead you in this next era
This is not a getaway.
It is initiation — a ritual crossing into the woman you’re becoming.
The Fire Horse does not wait.
And you were not born to enter this cycle half-asleep.
You have been preparing for this moment for years, whether or not you were consciously aware of it.
This is your ignition point.
NoSara:
The land that remembers you
There are places on earth that feel like the strong and loving arms of Mother Earth.
Nosara is one of them.
A Blue Zone on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, it is a convergence point of jungle, ocean, rain, mountain wind, volcanic soil, wildlife, and ancient feminine presence.
Here, the veils between worlds thin.
The land watches you.
The animals track you.
The elements respond to you.
Monkeys could swing through the canopy during ceremony as if called into the circle.
Birds descend and landed near us mid-invocation.
Iguanas station themselves by the pool as guardians, silent and unflinching.
The wind changes direction as women spoke long-buried truths.
This land is not a backdrop.
She is an active participant.
A teacher.
A remembering.
A guide.
An initiator.
Part of the Wild Woman field.
We chose this week between Beltane and the dark moon with precision — a seasonal portal of eros, blooming, wildfire creativity, and the kind of rebirth that arrives when women gather in embodied devotion.
You are not coming here to retreat from life.
You are coming here to slow down, resource yourself, ignite, remember, re-enter your life as the woman who remembers the sacred pulse of who she has always been beneath the masks.
Born WILd
Most retreats offer rest and relaxation, connection, and some light inner work.
This is not that.
Born Wild is a baptism into your archetypal underworld and your primal essence — a rite of passage held inside the field of the Wild Woman herself.
This is where the masks of your conditioned self dissolve and fall away.
Where your inner Wild Daughter is liberated and remembered.
Where your unclaimed instincts come roaring back into your body.
Where the parts of you you’ve spent your whole life suppressing become your power.
Where eros becomes clarity.
Where grief becomes belonging.
Where rage becomes directed passion.
Where your voice becomes a channel instead of defense.
This is where women remember their original nature
before the conditioning,
before the silencing,
before the shrinking,
before the obedience.
You don’t leave this retreat —
you burst out of your old skin and into the rhythm of your bones.
Where to begin? After the retreat, I felt like I was finally in my body (even after years of embodiment work). And truly being in my body changed everything. This retreat is more than a program—it’s a remembering. It’s church. It’s re-parenting. It’s becoming.
And it’s fucking fun. Beth’s temple spaces are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and every woman deserves to know this kind of magic.

How women describe
born Wild
I asked the women from the last round a simple question:
“If you could describe Born Wild in a few words… what would you say?”
Here is what they shared:
Expanding. Illuminating. Nourishing. Sacred.
Connection. Sisterhood. Freeing. A return to self. Inspiring. Awakening.
Vulnerable. Intense. Honest. Rooted. Authentic. Expansive.
A Homecoming.
Magical. Transformative. Deep. Alchemical.
Wild. Illuminating.
Rupturing—and rapturing.
Present. Spiritual. A remembering. Empowering. Truth-revealing.
Love-filled. Alive. Boundary-pushing. Enlightening.
Nourishing. Life-giving.
Witchy. Esoteric. Sensual. Nourishing, Activating (in the best ways).
These are the words women reach for when they try to describe something that ultimately defies language:
a wild, sacred, alchemical return to themselves.
YOUR Desire To fully unleash
is growing
The archetype of the Wild Woman is not an identity to adopt.
She is a powerful guide and primordial field you step into,
an ancient rhythm your body remembers,
a force that rearranges you from the inside out.
If you are reading this, she has already arrived in your awareness.
She is a truth-teller, and shows up when you are at a threshold.
This retreat is the initiation where she wakes fully in you —
and you remember who you truly are, the medicine your Wild Daughter carries,
and the invitation of the threshold you stand on.
Even if you’ve danced with the Wild Woman before—you know her power,
if you feel the call again, it’s because she has more to reveal.
New layers. New instincts.
New aspects of your embodiment waiting to be unleashed.
The Wild Woman is not a one-time meeting—she is a lifelong remembering.
If you have worked with me before
if you have already attended retreats
If you have already met the Wild Woman and begun to uncover your inner Wild One.
You are not starting over.
You are deepening.
Each season reveals a new edge.
Each return carries different medicine.
Each threshold asks for a wider nervous system.
The Fire Horse year will amplify whatever is ready to move.
Born Wild is where you calibrate before that amplification begins.
You come here to:
Stabilize expansion.
Integrate shedding.
Anchor leadership.
Reclaim eros.
Strengthen your capacity to hold what is coming.
Not because you are broken.
Because you are always becoming.
Always walking the inner spiral deeper and deeper as you create in your external world.
If the Wild Woman is calling you again, it is because she has more to reveal.
I’ve been getting in touch with my child self again, the one I forgot how to be.
I left the Wild Woman Retreat buzzing, filled with insight and alive in my body. It was intense, yes—but filled with real love, real aliveness, and real growth. This work cracked something open in me.

“There is nothing quite like being held by the feminine in this way. The Wild Woman Retreat was magical, transformative, deep, and alchemical. I arrived fragmented and left feeling woven back together. The experience brought me home to myself, to my body, and to the medicine I carry. It was truly life-changing.

Who this is FOR
✔️ You are not afraid to be catalyzed, ignited, and to swim in the deep waters of energy and emotion.
✔️ You have done inner work, emotional healing, and are ready for an even deeper embodiment.
✔️ You are craving a truth beyond strategy, spirituality, perfection, or even words.
✔️ Your Wild Woman has been whispering — and you’re ready to hear her roar.
✔️ You want to birth or initiate a new chapter of your life with clarity and full-bodied presence.
✔️ You are devoted to living from the union of your soul and body, not from your conditioning.
✔️ You are intrigued and desire to dance, move, and enter ritual with the Sacred Feminine — to allow her to awaken you.
✔️ You feel new layers waking inside you and are ready to meet them fully.
Who this is NOT FOR
✘ You are seeking a relaxing vacation rather than an initiation.
This is pleasurable, yes. This will be wildly fun and catalytic, but it is important to remember that this is ceremony, not tourism or vacation.
✘ Your body doesn’t yet feel safe or comfortable experiencing big emotions or being witnessed in groups.
This work requires presence, grounding, and self-trust.
✘ You are new to deep inner work or healing through the body.
This retreat is for women who have already cultivated inner capacity with their nervous system, and navigating their emotional life.
✘ You struggle to track yourself, ask for what you need, or stay rooted in group environments.
Your voice and self-responsibility are essential to the integrity of the container and the field we are co-creating.
✘ You’re not ready to honor the ceremonial field — to show up fully and participate in the sessions that allow the medicine to land.
✘ You desire fun and entertainment over deep and catalytic transformation.
This is not just play (although there will be plenty), it is an archetypal portal.
✘ You avoid responsibility for your inner world.
This work requires sovereignty, and awareness around our projection on other women.
✘ You prefer comfort over truth.
The Wild Woman will demand your honesty, not your polish. She humbles our Patriarchal Daughter.
Meet your guide
Hi, love. I'm Beth Clayton.
Somatic coach. Archetypal guide.
Initiator. Lantern-holder.
Wild Woman devotee.
For over fifteen years, I have guided women through the dark woods of self-abandonment back into the fierce, erotic, sovereign pulse of their original nature, and essential Self.
This isn’t theory. I’ve bled, wept, and roared through these rites myself.
Every element of this retreat has been forged in the fire of my lived experience — and now I offer it as a torch in your hand.
I did not meet my Wild Woman through books or theory.
I met her in grief, rage, addiction, motherhood, healing, and the intimate rooms of my own shadow.
She is the force that first initiated me
and the frequency that pulses beneath all of my work.
Born Wild is the culmination of everything I have survived, remembered, and returned to —
an initiation I now pass to the women who are ready.
She was a part of my first embodied awakening, and continues to initiate me at every level of new growth.
The experience
Below is the scaffolding that holds the ineffable.
The bones that give shape to the mystery.
This retreat is crafted as a living temple for your Wild Woman awakening, blending ritual, embodiment, and sacred sisterhood.
This retreat is crafted as a living temple for your Wild Woman awakening, blending ritual, embodiment, and sacred sisterhood.
There were so many powerful insights that came through for me. A deeper awareness of my voice and the places I’ve been afraid to speak my truth.
A new understanding of what it means to live a whole life instead of a half-life.
A reclamation of joy and play that doesn’t deny my darkness or grief.
A felt sense of my own power — and the unmistakable support of thousands of ancestors behind me.

Expansion & Emotional Alchemy
You will expand to hold and transmute a new edge of the sensations your Patriarchal Daughter learned to avoid,
no matter how long you have been doing the inner work.
Rage, grief, desire, fear — metabolized into clarity, presence, and power.
This is the foundation that makes true freedom possible.
And you will feel your soul expanding and reaching through your body.
Archetypal Invocation: Wild Daughter & Wild Woman
We begin with your forgotten Wild Child that your Good Girl is eclipsing— the one who felt too much, wanted too much, loved too much.
Then we call in the Wild Woman — the fully expressed, embodied, sovereign force who connects you to your ancestral lineage, and leads you into the inner spiral back home.
These archetypes do not stay conceptual.
They take up residence in your body.
Embodied Movement Journeys
Guided movement experiences that melt your armor and loosen what has been coiled for decades.
Movement that is not choreography, but instinct.
Not performance, but revelation.
Your body will remember her own language.
Erotic Awakening & Pleasure as Power
Not sexual performance.
Not aesthetics.
True eros — as fuel, intuition, and life force.
This awakens your capacity to receive, create, and lead from your deepest center.
Sacred Sisterhood as Mirror & Midwife
This is ritual-grade witnessing — the kind that softens shame and expands identity.
You will be seen on a level most women never experience.
You will see others in ways that awaken what you didn’t know you had.
Nature Immersion & Community-Led Ceremony
We work in collaboration with the land and with local ceremonialists and practitioners who carry the lineage of jungle, earth, and ancestral technology.
This grounds your transformation in roots much older than your current life.
Supportive Spa Rituals & On-Site Organic Food
Organic, garden-grown meals that nourish and support your system and energy.
Optional spa experiences from a world-class healer and spa (for an additional cost). There is a Spa on site.
Born Wild is intentionally intimate and curated.

Rituals That Frame Your Initiation
Your Journey Begins Before You Arrive… and Continues Long After You Return
Transformation this deep does not begin on Day 1 of the retreat.
It begins the moment you say yes.
To support you in crossing the threshold with clarity, devotion, and a steady nervous system, Born Wild includes two powerful ceremonial
circles over Zoom that bookend the retreat experience:
#1 The Archetypal Seed Planting Circle (Zoom)
Before Arrival
This is where you enter the field.
A live, group immersive Zoom circle designed to:
-
attune your body to the frequency of the Wild Woman
-
Connect energetically and emotionally with the other women attending the retreat
-
clear the static of who you’ve been performing as
-
identify the deeper pattern you are shedding
-
name the true North Star your Wild Woman is calling you toward
-
begin the emotional, spiritual, and energetic untethering that prepares you for the depth of the work
This is not “onboarding.”
This is a threshold ceremony—a deliberate stepping out of your old life so you can enter the retreat already cracked open, already listening, already connected to the archetype who will initiate you in Costa Rica.
#2 The Wild Woman Integration Circle Intensive (Zoom)
Two Weeks After Returning Home
The Wild Woman does not leave when you leave the jungle.
In this closing ritual, we gather again to:
-
root the transformation into your daily life
-
metabolize what cracked open during the retreat
-
translate your insights into embodiment
-
anchor the new identity emerging through your body
-
prevent spiritual whiplash, emotional collapse, or old patterns snapping back into place
This circle ensures that your initiation becomes a lived reality, not a beautiful and powerful memory.
Integration is where you become the woman the retreat revealed.

The Wild Woman beckons..
There is a moment in every woman’s life when the Wild Woman drums, hums, knocks or lights her match to the comfort of what was.
Not gently.
Not politely.
Not on a schedule.
She arrives like a memory.
A pulse.
A tremor in your ribs.
A knowing that says:
It’s time.
If you feel that tremor now, the pull now, do not ignore it.
Because the sooner you join, the sooner she can start bringing the magic into your life and preparing you for the work you will be doing together in May.
This is the portal.
This is the passageway.
This is the threshold you have been walking toward for years.
Your Wild Woman is ready.
The land is ready.
The circle is forming.
