By Still Waters for Women
30th July - 3rd August 2025
We begin as a circle of women, then walk into the wilderness in solitude to access our deep knowing. We return to the circle of women, dreamt by the earth with our stories as gifts to the world.
Join us for this 5-day programme which will include a 18-hour solo fast. We will gather to retreat in Denmark, one hour from Copenhagen deep in the forest beside the ocean at Lotte’s home.
We offer a car picking up service and dropping from where you will stay
Welcome meal for first night
Guided by Natasha Lythgoe and Lotte Trinhammer
Courting A deeper Intimacy with Life
There are few moments more peaceful and inspiring than the call of wild geese, cormorant and swan whilst the sun settles ever-so-slowly over the ocean.
This mid-summer retreat serves both as an introduction to a listening relationship with the natural world or an opportunity to deepen these intuitive ways of knowing.
Together we will dive into the big listen, our ability to listen with all of ourselves to all that is speaking within us and around us.
These deep summer days have a very particular feeling - a lingering relaxed resting aliveness -resting in the arms of its own unfolding. This is the time when we will meet nature to bring something calling for our attention into dream circles, sharing councils, time alone to reflect, and guided experiences between forest and ocean.
The heart of our time together will constellate around the wilderness vigil | solo fast in which we walk into the wilderness in solitude at dawn, following the sun until dusk when we will gathering back to the circle of women at the shore line.
Through this ceremony we are reminded of the gossamer delicate veil which rests between mystery and the mundane. Inviting us into the mytho-poetic potential of our natural participation with more-than-human-world. Insights may come in real and significant ways when we take the time to truly listen.
Coming home to your true nature and
sensing your belonging to the world
Traditional cultures throughout time were intimately bonded with the more-than-human world, which included nature ‘out there’, the realm of imagination, dream and myths. These relationships located us humans deeply within the family of things, in relationship with the different levels of reality, interconnected with all life.
Together we remind ourselves and each other that we can step outside of our cultures insistence on faster, harder, more and open to the wisdom that arrives through a sense of spaciousness within, sensitivity, relaxed awake awareness.

Spending time in nature immersed in awe-inspiring landscapes re-humanises us. Nature supports rest, opening up to a bigger perspective, and reconnect us with what matters most.
At its core, this work is about relatedness, how to cultivate healing and belonging by weaving yourself into deeper intimacy with life.
Exploring both our inner nature and outer nature, the binding thread of my work aspires to collude with wild medicine; awakening your true nature, connecting you with your innate wisdom and bringing you home to your inner compass, a compass aligned with your heart.

Our Home & Accommodation
Lotte and I are excited to welcome you and share with you Lotte's home in the midst of this UNESCO World Heritage coastline, between the ocean and forest in Denmark.
The diverse forest extends over 14 kms and is home to mature oak, beech, thuja, larch, chestnut, birch, pine - just to mention a few species. The shoreline here that faces north to Sweden is forest lined with strings of stunning bays.
Listening to the stories of wind, the moving tides and shifting light. Scents of warm pine, the laughter like jay and songs of black bird, swan and sea eagle. Echoes of footprints of deer and of ancient wisdom of the fossils imprinted in the shoreline… time spent in the land around Lotte’s home nests in my heart, and hers! We’d love to share this with you.
Tending a regenerative ethic, 100% of all the energy used comes from renewable sources, and the majority of our food is organic, local and sustainably sourced.

One of our greatest fears is to eat the wildness of the world.
Our mothers intuitively understood something essential: the green is poisonous to civilisation. If we eat the wild, it begins to work inside us, altering us, changing us.
Soon, if we eat too much, we will no longer fit the suit that has been made for us. Our hair will begin to grow long and ragged. Our gait and how we hold our body will change. A wild light begins to gleam in our eyes. Our words start to sound strange, nonlinear, emotional. Unpractical. Poetic.
Once we have tasted this wildness, we begin to hunger for a food long denied us, and the more we eat of it the more we will awaken. It is no wonder that we are taught to close off our senses to Nature. Through these channels, the green paws of Nature enter into us, climb over us, search within us, find all our hiding places, burst us open, and blind the intellectual eye with hanging tendrils of green.

Your Guides:
Natasha Lythgoe and Lotte Trinhammer
I’m Natasha, also known by my Buddhist name Nagadipa which means light in the depths - this name was given to me as a mirror of my own essence and as life teaching. I guide individuals and groups through transformative nature-based experiences. With over twenty years of experience leading programmes I have been moved and honoured to witness countless stories; listening and attending to what has purchase on folks’ hearts.
The way I work weaves together nature-based rites of passage which support life transitions in nature, somatic practices that understand the wisdom of the body, myth-making and the guiding of sacred soul journeys for women.
I´m dedicated to inspire and facilitate healing and compassion, and I´m therefore exited to co-guide with Natasha on journeys towards authentic contact in both inner and outer landscapes.
A “strange” longing led me on a journey including Yoga, Meditation, Dancing, Buddhism, shamanism and a significant load of books and classes of all kinds!
Every chance I get you will find me in the forrest – with leaves in my hair and dirt on my cheek. It never fails to amaze me the magic that happens when we take our practice outdoors. The natural world has such wisdom – simple, raw, wild, unpredictable and beautiful. Here anyone willing to listen will get just the answer they need – to bring back home, to digest and to grow.
My journey so far has helped me reclaim and integrate my wildness, and to listen and be true to my longing for an authentic, natural and passionate life.
