Women of the World — UNITE
As part of a powerful series Medicine Woman will be sharing throughout the year, we are overjoyed to welcome the incredible Platinum award-winning musician and women’s rights advocate Yael Deckelbaum to Devon, as we gather to honour International Women’s Day.
This retreat was born from a vision held by Lucy Wylde, Founder of Medicine Woman, as she deepens her devotion to women’s work. She shares:
“For me, what truly matters is that we do not turn a blind eye to what is happening in the world. We have the power to come together, to listen, to witness, and to share in the lived experiences of women across the globe. To pray for peace. To pray for equity. And to remember, deeply, that we are not free until all women are free.”
The day will be lovingly held by Urtema Dolphin, an elder that has been a part of Medicine Woman from the start, who will ground and open the space. From there, Yael Deckelbaum will share stories and songs gathered from her experiences of connecting with communities and women around the world, followed by Steph Magenta, whose breathwork and unwavering advocacy for safety and equity bring profound embodiment and truth. The day will culminate in Yael’s powerful live music, including songs from her album dedicated to women worldwide, ‘What About The Women’
This gathering is set to be deeply moving and transformative, an invitation to lean in rather than look away, to remember our shared humanity, and to leave empowered with a felt sense of how we each can be a voice for change and to stand for a future where our daughters and sons can grow in safety, equity and peace.
A day of prayer, presence, and collective remembrance.
A call to unity.
A remembering that our liberation is bound together.
MEDICINE WOMAN gathering is creating foundations for a deeper and more aligned return in 2027.

ABOUT US
Our Annual Gathering
For generations, our ancestors envisioned a time when women and daughters would gather in sacred circles— reconnecting with the wild, nurturing wisdom that lies deep within. Today, Medicine Woman invites you to return to your roots and embrace the power of sisterhood in a transformative, co-creative sanctuary.
Here, beneath an open sky, Medicine Woman aims to bring a wealth of inspiration by blending modern and ancient arts, crafts, dance, music, and enlightening talks.
This journey gently awakens the wild and innate wisdom within every woman, allowing her to embrace her inner beauty and unlock her profound inner knowing.
Imagine stepping onto the soft soil, feet bare upon the earth, the sound of women singing in circle, the warmth of the fire, a gentle touch from the sisters each side of you as we weave and mend ourselves back together, to wholeness, to our soft and wild nature, awakening to our sovereign medicine in complete harmony with the earth.
This gathering is not just an event—it’s a return to the village. It’s a heartfelt call to lay down your armour and remember the medicine that lives within you, nurtured by the legacy of our grandmothers, the ancient ones. In this sacred space, every woman is invited to step into her power, weaving her sorrows into golden threads of connection and hope.
"The wild woman is the one who knows how to live and thrive in the darkest of times, and how to find the light in the darkest places." --Clarissa Estes Pinkola
Step onto this sacred soil and reawaken the wild essence within you as we, as women, rekindle our profound connection with the Earth. Here, we embrace her wisdom and rediscover the art of living in harmony, reestablishing our sacred bond with our Earth Mother and relearning the dance of reciprocity. Because Medicine Woman is more than just a gathering; it's a journey of self-discovery and remembrance. As we immerse ourselves in the sisterhood and connect with our greatest mother, the Earth, we open the door to a world of endless possibilities.
Join us in reclaiming the wisdom of our ancestors. Step into the circle, reawaken your wild essence, and reconnect with the earth and with one another. Together, we will weave a tapestry of healing, empowerment, and love—reminding us that we are not alone, but a vibrant, living collective that is creating a herstory to remember.
“It isn't blood that makes you my sister
it's how you understand my heart
as though you carry it
in your body” --Rupi Kaur
