These pictures are worth thousands of words.
It’s hard to sum up the feeling of being at Wild Heart Women’s Gathering into a caption. A few words that come to mind: Joy. Tears. Laughter. Safety. Freedom. Release. Nourishment.
What other words come to you if you’ve been to a Wild Heart Women’s Gathering before?

Kayla Wexelberg is a holistic nutritionist, chef, and grief tender whose work lives at the intersection of nourishment, embodiment, and ritual. With over twenty years in the culinary world and nearly two decades devoted to holistic health, Kayla’s path has been guided by a deep reverence for culinary anthropology, the energetics of food, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.

As the founder of Taste Your Roots, she weaves together food, movement, and somatic practice to help individuals reconnect with their vitality. Her background as a chef is not separate from her grief work; rather, it is foundational. For Kayla, food is ceremony. Eating is relationship. The table is an altar where the spiritual, emotional, physical, and energetic bodies meet.

Over the past five years, Kayla has devoted herself to grief work, studying with respected teachers including Laurence Cole, Ahlay Blakey, Martin Prechtel, and most deeply, Francis Weller. She is trained in post-traumatic growth facilitation, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and parts work, bringing a trauma-informed and somatically grounded approach to her offerings. Her work honors grief as a natural and necessary response to love, loss, and change. With steady presence and attunement, she creates spaces where grief can be safely felt, expressed, and integrated within community.

Offering:

The Deep Feast

The Deep Feast is an eating meditation intended to enhance one’s awareness of nourishing the gates of many bodies. The spiritual, energetic, physical and emotional bodies all find union here as we explore what it is to connect with food far beyond the “standard” nourishment rituals that are practiced everyday. The workshop will include an array of flavors and textures and a hands-on feasting practice between participants. The feast is silent and deeply rewarding, leaving participants full on many levels.

Sacred Grief Ritual

A sacred gathering for women ready to release what is heavy and holding us down. In this circle, we create a safe and intentional space to honor grief, soften resistance, and surrender what no longer serves.

offering Opening Prayers, and:

Ritual Prayer and Braiding Sweetgrass

In this workshop, we will delve deep into the concept of prayer. In exploration we discuss the highest frequency of prayer, gratitude, as well as faith, belief systems, traditions and how prayer is ‘seen’ in the higher realms. We explore what it means to work as co- creators creating with Creator, declarations and fiats!

As indigenous people, we work with Nature and the gifts/ given to us to commune with Creator. We will share with you how and why we work with plants such as sweetgrass, sage, and cedar in altars and ceremony. Together, we will ritually braid sweetgrass that you will get to take home in and use in your own rituals. In this process, we deepen our connection and become empowered to Self, Creator, Miracles and Magic.

New this year, 2 special HORSES will join us at Wild Heart.

Horses offer a unique experience when paired with healing modalities. They are calm and grounding space holders, responding in real time to the energy presented to them. Starting a body work and/or energy work session by connecting with a horse is a powerful way to drop into a deeply healing and connecting space. Their peaceful presence primes the space for a relaxing and restorative experience.

Hazel and Hunter will be in the pasture throughout the retreat. They are quarter horses born together here in SouthWest Colorado. Coming on 6 years old, they’ve been together since birth and have a special bond.

Danielle Wilcock, grateful steward of Hazel Croft in Bayfield, CO. Certified Equine Assisted coach, Reiki and Shiatsu practitioner, and Auricular Acupuncturist will be offering 30 minute equine assisted wellness sessions throughout the Wild Heart Women’s gathering.

After booking your ticket, you will receive information on available time slots and how to book an individual Equine Assisted Wellness session.

We still have space for you but tickets are selling! Join us at the Gathering this year.
