WILD AMBROSIA
A Medicine Retreat for Women
Toulouse, France| 11th – 16th June 2025
This powerful women’s retreat will be focused on earth-centred practices and deep ceremonial work with ancestral plant wisdom.
Meeting with a group of like-minded women for a common purpose, is a powerful way to transform your own life through the encouragement, love and support of Sisterhood.
In a safe and supportive environment, we’ll also be working with various group practices to foster personal transformation, empowerment and inner-growth.
This retreat is an exquisite combination of Ceremonies, Rituals, Modalities and Facilitators to support you to embody your highest creative potential.
They are energetic weavings designed to support you in understanding your gifts, gain clarity on your life path and purpose & free you from limiting patterns, beliefs and conditioning.
We heal ancestral lines, rekindle our relationship with nature and spirit, and awaken our intuitive wisdom.
AND, we have lots of fun!
This is true sovereignty.
Women on our retreats leave feeling awakened, empowered and ready to step into their CREATIVE POTENTIAL!

A personal note from me:
“I have so much gratitude for this Master Plant, it has been such a loving guide, wise elder and teacher in my life.
My work with this ancestral medicine has helped me heal deep trauma, connect to my purpose, and support me to remember my innate connection to All.
My prayer is to see the awareness and respect for sacred plant teachers as valuable doorways for healing and personal awareness continue to grow throughout our western culture.
Humanity is deeply in need of healing, and I truly believe that these ancestral visionary medicines hold incredible potential for waking us up from the slumbering state that has many hypnotically sleepwalking towards our own destruction, as well as the demise of the natural world.
I believe that natural medicines such as this can help us remember the truth of who we are, our divine purpose, and the unique gifts we each are born with.
When we heal ourselves, we heal the world around us.”
~ Beáta Alföldi ~
Inspiration:
I believe that personal transformation is the only way to greater consciousness and a better world, and that working consciously with ancestral plant wisdom, is one of the most effective tools for bringing about that change.
I am in a unique position to offer deeply rewarding work with this master plant teacher. I share with you a culture, a language and a mindset. Years of personal work and training with ancestral medicines have rendered me an ‘initiate’ of a kind.
I’m a Medicine Woman, shamanic practitioner, spiritual guide, workshop facilitator and seer, and have discovered a way for the western mind to navigate and dialogue with the wonders, insights and healing capacities of this potent Ancestral Medicine.
Most of us live in the world of the senses and believe that only the things we can see, touch and hear are ‘real’. Westerners don’t easily accept the world of Spirit as ‘real’ and we generally are resistant to it.
Yet there is a way to understand, to connect and embrace the world of the intangible through deep work with the wisdom of this master plant.
This is what I offer you: an approach that will grant you an entrée into the world of Spirit of which you are an intimate part.
Come explore the world of infinite possibilities and profound healing.
The Focus:
Working with ancestral plant wisdom, is the path of profound healing through the heart. It is the work of the heart not the mind, so ‘feeling the call’ to work with a master plant is a feeling that defies words and reason.
It is a call from the depth of your Soul.
For those of us crossing paths with this wonder in any way – meeting someone who has taken it, watching a documentary, reading an article – it’s because our spirits are prodding us toward a tool that right now, at this moment in our lives, can work for us.
That is what I personally believe. If you wish to heal and live through the heart, expand your consciousness and be all you can be – join us for this extraordinary retreat experience!
This is a one-of-a-kind journey that will turn your life around: an extraordinary retreat with ancestral plant wisdom led by a deeply experienced facilitator.
I share retreats around the world using a range of earth-centred practices and skilled processes to prepare you to take maximum advantage of the journey.
What’s important to me is that I can send you home, knowing that you’re well equipped to translate what you’ve learned into long-lasting and effective change in your life.
This retreat is set in the South of France on a private, family-owned property; surrounded by birdsong, warmth, beauty and nature.
Experience:
Preparation
Working with ancestral plant wisdom, immerses you in a space both natural and sacred, wherein you discover the essence and interconnectedness of life. However, to successfully navigate this space you need careful guidance to avoid disappointment, frustration or confusion. Preparation prior to the ceremony is therefore a key element so that you can access the remarkable characteristics of this potent plant.
Integration
Integrating this experience means making it “real” and part of your everyday life. Sharing with others and witnessing within a group context are fundamental to making sense of the messages, visions and revelations that the ceremony has offered. The processes used during this integration period are an extension of the experience.
Ceremony
An ancestral plant wisdom ceremony is a powerful heart-opening journey for seekers ready to explore their capacity to live a fulfilled, joyful and meaningful life. The fundamental aspects of this event is the ceremonial work itself, as well as the rituals that empower it and offer each person a sacred and safe container for personal transformation.
