4 days of radical simplicity
in Great Cacapon, WV
Thursday October 16 - Monday October 20, 2025
Come wild woman, come home to your untamed heart. Step away from the hum of the mundane and rediscover the magic within it. Sink into the sacred embrace of West Virginia’s riverside wilderness, where autumn paints the land in hues of gold and fire. With the guidance of four incredible facilitators, you’ll be lovingly held in a circle of kindred souls—a space to breathe, listen, and remember who you truly are.
This retreat is a sanctuary for those who seek deeper connection, replenishment, and the opportunity to simply be. Whether you long for soulful rituals, restorative solitude, or enlivening presence, this space is yours to define and embrace.
“The wilderness within whispers:
Slow it down. Slow it all down to the speed of intimacy. Everything you need is here.”

Three otters eco retreat in Great Cacapon, WV
This nurturing land is along the Potomac River waaaaay down a dirt road in West Virginia.
Yurts, tent cottages, vintage trailers, & pop-up campers pepper the 14 acre grounds all connected by woodsy trails, & there are 5 individual bathrooms with a hot shower, sink, & flush toilet in each. There are 2 fire pits, an organic garden, places for us to share meals, a riverbank screened in porch, hammocks to nap (& swing) in & we are bringing a wood-fired sauna from Sauna Plunge RVA!
Rich & Teresa are the dreamers & generators behind this earth-friendly retreat & they are magnificent stewards of the land.
This place feels like home to me & I believe it will for you too.

MEET Your Wild-Hearted Facilitators
Alyson MacLatchy
Hi!! I’m Aly and I LOVE facilitating spaces for women of every age & stage to gather. I’m a yoga teacher, plant lover, herbal potion maker, rhythm tender, & mother. I thrive in the outdoors, I come alive in wholehearted (& challenging) conversations, & I adore teaching people to celebrate their body-homes through movement, self-care, & living earth connection.
Remembering our human place in the family of the living earth is the heart of what I offer & teach. Learning to live in rhythm with nature, as nature, is an open-ended practice of healing & wholeness.
Let’s rewild & remember together!

Hi, I’m Ashley and I’m excited to share my healing experience & collaborate in your care on this retreat!
As a Licensed Massage Therapist I have been learning & practicing a variety of modalities for the past 18 years. I enjoy opening new conversations between a person and their physical body. Through massage, movement, & body mechanics I help people find a state of ease - new levels of relaxation, comfort, & fluidity in their bodies. Whether it’s resting in stillness or coming alive in playful movement, helping people find their way building trust & love within their body homes in one of my deepest joys.

Cara McComas
I am an artist and holistic health coach. I am enthralled by color & expression, & I believe we often underestimate how wearing clothing that we feel comfortable & happy in can affect our experiences moving through life.
I am ecstatic to share the art of ice dying and the information I’ve learned through my journey to help you dye something that will make you feel accomplished and bring you joy for years to come! I will also be facilitating healing, relaxing, & activating one-on-one crystal layouts on and around the body. I’ve been working with crystal allies for about 10 years and have had some really unique and expansive experiences. I’ll share tips on how to get the most from your work with crystals and have a crystal corner set up for you to come and play with during the retreat!
