Reality = glued my fingers together with welding glue 🤦‍♀️ Anyone else need supervision with crafts, or just me? 😂”

I will be a therapist at the amazingly beautiful event, so looking forward too it

I was told this festival would never be successful.⁣⁣
That women don’t 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 their own space.⁣⁣
That people 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘻𝘦 to connect.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And yet, here we are...
⁣⁣
Safe.⁣⁣ Seen.⁣⁣ Held.⁣⁣ Healing.⁣⁣ Joyful.⁣⁣ Connected.
⁣⁣
These are the words I hear from the incredible women who gather at Wild Village each year. Every time I hear them, my heart feels like it will burst - because this is exactly why I pour so much of myself into creating it.⁣ WE are making a difference, WE are paving a new path.
⁣⁣
And now, something beautiful is happening - TOGETHER, we’ve 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴! I am absolutely humbled knowing this vision is reaching further into our community 💜⁣

For those who don’t know, 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘝𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 falls under the banner of 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯, a not-for-profit I founded to support women’s mental health and wellbeing. To this day, it has been fully self funded by myself & my family. I’ve never taken a wage (sometimes I’ve even paid to host our community🙃). It takes over a year, and hundreds of hours from my 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮, to bring it to life - and still, I keep saying yes, because I know how needed this space is for US.⁣
⁣⁣
This year we have a stunning new home. A place that can hold more of us while keeping the intimacy and magic alive. We’ve built a strong foundation - everything needed to hold our expansion 🍃
⁣⁣
Now I’d love your help to share it 🙏🏽
⁣⁣
The algorithm won’t do it for us, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯.⁣⁣⁣⁣

🌿 If you’ve been before, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦.⁣
🌿 If you’re already coming, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘮𝘶𝘮, 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴.⁣⁣⁣⁣
🌿 If you’re sitting on the fence, this is the moment to 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘴.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Wild Village is rare. It’s a quiet rebellion in a time that pushes disconnection. It’s women showing the world that we do need our own space - one free of alcohol, free of dilution, full of unapologetic joy & connection.

Together, let’s spread the word and keep this festival thriving for years to come.
⁣
With so much love, N xx

Now is the time to consider the things that no longer serve you, and to let them go, just like the leaves dropping from the trees.

Whether it’s resentment, sorrow or a need to please, we all cling to things that ultimately hold us back, and it’s now time to reflect and figure out how to let these things go and move forward.

Crazy morning hair photo with the spot I love most on the property.
Taking time out to journal, reflect and connect with nature. I discovered a forgotten passion for landscape photography on my time away. So grateful i dusted the cobwebs of my camera 😆, and brought it with me. What would you like to rediscover?

I'm sad to think this zebra once roamed free😥. It's now a table in a Cafe. The rope is the dried out guts twisted around to tie down its hide

🌿 Sciatica vs. Piriformis Syndrome: Understanding the Difference 🌿

Many people experience pain in the lower back, buttocks, or down the leg and often assume it’s all the same. However, Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome are different conditions, each with unique causes and treatments.

1. Sciatica
🔹 What is it? Sciatica refers to pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.
🔹 Symptoms: Sharp or shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down one or both legs, often accompanied by numbness or tingling.
🔹 Cause: Issues in the spine, such as disc herniation or bone spurs pressing on the nerve roots.
🔹 Treatment: Depending on severity, treatments can include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or in some cases, surgical intervention.

2. Piriformis Syndrome
🔹 What is it? This condition occurs when the piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve.
🔹 Symptoms: Pain that starts in the buttocks and may radiate down the leg, often mimicking sciatica. The pain may worsen after sitting for a long time or climbing stairs.
🔹 Cause: Overuse, injury, or muscle spasms in the piriformis muscle.
🔹 Treatment: Typically includes stretching, targeted massage, physical therapy, and avoiding activities that trigger the pain.

Why Knowing the Difference Matters
Understanding whether you’re dealing with Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome is essential for effective treatment. Misdiagnosis can lead to ineffective care and prolonged pain.

💡 Tip: If you’re experiencing pain in your lower back or legs, consult with a healthcare professional or a qualified massage therapist to pinpoint the source and receive the right treatment plan.
