Wild and Wiser
About Wild & Wiser
Wild & Wiser is a Dorset-born festival created by women, for women.
A weekend designed for those seeking time to pause, reconnect and rediscover who they are beyond their many roles, with other women who truly get it.
Blending creativity, nature, wellbeing and personal exploration, Wild & Wiser brings together female-led makers, practitioners and guides in a beautiful setting on the edge of the forest in stunning Dorset.
We invite women ready to slow down, explore new possibilities and rediscover their wildness and inner wisdom.

Wild & Wiser is unfolding.
Speaker reveals. Early access. Behind-the-scenes reflections.
Be part of what’s building for September 2026.
Your day at Wild & Wiser, your way
You wake gently. Maybe to birdsong, maybe after a late night dancing under the stars.
There’s no rush.
You grab a coffee or herbal tea, wander towards the woods or attend a morning session or simply sit and breathe for a while.
As the day unfolds, you listen to what you need.
At any moment, experiences are running in parallel across Wise Calm, Wild Energy and Wild & Wise with Purpose.
You might ground yourself, move your body, create something, dive into conversation with inspiring speakers — or rest instead.
Meals are unhurried. You eat when you’re hungry, share food and stories, stretch out on the grass, reconnect.
Afternoons ebb and flow between deeper workshops, playful energy, quiet corners and moments of connection — with space to change your mind as often as you like.
As evening arrives, the energy shifts. Music drifts through the site. Some people dance. Some talk by the fire. Some head early to bed.
There’s no right way to do Wild & Wiser.
Just your way.
The Wild & Wiser Marketplace
Our Marketplace is a curated gathering of thoughtful, purposeful women who craft, cook, grow, heal, lead and create with intention.
Browse, taste, explore, experience and connect at your own pace throughout the weekend.
From slow-made goods to wild creativity, every stall brings its own magic.
Our special location
Nestled in the Dorset countryside, Wooders is more than just a beautiful setting, it’s a place chosen with intention.
Surrounded by woodland, open skies and quiet pathways, Wooders offers the space to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself, others and nature. It’s grounding, expansive and gently wild — everything we want the weekend to feel like.
Just as importantly, Wooders is proudly female-led.
The farm and campsite are run by Heidi and her family, alongside Fiona of Perfect Party Tents, who partners to create warm, welcoming communal spaces. Both are remarkable women who live the values of care, creativity and courage that sit at the heart of Wild & Wiser.
What you can expect
-
Nature all around - Forest trails, open fields, wildflower corners and quiet spaces to pause or journal.
-
Space to gather – communal marquees, cosy fire circles and places to share stories or simply sit together.
-
Rustic comfort – clean facilities, glamping options and easy access, without losing the magic of being outdoors, but leave your heels at home!
