The Wild Feminine Incarnée — A devotional return to embodied power
Held in the quiet, mystical landscape of Rennes-le-Château in Southern France, this retreat is an invitation to return to your body, your instinct, and a deep expression of feminine power. Led by Cassandra Ogier and Shayna Hiller — both devoted to empowering women through the wisdom of horses and the body’s intelligence.
Rooted in the energetic lineage of Mary Magdalene, this is not a space of learning about her — but of directly experiencing what she represents within yourself.
A devotion to truth. A capacity for deep love.
A confidence that is fully embodied. A quietly powerful sovereignty.
This is a direct, internally led return to your authentic truth and power — beneath conditioning, achievement and who you’ve learned to be.
The week unfolds at La Val Dieu — a simple, traditional farmhouse set within the raw beauty of Southern France.
There is a quietness here.
An ancestral pulse in the land. Natural beauty.
Nothing curated. Nothing excessive.
The rhythm of the days is supported by the land itself with organic, farm-to-table meals grown and prepared on the property and open space to walk, rest, and integrate.
A herd of seventeen horses free-roam across 130 acres.
This herd, comprised primarily of mares, share a deep relational history — shaped through bearing and raising foals alongside one another. As they move into a new phase of freedom, you are invited into a living field of connection — where your own relationship to freedom is simply allowed to unfold.
Horses do not respond to words, but to what is true in your system. They meet your presence, your coherence and your alignment with your truth. And in that reflection, something clarifies.
Through the presence of the lead mares — who guide the herd through relational attunement rather than force — you are invited into a different understanding of power.
Relational. Grounded. Sovereign. Magnetic. Something that emerges when you are fully in your body.
Throughout the week, you’ll be guided through practices that support the release of held tension and stored emotion — through the body, the breath, and the voice.
As your nervous system unwinds, what emerges is a natural sense of vitality, aliveness, and pleasure.
This work can reveal deeper layers — old patterns, inherited imprints, and identities that may have once been necessary, but are no longer true.
Shayna and Cassandra, hold a sacred and safe container — as their ancestors did — with presence, integrity, openness and non-judgment. A space that both have cultivated and curated for women and each other on the continuing journey of self-realization.
What is discovered is not something new — but actually something quite ancient.
Whether you are in a season of transition, initiation, creation, or leadership — maiden, mother, or matriarch — you are met where you are.
There will be time to enjoy —
Walking in nature
Immersing with the herd
Swimming in the cool waters of La Ferriere and La Fontaine des Amours
Soaking in the thermal springs of Rennes-les-Bains
Making pilgrimage to the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene.
Moments that are simple yet profound.
This timeless, spacious experience is about meeting yourself fully in your body and trusting that to lead.
Your guides:
SHAYNA HILLER —
I am a trauma-informed embodiment guide, health coach, and yoga and meditation teacher, devoted to guiding others back to the innate wisdom that lives within the body.
My work is rooted in nervous system healing, somatic intimacy, spiritual practice, and ancient ritual — offered in a way that is both modern and deeply human. I am passionate about creating spaces that feel safe, sacred, and real… where truth can surface organically, and transformation unfolds without force.
Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of studying with master teachers and pioneers across the fields of wellness, personal growth, and spirituality. I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Board Certified Health Coach in 2008, and my path has since taken me around the world — guiding retreats, holding private mentorship containers, and facilitating immersive experiences.
At the heart of my work is a devotion to presence — supporting others in reclaiming their power, sensuality, voice, and capacity to be with what is. I am deeply inspired by the intelligence of the body and the wisdom that emerges when we slow down enough to listen.
Within spaces like The Wild Feminine Incarnée, I am here to support a return… to the body, to truth, to the living pulse of what it means to be fully expressed, fully felt, and fully alive.
CASSANDRA OGIER —
I am devoted to the path of embodied truth. My life has been shaped by curiosity and deep listening — to the elements, the body and the land, and to the vast intelligence that lives between.
I am a mother of three sons, a grandmother to a granddaughter — a threshold that has opened a new dimension of love, generational perspective, and reverence for the cycles of life.
As a woman in relationship, I walk a path of deep intimacy, radical truth, and inner freedom — an ongoing exploration of being true to myself while in connection with another.
Horses have been among my greatest teachers — guiding me beyond words, into presence, intuition, and a level of clarity that cannot be bypassed.
For over a decade, I lived and worked in wilderness settings with horses, immersed in a life of practice, simplicity, and inward devotion. My work is not something I’ve learned to teach, but something I am compelled to live and share.
I mainly walk alongside women in this process — supporting a return to their body, to truth, and to a lived sense of sovereignty and wholeness — particularly those navigating the impact of past experiences — supporting a return to safety, sovereignty, and true expression.
Saying yes to continued inward discovery — to meeting what is true beneath identity, conditioning, and projection — is a path of initiation. It requires honesty, presence and a desire to be all in. Thats how I love to live.
