Wild Dare: Reclaiming Courage & Creative Power From the Dark

There comes a moment in many women's lives when understanding alone is no longer enough. You've done the inner work, gained the insights, yet something remains stuck—a creative block, a fear that won't budge, a sense that your life hasn't yet become what you know it could be. Wild Dare meets you at this threshold.

Led by depth psychologist Roxanne Partridge, this five-day immersion at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY (August 30–September 3, 2026) invites you beyond the intellectual into the embodied, mythic terrain where real transformation happens. Rooted in the ancient descent of Inanna, the workshop guides you through a deliberate arc: clarification of what's calling, a courageous descent into shadow and instinct, recovery of your creative fire and courage, and a rising into coherence and wholeness. This is not analysis for its own sake. This is depth work designed to help feeling become intelligence and to allow the next true shape of your life to reveal itself.

The container—held by both psychological rigor and emotional safety—creates space for women to meet the deeper forces shaping desire and direction. You'll move beyond insight into embodied encounter, working through somatic practices, expressive movement, mask work, guided journeying, and ritual arts. In the presence of a thoughtful collective, you'll discover that the wild, instinctive, courageous parts of you are not obstacles to your wholeness—they are essential to it.

What to Expect

Over five days, you'll follow a clear and transformative arc. The week opens with clarification—naming what's really at stake, what's calling for your attention. From there, you descend: into shadow, instinct, and the parts of yourself you may have learned to fear or hide. Through somatic work, creative expression, and guided inner journeys, you'll reclaim the courage and creative power that live in your depths. The final phase is the rise—integrating what you've discovered, finding coherence, and stepping into a renewed sense of wholeness and direction.

The work unfolds through multiple modalities: conscious movement, expressive arts, mask work that accesses the unconscious, ritual, and guided journeying. Roxanne creates conditions where the collective witness and the safety of the container allow genuine transformation. You'll leave not just with insights, but with renewed access to your creative fire, your instinctive knowing, and your capacity to move boldly into the next chapter of your life.
