Immersion Weekend
Wild Alignment
Three days of movement, craft, and song
Herbal skincare · Plant printing on fabric · Primal movement · Bush foods · Awareness practices
With Ilana Hoffman & Lillian Donnell
Wild Alignment is a weekend immersion for those longing to slow down, awaken their senses, and find their way back to the living world. Over three days in the bush, we weave together movement, ancestral skills, and sensory awareness practices – creating space to feel alive, grounded, and held: by yourself, by each other, and by the land itself.
Each day holds its own rhythm: Stillness, shared meals, craft, movement, and fire. You're welcome to dip in and out of offerings as you feel called.
What to bring
Camping gear and warm clothes, a cushion or chair to sit on, and a picnic rug each. A head torch, blindfold, water bottle, keep cup, and eating utensils. Natural insect repellent, a hat, bathers, and a towel. Food for breakfast and snacks (lunch and dinner are catered). A journal, something to write with, and a bag to carry it all. Tapestry needles for weaving. Musical instruments, songs, stories, and poems to share around the fire in the evenings. Any crafts already on the go. And extra firewood – always deeply appreciated.
~~~~~ This weekend is for those who are ready to feel the earth under their feet, the fire at their back, and the wild aliveness that lives within them. ~~~~~
Your Facilitators
Lillian Donnell
Lillian is a multi-modal movement coach, dancer, aerialist, musician, and a devoted student of the many ways a human body can feel truly alive.
Her work draws on over 16 years of teaching across many disciplines, including aerial silks, bodyweight strength, mobility, Animal Flow, and Contact Improvisation Dance. Her passion is in helping people to reclaim the sense of profound joy that occurs when we inhabit our body, and develop the skills to move with more freedom, strength, and awareness.
She runs workshops, retreats, and events that weave together movement, music, nature, and connection, and facilitates spaces – from live music and contact dance jams, to fire circles – where people can use their sense of embodied freedom to come into deeper self-expression and connection with others.

Ilana has spent her life in close conversation with the living world – its creatures, its medicines, its older ways of knowing.
Trained as a veterinarian, she has worked with animals across Australia and beyond, from wildlife medicine, rescue and conservation to community care in the field. Her work with animals is one thread in a wider web of life that has always called her: the plants underfoot, the birds overhead, the intelligence that moves through a forest when we finally go quiet enough to hear it.
Ilana guides people into an embodied relationship with the land through ancestral skills, nature connection practices, foraging, and somatic inquiry. She is also a yoga and meditation teacher, dancer, freediver, and artist.
What she creates is part science, part craft, part ceremony, and full of play.
