Wild Alchemy: A Ritual for Reclaiming Self
A 1-Day Immersive Retreat in the Forest
New dates for 2026! Join us June 27-28 to spark the magick within. ✨
Each retreat day includes the full immersion experience, from healing practices and guided movement to photography and integration rituals. The seven-hour format allows for a gradual unfolding of the retreat arc, with spacious time for each modality and transition.
Facilitated by Amy Hoyt of Lemon Wing & Savannah Wishart of Beast Goddess Boudoir
This is for the women who are ready to stop hiding.
Who are tired of shrinking themselves to fit someone else’s story.
Who feel the stirrings of something deeper —
a voice that says: You’re allowed to take up space.
You’re allowed to be fully seen.
Welcome to Wild Alchemy — a one-day retreat designed to support deep healing, embodiment, and radical self-reclamation. Held in a private cedar forest in the Pacific Northwest, this immersive experience blends movement, ritual, and photography into one transformative journey back to yourself.
The Experience
Throughout the day, we’ll move through powerful healing practices to reconnect with your body, release stored emotion, and express your truth—exactly as you are.
You’ll be guided through:
✦ Breathwork & Meditation
✦ Forest Bathing & Ritual
✦ Sound Healing & Ecstatic Movement
✦ A Guided Nude or Clothed Embodiment Photo Session
✦ A Closing Circle to Integrate, Reflect, and Witness
Whether you’re healing from trauma, letting go of self-doubt, or simply craving a space where you can show up raw and real, Wild Alchemy offers a sacred container for that unfolding.
Why Photography?
Photography has always been my way of seeing people deeply. Of holding space for their essence — not just what they look like, but who they are. At Wild Alchemy, the photo session isn’t about posing. It’s about presence. It’s about capturing you in your fullest, freest expression.
Clothed or nude, laughing or crying, dancing or still —
this is an invitation to be seen in the most honest way.
Not as a performance, but as a truth.
You’ll receive a series of professional images from your session to remember what it felt like to come home to your body — beautiful, brave, and free.

Meet Your Facilitators
Amy Hoyt (She/Her)
Owner + Creative Director of Lemon Wing | Former Full-Time Firefighter | Mental Health Advocate
Hi — I’m Amy: photographer, former full-time firefighter, and a full-hearted human who treasures stories. For over 20 years, I’ve used my lens to celebrate raw, radiant moments — the ones that show the truth of who we are. In my work, and in this retreat, I bring tenderness, wild joy, and maybe even a contagious laugh or two.
As a passionate mental health advocate (especially for first responders), I’m committed to creating brave, grounded spaces where healing and expression unfold side by side.
At Wild Alchemy, I’ll guide the photo experience, helping you step into the version of yourself that feels alive and true. No posing or modeling pressure — just bring your body and your story. We’ll make magic from there. Together, we’ll also journey through breathwork, embodiment practices, and healing modalities you can carry into daily life — for real, full-hearted transformation.
