wild soul / anima selvaggia retreat
21 - 25 May, 2026 - Ticino, Switzerland
Wild Soul is back!
A sanctuary for your soul, a feast for your senses
We tested Wild Soul, or Anima Selvaggia as they say in Italian in 2025 and it was such an incredible success that we cannot wait to bring you back for more. Hosted at the lovingly restored Villa Oleandro, owned by dear friends Sandra and André and located in the hidden gem of Valle di Muggio, one of Ticino’s most picturesque valleys, Wild Soul 2.0 is homegrown and heart-led and everything you need to reconnect, re-become and reclaim your magic.
Wake up to breathtaking views across the Valle di Muggio, sip your morning coffee on the grand terrace, and let the sun warm your skin as the sounds of nature ease you into the day. From soulful yoga to profoundly restorative practices held deep in Mother Nature, every moment is crafted to help you slow down, tune in, and fill your own cup first.
A Retreat to Replenish You
Let go of man-made expectations and reconnect with your own rhythm and that of Mother Nature with my Wild Soul retreat. At Villa Oleandro there’s a unique kind of magic that you experience here, a place where prana seems to flow freely and it feels like you’re filling yourself up with health, wellbeing and vitality without even trying. From the vast array of freshly made and traditional local products that go into delicious home made meals, to the interweaving of Eastern and Western science, yoga, breath work, meditation and sound healing, to the magnificent vistas, hiking trails and ancient paths connecting both sides of the valley. Anima selvaggia truly is a sanctuary for your soul and a feast for your senses.
The Wild Soul Retreat includes:
Daily morning and evening yoga, meditation and breath work to reconnect with your body and breath and quiet the mind*
A deeply healing experience with the Tibetan gong to to deliver deep rest and relaxation
Soul-nourishing meals inspired by seasonal, local ingredients - brunch, dinner and snacks provided daily*
Creative experiences to help you develop your own rituals and recipes for soul-care (think cooking classes, journaling and more)
Nature immersion—a guided hike complete with forest bathing, and quiet time by the water to reset your nervous system
Sacred sisterhood—a safe and inclusive space to share, reflect, and grow
A generous gift box of treats full of anima selvaggia
Our passion is to share the beauty of this wild and wonderful place and to provide a space for women to rewild themselves through movement, meditation, Mother Nature, food and deep soul connection.
