Evenings, Embodiment & Exploration

Evenings at Wildwood are intentionally unstructured. After full days of learning and hands-on practice, time is left open for rest, integration, embodiment, and exploration. Attendees are invited to use the space, amenities, and surrounding area in ways that best support their nervous system and personal rhythm.

No formal evening classes are scheduled. This time is designed to support restoration, autonomy, and integration.
