Jungle Retreat for Women: Ancestral Skills, Nature Healing & Sisterhood


A grassroots journey in collaboration with the indigenous communities of Malaysia

This is a women’s eco-healing retreat grounded in Indigenous wisdom, nature connection, and ancestral skills. Set in a Temuan village in Selangor, this intimate journey invites you to step into the forest, slow down, and remember your place in the web of life.

Guided by Orang Asli women and elders, we will explore traditional ways of cooking, weaving, tracking, and being — through hands-on practice and heartful sharing.

You’ll walk away with more than knowledge.

You’ll leave with grounding, clarity, and deep reconnection.

• Women seeking emotional healing through nature and embodied learning

• Those drawn to ancestral wisdom, ecofeminism, and Indigenous knowledge

• Anyone ready to slow down, unlearn, and listen

• No outdoor or trekking experience needed — just openness and respect

We believe in fair collaboration, not extraction.

For this retreat, the majority of the participant fee — up to 74% — goes directly to the Orang Asli community, who lead and host the experience.

Your contribution supports:

• The local women and elders facilitating the retreat

• Food and materials sourced within the village

• Cultural knowledge passed on with care and consent

By joining, you’re not just receiving — you’re part of sustaining grassroots wisdom and community livelihoods.

Let this be the beginning of your return — to land, to voice, to wholeness.

This retreat is held in collaboration with Jungle School Gombak, an Indigenous-led initiative rooted in the Temuan community. We work directly with their team to co-create an experience that honours cultural knowledge and compensates local facilitators fairly.

Please note: While Jungle School Gombak also runs public programs, this retreat is curated specifically for Women’s Circle of Malaysia, with additional layers of integration, holding, and facilitation tailored for women seeking emotional healing, nature reconnection, and collective growth.
