Woodland Wellbeing Retreat for Women
Join us for a nourishing day in nature, far from the stresses of everyday life.
Course
Introduction
Join us for a nourishing day in nature, far from the stresses of everyday life. Relax and unwind in our beautiful and tranquil woodland in the company of like-minded women, reconnecting to nature and to yourself.
Join us on the 22nd September – the Autumn Equinox, as the wheel of the year moves away from Summer. A time to celebrate the abundance of harvest time and look for the first signs of Autumn.
We’ll start the day with a gentle sensory exploration of the forest, pausing for guided mindful moments and taking time-out to rest amongst the trees. We will then gather by the fire to cook a hearty vegetarian lunch, nourishing our bodies as we sit together to connect and relax.
Enjoy plenty of down time throughout the afternoon. You might like to rest in a hammock or sit by the fire with a book. You might like to learn a new craft, record your thoughts with some journaling, or deepen your understanding and connection to the natural world around you. Our experienced instructors will be on hand to guide you.
We will finish by coming together in circle to reflect on the day.
The retreat will be facilitated by experienced and qualified wellbeing practitioners and outdoor instructors. All food and materials are included.
Places are limited.
