Introduction
Join us for a nourishing day in nature, far from the stresses of everyday life.
As Autumn arrives, relax and unwind in our beautiful and tranquil woodland setting in the company of like-minded women, reconnecting to nature and to yourself.
We will spend the morning exploring the forest together, pausing for mindful moments, identifying plants, foraging, and taking time-out to rest amongst the trees.
After gathering firewood, we will prepare and cook a nourishing vegetarian lunch over the fire, and you will have the opportunity to try your hand at some bushcraft skills (firelighting, wood processing using an axe and knife) or simply sit by the fire and relax.
In the afternoon, there will be time for journalling, sketching and crafting, taking inspiration from nature. There will also be plenty of time to enjoy an uninterrupted rest in a hammock, or a gentle woodland walk.
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.
Minimum age:
