Retreats

We are nature. We are composed of mostly water, much like our earth. Our brainwaves pulse with the same rhythm as earth's magnetic field. Every tree bark's groove, every leaf's veins, every grain of soil & every mountain slope tells a tale of time, the same as our skin, muscles & bones...

 

Our Spring Retreat will take you on a journey through movement, sound & creative expression, allowing you to be restored, naturally.

​

We invite you to our space to be free from judgement & be your truest self. Other peoples' perceptions of you don't matter here. 

​

I am the "annoying" child, the "crazy" woman, the "insecure", the "weird", the "too loud" and the "too opinionated"... These words are just arbitrary concepts created by other humans, and they carry no meaning in the healing space. For years I would allow myself to be affected by these ideas created by others, and often I would find myself agreeing with them, because I was becoming an idea created by someone else. But then something changed in me - I am not what others choose for me. I am my "self".

​

Who you are at your core is not words; when you become your "self" again, you are a whole being, an entity of light, a part of the lifecycle in nature. How you flow through the motions of time is your choice to make - do you allow yourself to become consumed by words & perceptions of others, or can you accept your "self" & become at one with the world? 

​

There are 4 states of universal perception in all living beings - egocentric (perceiving one's environment & basing one's beliefs on the needs of the self only), anthropocentric (basing beliefs on the needs of people or "tribes" amongst you), geocentric (beliefs on the needs of the world & other organisms) & cosmocentric (the needs of the universe & spirit within). Our aim is to reach the optimal level of cosmocentrism, where we not only put our needs first, but every thought we create & every action we take is centred within an ever evolving, vast landscape of space & time. We are part of something far greater than human concept. 

​

This is what our retreat is for. There are no specific goals for you to achieve; this is an investment in regaining your time. Many people feel that they have wasted years being stuck or trapped in unhealthy relationships, unhealthy lifestyles, the wrong careers or home environment, substance abuse & harmful behaviour, and many other negative causes which create poor mental health. But time is just another concept - you are here now, you are reading this with an idea to claim back your life, so make that start today! 

​

Once you are whole again, any goals that you want to achieve will be possible. Once you are your self again, you can implement any changes that you need to regain your time.  Once you accept who you are, all this "lost" time will feel like nothing other than a speck of dust in this vast universe of life! This is the now, this is your time. Be at one with your self, your people, your planet & your cosmos - reserve your space with us today.

​

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
 

A beautiful team of healers await you with workshops to release your soul. These activities are designed to help you relax and become comfortable, as well as open your mind to new possibilities - we are not here to tell you what you should do, we are here to guide you towards allowing your self to create your own ideas and letting your self heal itself. 

​

- Restorative meditation & Forest Bathing with Mikaela Korth
- Embodied Yoga & Journalling with The Samadhi Nest
- Relaxing Gong Bath with Daisy's Zen Den 
- Bushcraft & Foraging with Steve H 
- Nourishing breakfast, lunch & afternoon tea freshly prepared for you 
- Time in nature to relax, reflect & replenish, accompanied by our 8 beautiful cats (Obsidian, Luna, Collie, Bandit, Trinity, Pyra, Billy & Mongoose) 
- Opening & Close Ceremonies amongst trees 

​

The activities are designed for your benefit, but there is no obligation to participate in anything; you're more than welcome to spend your day wandering through our trees, dipping in our stream, exploring all the nature that surrounds you... Whatever it is that you need to escape everyday life & rebalance your spirit - you are welcome to do so. 

​

There is also a chance to book additional treatments (massage, beauty, holistic therapies etc.) as well as camp in our private forest - we welcome people from all over the world to join us as we welcome in the Spring. 

​

​

YOUR SPACE 
 

Our retreat is set in our private woodland - we have no immediate neighbours, and the surrounding area is predominantly farmland, so you are free to fully relax and be your best self! 

​

Most activities will be held outside, weather permitting. The forest provides a pure environment for healing, and you won't get a better grounding experience than with being connected to the ground itself! Please ensure you wear appropriate outdoor clothing that is both warm & waterproof, and comfortable for you to move around in. We will provide a protective surface for mats but you are also free to bask within the soil for our meditations & sound healing. We also have a sheltered yoga space in our converted garage if the ground is too wet.

​

Journalling & art activities take place within our healing cabin - it is an intimate space for fostering creativity & inspiration. You will also be next to our polytunnel & herb garden which you are welcomed to explore & take home something to grow. Ideas blossom much like flowers, and the end of March is the perfect time to start afresh with your own seeds of knowledge...

​

Ceremonies & meals will take place at our stone circle in the centre of our forest. The circular formation creates a temple space, which allows for the flow of collective consciousness, the sharing of ideas & the connections between like-minded souls. A retreat is not just about escaping normality or seeking solitude away from a crowd - we are all here as one, and unity is our saving grace. When one spirit is lifted, it can change one person; when all of our spirits are lifted, we can change the world…
