Details of this retreat
A day to remember
Set amidst a breathtakingly beautiful landscape, this experience invites you to step away from the everyday this autumn, reconnect with your inner self, forge meaningful connections with others, and deepen your bond with the natural world.
This is our autumn retreat. The theme for this season is 'Reflect & Regather', and we will be capturing the rich colours, meaning and energy of autumn throughout our day together.
Join us for a day that nourishes the soul and rekindles our connection to the earth, our self, our work, and each other.
This is an opportunity to:
Time and space for yourself, far from screens and daily busyness
Reflect on what truly matters in your life and work
Deepen your personal connection with Nature
Enrich your mindfulness and nature-connection practices
Experience the power and promise of rewilding, seeing land and wildlife restored firsthand
Make new connections with like-minded people
This is not:
A business workshop (though you’ll have the chance to network in good company)!
A spa day (although there may be an opportunity for a refreshing lake swim)!
A day of slides and screens (we’ll be mainly outdoors, fully engaged in the natural surroundings)
