Rest and Rewild Day Retreat
Join us for a day of rest, reconnection and rewilding in an idyllic private space near Llandegla in North Wales.
This day retreat is all about taking time to reconnect to nature, yourself and others. It will be an opportunity for you to try a range of activities that will immerse you in the elements, through the seasons. The activities will vary each session to include a range of different crafts and practices.
There will be a guided walk to the woods, stopping to notice and talk about the trees, plants and fungi we find along the way. You will be guided through a mindfulness practice aimed to bring you into the present moment and connect you to the natural environment, with a big focus on having curiosity and awe in nature.
You will then have the opportunity to invigorate yourself with a sauna and cold water immersion session, in a beautiful secluded natural dipping pool. Cold water therapy and use of the sauna have been shown to have a number of health benefits, including: Reducing inflammation, Improving circulation, Boosting the immune system, Reducing stress.
In addition to this, each session will include a nature craft such as whittling, weaving, fire making, making natural body products or wild medicines.
To end the day you will be taken on a unique, restorative and potentially transformative experience with a sound bath, breath work, meditation or physical practice like yoga or chi gong.
Snacks and drinks will be provided but you will need to bring along some lunch. Occasionally there will be a big hearty pot of soup to share.
You will be informed of specific details for each event ahead of the day via email.
