Dive Into Your Essence

Experience the cleansing water of the Thames and learn about Yogic science of water therapy "Ishnan" and start the day on the high, as we wild swim when we wake. There will be refreshing and awakening breathwork pranayama warm up and a hot drink to enjoy after. 

Revived from the waters we will stream into a morning yoga practice. We start with an invigorating Yoga accompanied by live musicians to harmonise your rhythm and end in grounding meditation.

Breakfast is so much tastier after wild swim! Enjoy the delightful assortments of the breakfast buffet.   

After breakfast we dive deeper into our own nature, connecting with the magical spirits of the ancient oaks that surround the space.

After a delicious lunch we we move into an afternoon workshop exploring the themes of release and restoration through the healing power of nature.

In the evening, around the fire we gather for storytelling, music, and poetry. Perhaps you have something to share?

Karen is co-founder of the Sadhama Rewild Retreats and the creator behind Plant Based Pirate, with over ten years experience in the catering industry.

The journey took her to a position as the opening Head Chef of the flagship Marylebone branch of The Gate, one of London’s oldest and most distinguished vegetarian restaurants. During her time at The Gate she was able to show how diverse and delicious plant based food can be, instigating changes to the menu which moved from having only 50% plant based dishes to being 100% free from dairy and eggs by the end of the year, and converting the owner and executive chef in the process!

Karen will provide us with delicious and nutritious, lovingly and creatively prepared meals based on Ayurvedic principals throughout our retreat.
