A space to connect with nature and the natural self
A two day immersion amidst the living wisdom of the ancient oak trees and wild water of Hardwick Estate.
An invitation to connect with nature and to remember your natural self that is whole, healed and well.
We will be living together as a community on the land at Hardwick Estate. We offer you daily wild swimming and yoga, forest bathing and meditations, sound healing, art therapy and a chance to connect as a community through mugwort and cacao plant medicine ceremony. Vegan, organic locally sourced meals prepared with love and devotion. Therapeutic body work (extra charge). The experience of rest, reconnection and remembrance.
We will be eating fresh, organic, locally harvested vegan meals lovingly prepared by Karen of Plant Based Pirate. Our gorgeous fruit and veg will come from Tollhurst Organic farm who use stock free farming to produce the lowest possible carbon footprint, cruelty free food. There work is truely inspiring and aligned with our ethos of re-connecting with nature and re-aligning with mother nature to live in more harmony.
Price is by sliding scale. Please pay what you can afford. All the donations and profit will go towards supporting our teachers and building a yurt on the land at Hardwick to host yoga classes, community events and future retreats. We hope to build this platform for reconnection and rest.
