The Autumn Nest: A Day of Yoga, Sauna & Wild Swimming with Chilly Dippers

The Autumn Nest is a friendly and welcoming day retreat designed to help you ground down, connect to your body and offer yourself a chance to prioritise yourself through the autumn months.

For this special autumn edition, The Nest Hackney is teaming up with the incredible cold water swimming community, Chilly Dippers, to bring you a fully supported, nature immersive experience.

Hosted in the most beautiful re-wilding sanctuary in the heart of the Sussex countryside, this intimate gathering will whisk you out of London for a day of community and deep connection.

From dynamic morning movement to the deep heat of a wood-fired sauna and the crisp, invigorating medicine of a guided wild swim, every element of this day is designed to nourish you from the inside out.

• Over 3 hours of yoga, breathwork and meditation tuition.
• Exclusive access to the wellbeing area of the Knepp Rewilding Estate.
• Private wood-fired sauna session and expert guided wild swimming.
• A fully catered, seasonal autumn lunch, plus arrival drinks, afternoon snacks and herbal teas.
• A curated wellness goodie bag to take home.

Our venue is a peaceful oasis on the Knepp Rewilding Estate in Sussex, surrounded by rolling hills and autumn woodland.

• By Train: Just under a 1hour direct train from London Bridge / Victoria to Horsham. The venue is a short 10 minute taxi ride from the station.
• By Car: Free parking is available on site.

Note: Once booked, we will connect guests who wish to travel together from East London or split taxis!
