TOGETHER summer retreat - a weekend escape in nature. Find yourself, and find your people.
Advertisement
Find your people. Slow down. Discover. Play. Breathe. Change.
A weekend retreat full of nature connection, slow living, creativity, and tools for your wellbeing. Reset your nervous system and leave with a refreshed mind, and a new community of nature-loving, curious, authentic folk.
*What to expect*
A gentle, immersive weekend: camp on a smallholding with pigs and alpacas nearby; wake to the sound of skylarks and enjoy being off-grid while we create, discover and nourish ourselves.
Sessions include things like willow weaving, nature printing, mindful drawing and painting, yoga, sound bath, discussions around wellbeing, talks, storytelling, breathwork, forest bathing and meditation.
It's a simple but full schedule of activities, with time to rest and connect with each other; or choose to spend quiet time alone and soak in the surroundings.
Spaces are limited to 25 for an intimate, comfortable experience, with small-group or paired breakout conversations and reflections through some of the sessions; and the freedom at any time to just enjoy your own space and quiet time.
This is perfect for you if you’re just beginning to explore nature more, haven’t tried mindfulness practice or nature crafting - and equally enjoyable if you have, and would love an escape to be able to slow down, play and reconnect with yourself!
*What's included*
- 2 nights' off-grid camping in fields - bring your own tent or upgrade for a pre-pitched tent (a variety of bell tents, 2-man and 4-man; choose to share or have your own)
- Seasonal, nourishing food enjoyed together outdoors - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and hot drinks. Meals are tailored to the group - put your dietary requirements in at checkout
- A fully outdoors weekend - there are small areas of shelter and plenty of umbrellas in case of terrible weather - dress accordingly!
- Materials for crafting and creating - leave space to take your creations home!
- Goodies to take away, as well as the tools and knowledge to take forward into your everyday life
- A memorable weekend with like-minded people, exploring nature, trying out new ideas and practices, connecting and becoming part of a community
*The nitty gritty details*
Location:
Paudy Pigs' smallholding, just outside Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire. Fields, trees, livestock and views across the Leicestershire countryside.
Arrival:
from 3pm Friday afternoon, with time to pitch your tent, unpack, relax and explore before dinner at 7pm.

The paddocks are completely off-grid; we will be warmed by fire, hot water bottle and heaters, and there is no power. If you have power requirements, send us a message - we invite you to turn off/DND your phone for most of the weekend to encourage you to be present, screen-free and relaxed!
