Rewilding Retreats
What is ReWilding
Rewilding is a way to nurture and enhance that sacred connection that we have with ourselves allowing us to return to our own natural rhythms and cycles.
ReWilding retreats are held quarterly at the turn of every season around the spring and autumn equinox and the summer and winter solstice.
These pivotal moments in the natural calendar offer an ideal opportunity to ReWild and reconnect with the rhythms of nature. As the Earth transitions from one season to the next, we too can embrace change, letting go of what no longer serves us and welcoming in new energy and growth.
What to expect
Our journey starts as soon as we leave the carpark and walk a short distance into the magical private woodland. Leaving behind our fast paced lives we begin to slow down and immerse ourselves into what mother natures playground has to offers us, remembering the ancient ways of our ancestors.
Each season, the woodland looks and feels different, bringing with it an opportunity to reflect on our own inner seasons and the changes we go through. You will be supported and held by facilitator Lisa Reynolds who will create a safe space in which to explore and reconnect to yourself though a use of practices and rituals, allowing you to release and rediscover parts of self that are out of alignment.
Weaving together a mixture of Forest Bathing, Mindfulness and Shamanic practices you will be guided to tap into that primal energy that resides deep within you, awakening and stirring an inner remembrance of who you truly are beneath the social conditioning and stories.
This is a unique experience that will allow you to immerse yourself in nature, bringing a sense of connection, peace and harmony along with opportunities for healing and personal growth.
Nature does not discriminate against our differences, and all are welcome to join the ReWilding retreats. We ask that you come with an open heart and mind, ready to explore your own edges.

CROSSING INTO AUTUMN 19th-20th September 2025
**DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED **
An Immersive Overnight Retreat to Mark the End of Summer, 'Crossing into Autumn' is a unique overnight experience designed to reconnect you with the natural world and your own unique inner rhythms.
Held in secluded Suffolk woodland, this gathering is a chance to step away from the noise and into a slower, more intuitive pace — one that mirrors the shifting season.
Together, we will share fire, food, ceremony, movement and rest — returning to the earth, to each other and to ourselves. Through guided practices and wild connection, you’ll be supported to reflect on the gifts and blessings of summer and to gently release anything that feels heavy or ready to be let go, as you prepare to cross the threshold into autumn.
This retreat is both gentle and powerful- rooted in seasonal wisdom and shaped by the people who gather. Whether you're seeking quiet reflection, practical skills, healing or community, there is space for you here.
Come as you are. Leave reconnected, grounded and ready to walk into the next season with clarity and intention.

It was an amazing experience which I have never done anything like this before. Lisa puts you at ease and understood how I was feeling. It was great to be among other women who are also struggling with life and need to make time for themselves. My whole body felt like it shifted when I did the breathing exercises and felt I had let go of things that I needed to that were holding me back. It has
I had an experience of lifetime. Being around people with the same purpose and being able to reconnect with the nature guided by Lisa was something that I’m definitely doing again.
I was able to relax, release stagnant energy, get creative in nature & get more clarity on questions I wanted answered. A lovely weekend working with the elements & eating Lisa’s delicious home-cooked food round the fire. Lisa intuitively knew how to work with the energies allowing the best healing & outcomes for all. I felt very safe in Lisa’s energy & loved being free in the woods with a stron
The Rewilding - was so special. Lisa is so gifted at what she does, and her warm inviting presence really made the day what it was. Creating a space to listen to nature allowed me to really get in touch with myself, and be among nature in a safe, guided space. I would recommend to anyone interested in connecting with themselves.
For me the best part was gathering around the fire to make the promises to ourselves. Lisa created a great space for self reflection
