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 that is Queech Woods. 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.
Throughout the retreat there is access to a composting toilet, water and herbal teas. A homemade seasonal Vegan stew and sweet treats are included in the experience. Please advise of any know allergies or dietary requirements upon booking.
What to bring
Due to the nature of the venue it will be advisable to dress appropriately for being outdoors in all weathers, so layer up and wear appropriate footwear. You may also like to bring a journal and pen, yoga mat or similar to sit or lay on the ground and an extra blanket and cushion for your comfort.
It may be dark when we make our way back to the carpark, please bring a torch or head lamp if you have one.

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

The Rewilding - Women in the woods day 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.
