What you can expect:

You will arrive on the Friday Afternoon from 2pm and settle in to your accommodation before a warming dinner and welcome. A campfire, herbal teas and evening restorative yoga will be the perfect, gentle introduction to the weekend.

On Saturday, after optional early morning bird walk, yoga and breakfast, spend time in the woods in peak bluebell season with Tansy Dowman, your forest bathing coach. Begin with. a short Qi Gong practice and learn how to find a deeper connection with the trees. Head back to the site for a quiet lunch.

In the afternoon, take time to yourself to breathe in the quiet and beauty of the bluebells, or settle into some creative activities carefully prepared for solo or group practice.

In the evening we will join together for a carefully prepared feast focussing on nutrition and flavour before tucking in or settling down to special moments around the campfire and maybe some singing or cacao, and evening yoga.

On Sunday wake up to the birdsong for early yoga or arrive late for breakfast. Take a foraging walk delightfully guided by Claire Bates and head back to craft a herbal tonic in the herb garden. After lunch the open ended afternoon is yours to reflect and enjoy your new connections.
