Do you long to escape the noise and busyness, so you can get out into the woods and PLAY? To throw away your phone, lie in the grass, and breathe with the trees? Do you want to frolic through fields, then curl up like a cat in a pool of sunlight and just be? Join us for DELIGHT IN THE WILD, our weekend nature retreat in the wild Welsh hills!
We’ll invite you to lock your phones away, and to listen instead to the hum of the soil, the heartbeat of the hills, and the wisdom of the sky. For a weekend, we’ll remember how to live simply and together; to rest, play, and dance; to conjure joy and offer praise to the land.
Come for the peace, stay for the silliness, leave with a heart full of gratitude and mud on your boots.
aimless wanders through the woods
conversations with trees
fireside star gazing
outdoor dance parties
collaborative art-making
simple rituals of appreciation and gratitude
time and space to rest, with others and alone
creative games to delight your inner child
no deep transformational work whatsoever (because sometimes, a break where you just have FUN is more healing than all of that stuff!)
a small, intimate group experience: we have capped the numbers to a maximum of 12 people
This will be a nature immersion experience, in 60 acres of wildflower meadows, woodland, and trickling streams, nestled among the hills on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Accommodation will be a mix of camping, off-grid cabins and a converted barn. We will be free to wander around the site like the Exmoor ponies who graze there. Our home for the weekend is a former dairy farm that has been rewilded and managed for conservation for the last 25 years. It is in a Dark Skies area so you can expect spectacular stars, and it’s a nature-lover’s paradise: look at these photos!
