There is a false dichotomy between man and nature. We are nature. Through yoga, meditation, and connecting to nature and animals we bring you full circle, away from the neurological noise, and invite you to heal; body, mind and soul.
While you are in the Lakes, there are a variety of wellness practices you will explore so that you can leave your worries, absorb the landscape and fall in love again, with yourself, your dear ones and the landscape.
The highlights of the retreat are:
4 Yoga classes
Horse meditation
Wild swimming in stunning locations
Cacao ceremony
Bare-footing
Campfire circles
Delicious vegetarian meals
Dancing
Gallery
