Yoga, yurts & paddle boarding:
THE Wild Times in Somerset16-18th June 2023
Do
Settle in before starting the retreat with tea, cake and our opening circle. Day one is all about grounding and resting, so we will do yin yoga before dinner, Nidra and a good, long rest. Saturday will bring morning yoga and meditation, brunch, a surprise workshop, as well as paddle boarding, SUP yoga and campfires. On Sunday there will be more yoga and meditation, walks and wild swims. The yoga classes are themed around the natural elements, bringing nature into your practice.
All activities are optional but encouraged, so you can nap, read or swim and explore - it’s completely up to you.
Stay
In a magical woodland village in Somerset. Some of the great things include: a sauna, a roundhouse for yoga with a logburner, a covered outside yoga platform, hammocks, showers with views across the woods, a secret lake for swimming and paddle boarding.
Rooms will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis. There are a range of yurts, wooden cabins, a shepherds hut and even a cob roundhouse, all with their own log burners and private fire pit areas outside. The yurts can be set up for triple occupancy for 3 friends (in a single and double bed), the others are a mix of twins and doubles.
Eat
All the food on the retreat is prepared by Beth the Free Range Chef, our chief Wild Times chef. It is all nutritious, wholesome and vegetarian. Snacks, drinks and meals are provided.
There will be fruit and a hot drink station for you to help yourself to throughout, with herbal teas, coffee, fresh mint, lemon and ginger. We can cater for dietary requirements if you let us know beforehand.
Location: Somerset
Campwell is a woodland camp around six miles north-east of Bath in Somerset, South-West England. The site is tucked away down quiet lanes with wild hedgerows. The site is all about low-impact living, from the outdoor kitchen where you can cook over fire, to the eco-friendly toiletries in the compostable loos.
This wild place encourages you to go off-grid, turn off your phone and immerse yourself in nature. Enjoy walks around the woods with views across the green Somerset hills. Read and relax in a hammock. Wander down to the tucked away botanical wild swimming lake, surrounded by beautiful trees.
