Join us for a truly restorative 3 day/2 night weekend yoga retreat at our incredible, magical forest camp in Somerset, near Bath. This will be our fifth retreat deep in the woods here, and it's a really magical, peaceful and rustic place.

Accommodation is a range of hand-built wooden cabins, yurts, cob houses and a shepherds hut. All have logburners inside and individual fire pits outside.

Walk through the woods to the botanical lake for a swim or a paddleboard. Sunbathe on the decking surrounded by trees. Have a sauna looking out into the forest. Chat over tea and feasts in the camp kitchen. And then head back out into the rest of the world with a little more calm in your soul.

Friday 16 - Sunday 18th June 2023. From £445 for a triple yurt (three friends sharing) and £485 for a twin cabin, yurt or roundhouse.

Retreat highlights include:

Daily vinyasa, yin & meditation classes
A surprise workshop
SUP yoga and learn to paddleboard on the hidden lake
Forest dwelling in yurts, cabins and shepherds huts
Campfire cooking + vegetarian feasts with our favourite Beth the Free Range Chef
Read and nap in the hammocks, connect around the fire, have a sauna or swim in the lake

Come solo or with friends, everyone is welcome.

“A perfect gathering of cosmic energy amongst groovy people”

Beth

“The Wild Times retreat was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. I laughed, I cried, I wrote, I talked, I sang, I bent, I twisted, I sweated, I swam, I balanced, I fell, I walked, I sat, I lay, I drank, I ate, I carved. I was alive. For the first time in a while I felt I was purely myself and completely grounded. I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much!”

Danny

I loved the yoga itself, particularly the variety of yoga and learning new positions - it was so special doing it outside with the rain pattering on the leaves around us. The whole retreat was a magical experience; it felt as if we had gone into our own little world and friendships and a sense of community formed so quickly.”

Tania

“Most fantastic time. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It resets your mind and body and soothe the soul.”

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.
