Work Wild

WILDLY DIFFERENT TEAM RETREATS

Looking for team-building with a difference? The past couple of years have dramatically changed how we all work together, transforming the workplace forever.

Hybrid Zoom meetings are in, catch up chats by the water cooler have gone - which is all the more reason to make the time you actually spend with your team worthwhile.

At The Wild Times, we work to create a unique environment that facilitates real rest and really good work, where real, deep connections and collaboration can happen.

Whether it’s a paddleboard yoga class, a cooking with fire workshop, a day retreat or a whole week tailored to you and your team with added coaches and workshops, let’s chat and see what we can do.

“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.”

“A perfect gathering of cosmic energy amongst groovy people”

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

Do

Relax, you have arrived. Start with tea and grounding yoga, explore or get an early night. Saturday will bring surprise workshops, all centred around nature, as well as paddleboarding, yoga and marshmallows round the campfire. On Sunday there will be more yoga and meditation, a picnic lunch and beautiful walks. All activities are optional but encouraged, so you can nap, read or swim in the lake - it’s completely up to you.

Stay

In a historic 16th Century cottage in the middle of the lakes. Some of the great things include: a sauna, lake views, a separate yoga barn with a log burner, a fire pit outside and cosy nooks to read in. Please note that while this is a wonderful cosy cottage, if you're expecting 5* luxury this isn't it - it's more on the rustic side! Rooms will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. There are single, twin or double (mostly en-suite) warm and cosy bedrooms. The rooms at the front overlook the lake and those at the back are quieter with views up to Nab Scar.

Eat

It wouldn’t be the Lake District if you didn’t start with a cream tea! All the food on the retreat is nutritious, wholesome and vegetarian. Snacks, drinks and meals are provided, from hearty brunches to picnic lunches. There will be fruit and a hot drink station for you to help yourself to throughout, with herbal teas, fresh mint, lemon and ginger. We can cater for dietary requirements if you let us know beforehand.
