“The whole day was uplifting, awe inspiring and transformational. The venue was out of this world and a perfect setting to escape the fast world we live in to allow more focus on just being. It was so interesting to make the connections between seasonal changes and those within ourselves. I left (reluctantly) feeling so positive and energised. I will be definitely booking another one.”

Laura M.

“The absolute highlight was the sound healing. I have never had an experience like it and loved it.”

“The location was beautiful and the barn had a very positive and warm feel about it, with it’s countryside views and log burning fire. Having a full day to ‘retreat’ allowed us to dig deeper, spend time outside and connect with the environment. The effects of this day has been long lasting and really made a difference to the way I live my life”

K.C

“I enjoyed everything about the retreat. I loved the different elements and the not knowing what we were going to do next. The most powerful thing was the sound healing. It was amazing.”

“Just when we thought we had finished the day, Helen built an outside fire. We ate food on whittled sticks, whilst sat on tree trunks under a bright evening sky and a double rainbow. A perfect end to a perfect day.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Once your booking and payment have been received, you will be sent a link to a secure online health screening form, please complete it at least 48hours before the retreat.  If you have previously filled out a health questionnaire with Natural Movement Matters you won’t need to do it again.

Further information will be sent out a week before the date of the retreat to confirm details, location and what you need to bring.

We will be both inside and outside as much as possible, so wear clothes that you can layer as well as allowing you to move freely.  Bring waterproofs, boots or wellies, hats are a great idea as it gets windy on the hills. Please bring a spare change of clothing.

A big cosy blanket and warm fluffy socks will help the sound healing feel even more magical.

Each of the seasonal days will have something different due to the nature of the retreat.  Enjoy a full day of movement (indoors and outside), natural mindfulness, forest bathing, walking, seasonal food, campfire.

The gentle rhythm allows time throughout the day to relax, reflect and rewind, so you leave feeling you have had a full weekend away even though it has only been a day.

Yes. Please just let us know in advance.
