Greece retreat ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท๐ŸŒž ๐ŸŒŠ

May 17-22nd

Sun, sea, feta and honey. Time to rest, ground and feel stronger, calmer, more spacious. More connected to your body and heart, to others, to nature โœจ

Hike to an ancient temple, have dinner in a local taverna, sw and snorkel in the sea. Practice yoga and meditate, with the bay as our backdrop ๐ŸŒŠ

6 days on the beautiful island of Kea - just get to Athens in time for the transfer and we will sort the rest โค๏ธ

Just two spaces left now in twin rooms - Psathi and Amygdalo.

Located on the hillside overlooking the bay, the rooms are near the olive grove and vineyard, a beautiful 5-min nature walk from the beach and pool. Enjoy an early morning coffee on your private balcony as the sun rises over the bay ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Our accommodation is within restored Kathikies (traditional Greek stone farmhouses) that date back hundreds of years, merging into the hillโ€™s rocky habitat.

The interiors are whitewashed and wood toned, peaceful, beautiful and light filled, along with a private veranda and outdoor shower.

See you on the islandโ€ฆ love Jen x

Cornwall ๐ŸŒณโœจ

Last weekend we were in the Cornish rainforest (did you know we have Atlantic temperate rainforest in the UK?)

Bluebells, Bethโ€™s birthday, a pizza night (a classic retreat dinner) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ• saunas down by the beautiful Bedalder river and a Sunday morning sound bath โœจ

There are rare lichens here that only grow where the air is extremely clean, including my favourite Old Manโ€™s Beard that grows veeeery slowly. And Bedalder means โ€˜sweet waterโ€™ in Cornish - clean beautiful spring water ๐Ÿ‘Œ

This place is just so magical, every single time ๐ŸŒณ we have so much beautiful wildness in the UK, how lucky are we?

With the absolute dream team .yoga and Paul โค๏ธ

Plus the wonderful .with.siobhan, reiki with and massages with and a tour of the rainforest with the directors of

Coconut milk cacao and reishi with , and the BEST olive oil ever ๐Ÿซ’ (yes Iโ€™m a pizza dough kneader now, Iโ€™ve finally found my calling)

Weโ€™ll be back here for New Yearโ€™s Eve, see you there? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿพ

Love Jen, Maya and the rest of us xx

Trying to find the words for our Morocco retreat last week, alongside a mix of photos from our lovely guests ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸŒž

The way time expands when you fill it with new experiences and conversations, and when you are practicing being more present to your life, so one week feels longer and fuller.

The feeling of being barefoot in the sunshine on the slightly dusty rooftop, held by the snow capped mountains in the distance.

The full pink moon rising, as the mountains turned pink with the sunset.

Our creative writing workshop, which somehow turned into tears and laughter and throwing a ball and some beautiful words from the heart (and some hilarious ones too)

Birthday dinners, swinging hats, a night time fire show, traditional gnawa music, and many many happy birthdays sung (some a little early) ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŽ‚

The golden light on the terrace by the fire, overlooking the swimming pool and the village, having a wine and many many chats.

Shopping hauls from the souks, practicing your haggling then retiring to a breezy shaded rooftop for a delicious lunch

So much green, more than Morocco has seen for decades. Wildflowers in the desert, poppies and iris and water in the rivers.

The โ€˜small crowโ€™ (turns out it was a nightingale) singing us back to the Kasbah after our mountain walk and picnic.

Long breakfasts in dressing gowns with coffee, omelettes, fruit salad and fresh orange juice, before retiring to the pool ๐ŸŒž

The spotless starling who sang to us throughout every meditation and morning yoga practice โœจ

A wonderful group of people, who made a promise to come with an open mind, and be kind, and really truly did that. All holding each other during this time together - time and space we take out of our normal lives and routines to rest, reflect, gain perspective, fill our cups, ground, cry, laugh, find joy, let go.

Something like that, anyway โค๏ธ

How lucky and grateful I am that I get to call this โ€˜workโ€™. Joyful, grateful, heart-full. Thank you to my amazing sister assistant always ๐Ÿ™

See you in the wildโ€ฆ love Jen x

Halfway through our Moroccan yoga retreat ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

26 lovely guests, 8 of whom have been with us before, and 3 who have been on this exact retreat with us before!

Morocco is beautifully lush and green at the moment after lots of rain,l over the last few months, and weโ€™re currently on our way to the Atlas Mountains for our hike and picnic driving through wildflower fields and alive groves. We can see the snow capped mountains from our yoga rooftop, and everytime I look at them I want to cry because itโ€™s so beautiful ๐Ÿ”๏ธ mountains are good for your soul.

Usually, after yin yoga lots of the guests will have a drink on the terrace by the fire, overlooking the pool and watching the sunset turn the mountains pink, and tonight the full pink moon too ๐ŸŒ•

On Monday everyone explored the souks before an amazing three course lunch on the shaded rooftop at ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Lots of laughter, lots of yoga, lots of sunshine, lots of tortoises, lots of tagines.

Weโ€™ll be back here in September for a retreat at two beautiful locations, here and in the mountains. And 2027 dates coming soonโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

The Wild Times โœจ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒณ

The Wild Times are extraordinary experiences to help you re-wild, explore, become more grounded and restored.

We love to bring people from all walks of life together for our yoga and adventure retreats in unique, incredible natural places to have fun, relax and challenge themselves and leave smiling, often salty, windswept and a little bit more wild ๐Ÿ„

This Summer weโ€™re also running our first ever โ€˜Wild Teensโ€™ programme - taking a group of teenage girls to the New Forest for 3 days of screen-free wild times - with yoga, marshmallow toasting, nature restoration, wildlife walks and more with the , who may not otherwise get an opportunity like this.

(Spending lots of time outside in my childhood was extremely formative and important for me, and access to nature is something we all need to work to improve - plus WE ARE NATURE - Jen x) we are able to find this thanks to you all joining us on our retreats ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐ŸŒณ and weโ€™ll also be looking for partners to expand this, so get in touch ๐Ÿ‘€

Join us in 2026 in the UK, Morocco, Sweden, Sicily, Greece, France or Slovenia. Lots of our retreats are sold out or nearly sold out already - book with a ยฃ250 deposit and a monthly payment plan ๐Ÿ™

See you in the wildโ€ฆ

Have you been to Sicily yet? ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‹๐ŸŒž

The land of pistachio croissants and lemons and beautiful baroque architecture and ancient temples and aperitivo and vineyards and a little afternoon spritz and swims in the most beautiful sea ๐ŸŒŠ and did I mention that they put pistachio cream in croissants and itโ€™s the most delicious thing ever?! ๐Ÿ‘€

Weโ€™ll be here at the end of April for 7 nights of candlelit dinners, lazing around the pool, morning and afternoon yoga in the beautiful converted traditional farmhouse barn-turned-shala, guided meditations, journalling, relaxed brunches and plenty more. Weโ€™ve also included:

๐Ÿ‹ A boat trip around the coast with snacks and time for swimming
๐Ÿ‹ A day trip to the beautiful island of Ortigia, for a wander, a swim and a Spritz ๐Ÿน
๐Ÿ‹ Dinner out together on the penultimate night for pizza at a local farm

Yoga classes taught by me and .yoga. We weave the natural elements throughout our retreats and classes, encourage you to move how you feel (everything is very optional) with the intention that you feel a little bit stronger, freer and more grounded - in your mind, body and soul. โœจ

Also - many lie downs, naps are encouraged, long savasana, blankets are life, much rest ๐Ÿ’ค

If you have any questions about any of our retreats, or want to know if itโ€™s right for you, drop us a message or we can have a call ๐Ÿ™

See you somewhere beautiful soonโ€ฆ
