Wellbeing Days

Days Out | Wellbeing wanders | Circles

It is so easy to be running around in our day to day lives, the demands and stresses building and worries of the future.

Our wellbeing days and weekend retreats are designed to offer you some real time for you, to pause, reflect, express and release.

Whether you are spending the day or a couple of nights they invite you to experience a deeper connection with yourself and the natural world.

Each retreat has a different offering; a different focus.

Affording yourself the time to reaffirm that YOU matter.

Our community connections that are forged, often last long after the days end and sometimes forge life-long friendships.

I feel totally refreshed after my weekend away with Maria. The pace was just right with time to spend with my own thoughts. I loved the activities and can not wait to join the next one ~ SB

Weekend Retreat | Nature & Meditation

24th - 26th April 2026 or for those that wish - Saturday Am - Sunday Pm (25th AM to Sunday 26th )

Whitby | Sandsend

Join me for a weekend of slowness, stillness and Nature Connection. This is a beautiful area of coastline, large blue skies and quietness. We are back at Sandsend for 2026, for two days of reflection and restoration.

This year we will be offering longer periods of silence to invoke inner reflection, creativity and flow.

We will guide your through some meditations, embodiment and beach grounding as well as offering specific writing prompts for further enquiry.

We will meet at 07:30 in the morning to catch this beautiful time in the morning and will end each day will end around 16:00

The Friday evening will offer an evening meditation and introduction to our weekend.

There are many benefits of inviting stillness on a regular basis and for full days including relieving stress, lowering blood pressure and gaining more clarity. Add this to the benefits of being by water, the negative ions, the soundscape and earthing and this magnifies on a greater level; connecting with ourselves and our natural world more deeply..

SILENT RETREAT

July 26th 10:00 - 15:00 | Owlet Woods Nr Blyton North Lincolnshire

Welcome to our Silent Day Retreat at Owlet Plantation

Step away from the noise of everyday life and into a day designed for deep calm and gentle restoration.

Held within the quiet woodlands of Owlet Plantation, this guided silent retreat offers an opportunity to disconnect from devices, quiet the mind, and re-establish a compassionate connection with your own inner nature.

What to expect

Arrival and orientation: A brief welcome and practical guidance to help you settle into the day.
Guided grounding: Short, non-intrusive guidance to ease you into silence and help orient your senses to the natural world.
Solo medicine walks: Time to walk alone on marked paths through the plantation, using simple prompts to support mindful listening, noticing and presence. You remain within the safety of the group while moving at your own pace.
Quiet sitting: Periods of seated stillness in a sheltered woodland clearing, offering space for reflection and deep rest.
Journaling time: Optional writing moments after silence to gently gather insights and impressions.
Closing circle: We join together for the closing circle to connect and share our experiences.

Who is this for

Anyone who longs to experience solitary practices—walking, sitting, listening—but feels hesitant to go alone.
People seeking respite from stress, mental noise and digital distraction.
Those wanting to deepen their capacity for presence, stillness and inner connection within the safety of a held group.

Practical details

What to bring: Comfortable, layered clothing suitable for woodland conditions; waterproofs and sturdy footwear in case of damp ground; a notebook and pen if you wish to journal; water and a light snack. Mobile phones should be switched to silent and stored away during the retreat.
Accessibility: Paths include gentle natural terrain. Please let us know in advance of any mobility or access needs so we can support you.
Weather: The retreat runs in most weather; activities may be adapted to ensure comfort and safety.
Group size: Small, intentionally limited to preserve quiet and a sense of safety for solo practices.

Safety and care

Activities are offered in ways that prioritise participant wellbeing: clear boundaries, optional participation, and opportunities for support if needed. You remain free to step out of silence and end participation at any time.

How silence is held

Silence at this retreat is intended as a compassionate container . It supports inward attention, reduces distraction, and honours the restorative power of unspoken presence. You are invited to observe the silence with respect for others while following your own needs.
