Nature-Based Retreats
A weekend immersion in the woodland
These retreats offer a rare chance to step away from daily life and spend a full weekend in a simple woodland setting. Around the fire, among the trees, and in quiet reflection, you’ll find the space to pause, re-orient, and return renewed.
Is this for you?
At a turning point and unsure what comes next
Needing distance from everyday demands to think more clearly
Sitting with an ending, a transition, or a difficult decision
Longing for quiet time in nature without having to do it alone
If so, this weekend may offer the pause you’ve been missing.

About your guide
I bring over three decades of experience as a psychologist, alongside extensive training in rites-of-passage and nature-based work. I was apprenticed by David Wendel Berry, who introduced Vision Quest work to the UK, and I continue to support his work.
My approach is grounded, careful, and respectful of the traditions that shape this practice. I work primarily with people in midlife and later life, supporting moments of transition, reflection, and reorientation.
