Step away from the noise. Nature-based retreats and workshops that combine guided walks, breathwork, mindfulness and cold-water immersion, led by a Registered Nurse who spent two decades in healthcare.
Our signature experiences
You do not need to be fit, experienced, or sure about any of it. Most people arrive on their own and leave having agreed to come back.
A no-cost monthly day out featuring guided nature immersion, open-air meditation, breathwork and wild swimming. Press pause, recharge, and reconnect with yourself and with other people.
See how a day runs
Four hours taking a deep dive into the five bodies of wellness. You leave with tools that last, and the day closes with a shamanic drum meditation to settle everything you have covered.
Explore the workshop
For people working through something specific. One-to-one mindset and mindfulness coaching that combines clinical insight with meditation, breathwork and habit design, built around your week rather than an ideal one.
See how it worksThe framework
Wellbeing is never one-dimensional. Five layers, each held by the one around it, which is why strain in any single body is felt by all the others.
Nervous system, breath, movement and sleep. The layer where stress shows up first and most measurably, and the fastest one to reach with a practical tool.
Thoughts, focus, beliefs and mindset. Supports clarity and direction, and the layer people notice returning first after a reset.
Awareness, expression, boundaries and connection. Supports resilience and the quality of your relationships.
Purpose, values and intuition. Supports motivation and vision, the sense of why any of it matters, which is usually the first thing burnout takes.
Capacity, recovery and boundaries. The difference between sustainable energy and constant output, and the layer most often ignored until it collapses.
The model is the spine of every session, whatever the format.
See how it is taughtWhy Nature Awareness
Twenty years as a Registered Nurse (NMC) and ten years in mental health nursing. Every practice on offer here has a reason behind it, and Leah can tell you what that reason is.
Breathwork, mindfulness, grounding and cold-water immersion. Practical things you do with your body, outdoors, that settle a nervous system rather than talk about settling one.
Over 300 people have come through. Retreats are child and dog friendly by design, and the group is the reason most people come back rather than the itinerary.

Still riding the waves of this magical day. Hiking in nature, wild swims, cliff jumps, belly laughs, and the most beautiful energy flowing through the group.
This course has completely transformed me as a person. I feel more relaxed, confident, focused and happy, and I can deal with situations I have put off for most of my life.
I had the best day. Still feeling cleansed, purified and ready for a beautiful week.
