Room to Breathe: A Seasonal Pause at Wadhurst Castle

Because your nervous system deserves more than “fine.”

Because this season is asking for more you.

You’re not imagining it,

The mental load. The lack of space. The quiet ache for something that’s yours.

You move through your day with strength, love, and relentless presence…

But when was the last time someone held you?

Room to Breathe is a one-day, nature-based retreat designed for women

who give everything and are ready to receive something back.

No one asking for snacks.

No tabs open in your mind.

Just space to breathe, move, be, and reconnect.

Held in the private grounds and wild woodlands of Wadhurst Castle, this is your pocket of peace.

A few rare hours away from obligation, and back into your own rhythm.

What you’ll experience:

Gentle Qigong to shift your energy and bring you back into your body

Mindful Walking & Forest Bathing in private woodland. Slow, sensory, restorative

Lunch cooked over fire – homemade soup and seasonal accompaniments shared in quiet community

Gentle Meditation + Intention Setting – to meet your inner world with honesty and care

Circles of reflection – for laughter, tears, clarity and connection

And more than that:

Space to feel without being rushed

Time to hear yourself think or not think at all

A reminder that you’re still in there… underneath the lists, the logistics, the noise

Come alone or bring someone who sees you.

This is your invitation to step away for a few hours, and return home to your life fuller, softer, more connected to yourself.

Why now?

The Autumn Equinox is a moment of transition — a threshold in the turning of the Earth.

It’s a time to honour what you’ve carried, and gently ask:

Is the path I’m walking still aligned with the woman I’m becoming?

Nature’s turning invites our own.

Come mark the shift, not with pressure, but with presence.

ABOUT THE LOCATION

This retreat will take place within the private grounds of the stunning Wadhurst Castle. A peaceful, historic estate tucked away in the East Sussex countryside. We’ll have exclusive access to the gardens, woodland, and hidden paths that are usually closed to the public, allowing you to truly slow down and soften into the quiet. Just over an hour from London, and a short drive from Tunbridge Wells, this is a rare opportunity to experience the stillness of Nature in an extraordinary setting. It’s not just beautiful… it’s held, private, and yours for the day.

PRACTICALS

WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING

Sensible comfortable clothes and supportive shoes

Warm comfortable clothes

Warm Waterproof jacket advisable in case of light showers

Blanket for extra warmth if you like.

Water to stay hydrated

I provide a waterproof sit-mat and have waterproof ponchos you can use as an extra layer if you like.

In every Nature Retreat, I have held, I am always deeply grateful to see a look of peace and contentment on the faces of the participants as they leave the forest. In our fast-paced lives, we rarely get the chance to find this kind of tranquillity and connection and it can be a very moving and comforting experience.
