Mark & Matt know how essential nature is to our mental and physical health and we often tell our guests that "life begins at the end of your comfort zone". We invite you to join us for our second Wim Hof Fundamentals course with the fabulous Will Van Zyl to experience for yourself the power of disconnecting from the outside world and re-connecting with nature.

We held our first 'sold out' event back in October, where we were joined by some fantastic people experiencing the power of the Wim Hof method for the first time. We all made new friends and deep connections that will last forever. To quote one of our guests, "What a beautiful weekend! Nature, community, love and achievement."

Will is one of the UK's leading and highly rated Wim Hof Method instructors, trained by the man himself.

Will is quoted as saying:

"We have an incredible Innate Intelligence within us that governs every action and reaction of our bodies and minds.

Every living thing - every part of Life - has this.

Learning to connect with it, feel it and harness it will help us become strong again in Mind, Heart and Body.

With it we can truly Open Up to Life."

In the serenity of the torch-lit Woodlands and accompanied by tribal percussion from live musicians, we will then be led by Will through the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind and learn about the underlying physiology. He will lead us through the breathwork session and an optional ice bath.

If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for everyone but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.

It's then back to the campfire to warm up and eat some campfire cooked vegetable stew while listening to Tales Around the Campfire. The session will finish with a stunning professional fire performance from our own Matt and Kate of Poi Passion.

There will be hot drinks and snacks available throughout the session. There are toilets and changing facilities on site.

We also have a limited amount of camping tickets, so you don't have to rush off home after the event.
