Women’s Wild Wellness Retreat

Unwind and reconnect in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside with a nature-inspired weekend of adventure and relaxation.
Following the huge success of last year’s wellness retreats, we’re back in 2025 for another Women’s Wild Wellness Retreat. Striking the perfect balance between energising outdoor adventure and calming moments of relaxation, this weekend provides the perfect setting to refresh your mind, body, and spirit.

From relaxing yoga sessions to obstacle courses, and local walks to forest bathing, the entire weekend is carefully curated and tailormade to provide you the perfect blend of movement, mindfulness, and fun – all in a welcoming and warm environment among a small group of like-minded women.

All activities are optional, meaning you can participate as much, or as little, as you feel comfortable with. What’s more, the entire weekend, from start to finish, is women-only, including all our qualified instructors.

When and where is it?
The weekend takes place at the Lea Green Learning and Development Centre, located in the heart of Derbyshire and on the edge of the stunning Peak District. The retreat starts on Friday 9th May from 5pm, and ends on Sunday 11th at 4pm.

Accommodation is spread across 17 spacious, yet cozy, dorm rooms, with shared toilets and hot showers. You’ll likely be sharing with a couple of others, but if you’d prefer to share with a friend or family member, we’ll do our best to accommodate.

What to expect?
Enjoy an outdoor adventure, relax with a book in one of our comfy communal spaces, chat with new friends over a cup of tea… or try a bit of everything! With plenty of activities to choose from and lots of optional downtime, it’s entirely up to you how you spend your weekend. Here’s a taster of the activities you can look forward to:

  • Yoga
  • Local walks
  • Navigation skills
  • Archery
  • Forest bathing
  • Obstacles courses
  • Campfires
  • Mindfulness activities

No previous experience is required. More information about activities will be sent out nearer the time. All activities are weather permitting, and subject to change depending on popularity.

What’s included?

Accommodation and activities.

  • All meals and we also cater to additional dietary requirements.
  • Regular breaks for tea, coffee, and delicious cakes will keep you fuelled throughout the weekend, but you may wish to bring your own snacks.
