Ever feel the need to pause, take a deep breath, and reconnect with yourself? Step away from the daily hustle and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing experience at Wild & Rooted —a carefully curated day retreat on Sunday 13th July designed to help you unwind, recharge, and connect with like-minded souls.
Set in the breathtaking Scandinavian-inspired surroundings of PAUS, this one-day retreat blends movement, warmth, and deep relaxation, offering you the perfect escape into nature. PAUS spans 24 acres of rolling countryside, including 13 acres of wild meadows—the perfect setting to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the beauty of nature.
The morning starts off with a teas/coffees before moving to a feel-good yoga flow (not too fast, not too slow). Next up, you’ll indulge in a delicious 3-course lunch (meat/vegan/vegetarian options available) at the cozy Hilltop Bistro, where you can take in the stunning countryside views.
In the afternoon, you’ll get back to nature with a barefoot sensory meadow walk and enjoy some relaxation time in the Hilltop bathing facilities. Head over to the open air, wood-fired red cedar hot tubs, barrel sauna and cold tubs (if you are brave enough) for the ultimate healing experience.
For those who prefer a more laid-back approach, there are chill out spaces available, complete with deck chairs and hammocks for you to read, chat, share stories and laugh together.
At the end of the day, we will gather for a rejuvenating sound bath session, led by Gabi from Journey through Healing. The gentle sounds will wash over you, melting away any lingering tension and restoring balance to mind, body, and spirit.
This is the perfect opportunity to unwind, recharge, and connect with others in a unique, tranquil setting.
Food and drink options include morning tea/coffee, a delicious 3-course vegetarian/vegan lunch, and refreshment while bathing (with your choice of prosecco, G&T, or elderflower presse). Additional drinks are self-funded.
Please note that although this is a private event where we will have our own use of hot tubs, yoga studio and lunch area, PAUS is open to other people.
