Yurtshire is home to eight magical luxury tree yurts, each one beautifully furnished with its own wood-burning chimineer, hot tub, and glass-roofed showers so you can star gaze into the night. They are nestled between the trees for ultimate peace and privacy.

After your swim, the woodland sauna will be the perfect place to get toasty again while you enjoy the view of the trees and wildlife in front of you. The Wellness Yurt onsite also offers treatments and massage as optional extras (bookings to be made in advance).

Plenty of nature trails and hikes are on the doorstep and around the area for those who wish to explore further (one which you will venture on your guided hike).

Each yurt features one double bed and two single futons - all super comfy and with luxury Egyptian cotton bedding. A wood burner is also inside to keep you toasty and warm no matter what the English weather is doing! There is also a kitchenette complete with a fridge, kettle, small oven, and utensils (although remember that you will be fully catered for!).

Outside, the decking features a log burner within your cozy outdoor seating area, dining table and chairs, the bathroom cabin with a glass roof, and last but not least, each yurt has its own private hot tub! Organic cotton towels and robes are also included for each guest.

All the practices and group gatherings will take place in the Nest - the beautiful communal yurt, where you will also share nourishing home-cooked plant-based meals together.

Enjoy views of the forest from the fairy-lit outdoor seating area that also features campfire equipment and plenty of cushions, blankets, and rugs to cozy up for your evening sharing circles, meditations, and ceremonies.

Program

This retreat is the perfect opportunity to disconnect from your laptop, busy city life, or the usual daily grind and reconnect in nature to your true self, taking time to pause, observe and reflect.

In a world that promotes doing and thinking and in a world that glorifies exhaustion, you will do exactly the opposite - taking time to feel and simply be in nature, tapping into your own natural rhythms and innate divine feminine wisdom.

Through daily practices of yoga and movement, ceremony, and meditation in a wild woodland setting, Free Spirit Yoga will share with you their passion for cyclical living, guided by your own natural rhythms and how you can use all these tools to re-wild back to your true self.

Enjoy a peaceful sleep in the luxury yurts, nourishing plant-based food, wild swimming in the nearby lake, and afterwards, warm up in the woodland sauna or your own private hot tub!

This will be a beautiful opportunity to disconnect from the daily grind and connect with Mother Earth. Be prepared to get hands-on with nature, making your own fires and sharing in a real community spirit!

This retreat is designed for each and every woman of all ages, experiences, backgrounds, nationalities. The magic is the bond you create and what you can share and learn from each other. All it requires is an open mind and heart.
