Wonderment in the woods

Retreat by day, festival by night. Let me tell you about this most gorgeous Autumn Equinox weekend, where the medicine on offer is equal parts wellbeing, joy, friendship, woodland feasts for proper foodies, nature, not taking oneself too seriously, dancing, DJ's, healing sound baths, and yoga of course! Late September, the mood turns naturally towards gathering, harvesting, reflecting on cycles past and ones to come. We meet on my old home turf, the stunning and soul-altering Wasing Estate, nestled in rural West Berkshire about 20 mins from Newbury and Reading. The event is led and curated by most generous and mischievous of hosts, my dear friend Chris Fitchew. The mood glides effortlessly from sincerity to silliness, and the people who come choose to return year on year, forming supportive and inspiring friendships that traverse the seasons. I have been offering yoga, movement and reflective practices at Wonderment since the outset, and am happy to be part of the team again this year. It's one of these events where I get to enjoy the mini retreat with world-class facilitators, as much as I enjoy teaching you wild somatic yoga in my most favourite woodland habitat. Step into something far more than a festival. It is time to become our authentic selves. For one weekend on the autumn equinox, Wonderment returns to the woodland of Wasing for its boldest chapter yet -- a living, breathing playground where adventure, wellbeing and pure magic collide. Retreat by day. Festival by night. Leave the ordinary at the gates. The Year Seven theme is 'Becoming' the best version of who we are. Six unforgettable years brought us here. The community is stronger. The experience is deeper. The energy is higher. The magic is real. 'Somewhere inside you is a more powerful life waiting to begin. We just gather around the fire while you remember.'
