GROUND & GATHER

from £72.00

Divine woodland day retreats in the woods, for women…

Ground & Gather is a wild woodland experience - a space to return to ourselves, remembering how we used to gather, and reconnect with the innate wildness that is in all of us - in a way that is both simple and sacred.

This is a chance to honour the simplicity of gathering around the fire together, hearing each other’s stories, witnessing and sharing our lives in all the big and small ways, coming back to the earth, honouring stillness and slowness, a sanctuary for tired minds and bodies.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Sisterhood and community in a space free from judgment or expectation

  • Deep connection to nature in beautiful ancient woodland

  • Meditations, groundings, seasonal rituals, creativity, crafts

  • Woodland wanders, foraging walks, hammock lazing

  • Homemade food, cooked and served around the firepit

  • Hot drinks and homemade snacks

  • Sharing circles to offer our voice and our stories to each other

  • Space to read, rest, think, muse, journal, write

  • Poems, music, laughter, tears, love

This is an opportunity to be truly taken care of by two experienced and compassionate facilitators, held gently and lovingly, while you ground into the woodland setting, reconnecting with Mother Nature and the earth.

Each day is rooted in simplicity and surrender, giving ourselves time to slow down, drop our shoulders, nowhere to go, nothing to do, no one to be.

Just you, in the woods, remembering yourself back.

Next sessions:

  • Summer: 13 June 2026 (12 -6pm)

  • Autumn: 19 September (12 - 6pm)

  • Winter: 28 November (10-4pm)

(Book two retreats together for £120 - saves £24)

ANY QUESTIONS…?

How will I get to the woods, and where will I park? The woodland is just off a main road between Cirencester and Stroud, down a well-maintained track, with plenty of parking at the end. We will be in the parking space to greet you and walk you the three or four minutes into the woodland from there.

Are there amenities - hot drinks, toilets? Yes, we will be serving plenty of hot tea and coffee, and hot soup warmed over the fire, and there is a compost loo close to the camp.

What about bad weather? We have a beautiful covered area around our central fire where we can be dry if it rains, and the fire will be kept going throughout to warm us. That said, this is a wild circle - so expect to connect with the elements.

Will I have to share or talk in front of people? Not if you don’t feel called to in the moment. There’s something really special about sitting together in silence, and it’s especially magical when you’re being serenaded by the wind and the birds! So see this as an invitation to be in a beautiful woodland space, soaking up the beautiful environment around you, however you need to be there.
