Welcoming Winter day retreat

Winter is the season of retreat: a time to draw energy inward, rest and restore, and tend to the inner world. This day focuses on practices that are grounding, warming and nourishing: yin yoga, a guided immersive sauna session and cold water swimming.

Leave feeling ready to welcome the season for what it is: a quiet pause, a chance to restore your energy, and an opportunity to reconnect with the deeper rhythms of your life.

Your hosts-

Lucy Wright -

Lucy is a yoga teacher, rewilding guide, Sauna master and cold water enthusiast. Her teachings are inspired by Daoist philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and life all around us. In class you’ll just as easily catch her talking about old takeaway menus in the kitchen drawer as yogic history. Lucy wants to evoke a sense of ease, acceptance and play with everyone feeling welcome.

“It all came together so beautifully, the food, the location, Lucy’s amazing yoga teaching, the cold dips…and meeting some amazing women” Claire, 2025
