Early bird cost : £700 by March 31st

This 3 day 2 night Healing and Breathwork Retreat offers spacious and gentle immersion in nature within a supportive company at the beautiful setting of Wasing Park. Accommodation is a single/shared cosy bell tent with bed pitched in the heart of Wasing woodland. This retreat is available for a small group of 16. We will be combining healing methods including breathwork, bodywork, coaching, cold water immersion, shamanic techniques and movement. During the retreat we will be holding outdoor sauna and wild swims by the lake for the ultimate reset.

Rebecca Dennis and The Breathing Tree Team are joining together to create a safe, supportive and nurturing space for the group to connect and breathe together. All facilitators are experienced and skilled in a variety of fields in breath and body-based work. Guest facilitator Artur Paulins, (Wim Hof Trained) will join for part of the retreat.

An opportunity to experience the power of your breath and dive deep into understanding deeply ingrained patterns whilst clearing obstacles and restrictions holding you back from reaching your highest potential physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

During this retreat, Rebecca and the team will introduce self-enquiry topics which encourages a deeper self-awareness of who we are today and inspire further consideration to who we aspire to be tomorrow. These exercises are designed to compliment breathwork to bring clarity of vision and remove obstacles and blockages – a feeling you can take outside of the space and into your everyday life.

Over the three days we will offer a variety of breathing techniques whilst gaining an understanding of the latest science on how we can upgrade our breathing and nervous system for optimum health. Providing a deep understanding of the impact the way we breathe has on every aspect of our lives – mentally, physically and emotionally.

We will be exploring breathing techniques to take away and use throughout the day to change our mental and physical states in a positive way and regain balance.

Conscious breathing keeps us connected with our body and mind so we are more able to listen the messages and alerts being sent via the brain to the body and the nervous system.

This can help you let go of unhealthy breathing habits, such as breath holding and shallow breathing, have a deeper understanding of breath patterns and release both physical and emotional tension from the body.

This can dramatically shift the way you feel in your body and bring higher states of awareness.

The session will be covering :

– Understanding breathing patterns

– Effective and easy-to-use tools to improve our respiratory system

– How the way people breathe affects their physiology – ways to aid sleep, alleviate stress and anxiety levels, increase mental focus, increase lung capacity, boost cardiovascular system, energy levels and physical performance.

Breathwork is for everyone.

We are limiting the group to 16. More details to follow once booking is made.

Accommodation & surroundings

This retreat takes place in the stunning narniaesque woodland area of Wasing Park. You’ll be surrounded by nature with acres to explore. The eco Woodland venue, is set in a leafy glade beneath wondrous towering trees and ancient woodland, with a stunning Ice Pond and views over the Parish Church and the manor house. Equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, a selection of wooden and temporary structures, fire pits, a collection of carved wooden seating, compost W.C.’s and outdoor electric showers. A haven for wildlife with seasonal blue bells, foxgloves and ferns, it is home to many retreats, festivals and activities focussed on education and rejuvenation of the mind, body and soul.

All bell tents are single or shared occupancy with beds, duvets and blankets to give you time to yourself for rest and contemplation. The woods include a covered outdoor kitchen and dining area and the retreat is fully catered with delicious and locally-sourced vegetarian food, as well as food foraged from the wild. There is a fire lit for the days and evenings.

A welcome letter and suggested kit list of what to bring will be provided at point of booking.

Parts of the site are on uneven ground. Please contact us if you have physical health or mobility difficulties to make sure we can best accommodate your needs.

Our food & your dietary needs

The retreat is full-board with delicious home-cooked vegetarian food. In line with sustainable practices across the Estate, our cooks produce seasonal, vegetarian food for our guests. We source local produce and support local food suppliers.

Food allergies & intolerances

Please tell us well in advance of your stay of any food allergies or intolerances you may have.

You can tell us this on the Booking Form via a link we send you in your confirmation email.

Silence

Our retreat include some periods of silence as a way of deepening into mindful awareness. If you are new to spending time in silence in the company of other people, it can feel awkward to begin with. However people usually find this to be a useful experience and we encourage you to explore the silent periods with a spirit of openess and curiosity. 

Sustainability

Wasing takes sustainability seriously. We use compost toilets and solar power showers on the Woodland Camp area. The gardens are managed organically and we only use biodegradable cleaning products. Please bring soaps and toiletries that are eco-friendly. We ask that any non-eco sun screen is also avoided due to an endangered dragonfly protected in the lakes for the swimming.
