11-14th September 2025 – Private woodland in Norfolk, UK
OUR LONGEST GETAWAY! Fancy taking off into the woods for a while? Join us in the wilderness for FOUR days and THREE nights… You don’t need to be a pro camper (the glamping huts are cosy and furnished!) or even be experienced in mindfulness, as you’ll learn all the techniques you need on the retreat. Staying in a lush 42 acre private woodland, you’ll get stuck into guided foraging walks, bushcraft activities, wilderness wandering, nature connecting and homegrown, locally sourced or foraged plant-based food.
Set in a private forest surrounded by 42 acres of lush mixed woodland, Our ‘Skate Wild’ retreat offers a beautiful and calming escape for those looking for a grounding skate getaway. Reconnect with nature, and gain some useful, land based skills, including showing you how to identify, harvest and use the plants and fungi we find on our foraging walk around the woodland. Our bespoke skatepark nestled amongst the ferns, under the leafy green canopy of birch trees create the absolute perfect environment for relaxing the mind with a spot of yoga, and learning some new tricks with your new skate buddies.
Our workshops, walks and facilitators change each year, take a look at what we got up to last year for an idea…
Foraging Walk
1-2 hour foraging walk around the woodland with experienced and knowledgable guides. Learn how to identify edible and poisonous plants and fungi, sustainable harvesting practices, and how to prepare, use and preserve our foraged finds! October is THE best time of year for fungi, and being in a private woodlands means footfall is low, and wildlife is abundant, so we can expect to find lots of interesting and diverse species!
