rewilding within
a Blockhouse retreat, Tresco Island(final room available - open for an individual or two sharing)
Saturday 8th - 13th March 2025yoga & wild swimmingRewilding Within is back for a second year, this time for an extended period of 5 nights and in honour of Wellness month of Tresco March 2025.
“In an overstimulated culture, disconnection from oneself is all too easy. This retreat is a chance to slow down, turn inward and re-assimilate ourselves with natures rhythms. I believe that yoga and wild swimming are the perfect pairing to guide us back to the present”
Inspired by the magic of Tresco, I saw the island as the perfect opportunity for a rewilding of self. A chance to relish in simple pleasures, spend time in and amongst nature, unearthing a more authentic way of being.
This retreat is a chance to pause, reflect and reconnect.
Reconnect with yourself, with nature and with a community of likeminded souls. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in island life; to bathe in the peace; and to leave Tresco feeling a sense of rejuvenation.
A personal development journey guided by nature herself, the retreat will use yoga, breath work, meditation, wild swimming, local and conscious food to nourish the body and soul.
Wake each morning to the sound of the sea, the glow of the sun, and seize the opportunity to bask in natures glory.
Woven within your afternoon itinerary, you will have the option to join various re-wilding activities from mindful foraging to herbalism workshops.
These sessions will be co-created by Esmée & Issy, guiding you through unique sensory experiences that restore your connection with the natural world.
