Slow Living: A Yoga and Nature Retreat
With Casey King, Amy Jennings, Paul Quinn, Maria O’Reilly, Isis Neal and Suphi
September 22 - 25, 2025
Description:
This retreat is a relaxed, team-supported experience designed for those seeking rest, nourishment, and exploration. Rather than being led by a single teacher, our whole team is here to care for you—whether through movement, food, nature, or stillness.
Throughout your stay, you’ll be invited to connect with nature, your body, and a slower rhythm of life. Try morning yoga, forest walks, sauna rituals, or simply enjoy time to rest, read, or float in the hot tub.
We’ll share homegrown meals, seasonal foraging, and time to move — each adventure is a chance to experience our philosophy of connection, care, and rooted living. This is a space to exhale, to move at your own pace, and be supported by a welcoming team and beautiful surroundings.
