A Transformational Retreat for Women
Embark on a journey like no other at The Rewilding, where the essence of nature meets the soul of feminine empowerment. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Lake District, this retreat is more than a getaway; it's a voyage back to your authentic self, through connection with the powerful forces of nature.
Imagine waking up surrounded by the raw beauty of mountains and forests. Here, you'll reconnect with your inner self, away from the distractions of daily life. Our activities are designed to unlock your raw feminine energy, helping you reconnect with your power and authority.
The Rewilding is not just a retreat; it's a sanctuary where clarity about your mission in life becomes crystal clear. You'll be part of a beautiful, nurturing bubble, where it's safe to let go, release, and create space for new beginnings. And while you're Rewilding your spirit, indulge in the comfort of our luxury 5-star estate, complete with gorgeous bedrooms and en-suites.
Our Rewilding activities will take you on adventures from the break of dawn up majestic mountains to the life-changing experience of wild swimming. Every moment has been carefully curated to take you on a journey, to reconnect with your truth and architect your next level.
After a day of adventure, unwind in our hot tub under the stars. The 5* estate, carefully chosen for its inspiring environment, strikes a perfect balance between luxury and the natural world. Our gorgeous food, prepared with an eye for detail, nourishes both body and soul.
The Rewilding offers inspiring communal spaces for shared experiences and intimate nooks for personal reflection. Here, every conversation, every shared silence, contributes to your journey of transformation.
As a Coach since 2007, I've helped hundreds of women rediscover their authentic selves through my coaching containers. My unique blend of experience as a Coach plus my passion for the wild outdoors with hiking, and wild swimming ensures a retreat that's both a safe transformational space, and an exhilarating adventure. As a trained hill adventure guide, qualified Outdoor First Aider, and certified Outdoor Life Saver, your transformation couldn't be in safer hands.
My superpower lies in creating safe spaces for women. A space where you can be vulnerable, be seen in a way you haven't for years, and experience a profound shift as a result.
Understanding the need for personal space, especially for introverts, each participant is pampered with a gorgeous bedroom with en-suite, either twin or single occupancy. The retreat balances beautifully designed communal areas for group interactions with private spaces for reflection and integration.
The retreat has been carefully curated to take you on a journey to architect your next level of identity, and includes:
a shamanic journey to meet your Wise Woman. This ancient practice is both powerful and illuminating.
group coaching, both indoors and on the hill
wild swimming
forest bathing
We'll have invigorating mornings on mountain tops. We'll discover hidden mountain infinity pools and unwind in a hot tub under the stars. Bliss!
Your comfort in sharing and going deep is paramount. The retreat is designed for you to share and explore as much as you're comfortable with. It's a safe space for vulnerability and profound connection.
The energy of the group is crucial, and we are experts at bringing together the right mix of women to have incredible chemistry. This ensures a harmonious and supportive environment, fostering meaningful interactions and transformative experiences.Your fellow attendees are leaders and businesswomen, with whom you can be guaranteed of enriching conversations and lasting connections.
Here are some of our favourite memories from previous retreats, with some incredible women.
" The Rewilding Retreat was a magical and life affirming experience.
I had the space to think about who I am, what is holding me back and how to move forward.
Not only that, but I have met an amazing group of supportive women who I feel will be friends for life.
I would highly recommend it. "
Mia Briggs
Director, The Public Affairs Company
" The Rewilding was so much better than I could have hoped for.
With all the external noise and excuses of day to day life removed, I really found out who I am and what I'm about when I'm faced with experiences outside my comfort zone.
And who knew I'd also meet my own personal cheer squad of likeminded ladies, led by the high priestess of awesomeness herself, Claire! "
Caroline Baker
Chief Compliance Officer
" The Rewilding retreat is a treat for the soul...under Claire's caring and insightful care, you'll rest, re-energise, connect, and grow, in so very many ways.
I'd recommend to any woman who could use some brain space and recouperation, and a chance to start to FEEL rather than just THINK xx "
Daniella Wainwright
Portfolio Finance Director
" The Rewilding retreat changed my life. It was exactly what I needed, when I needed it, without me even knowing I needed it.
Claire is an absolutely beautiful soul with an infectious smile and I feel extremely lucky to have been able to make this journey with her.
She thought about every little detail and made sure we were looked after so well throughout the whole retreat. The location, the accommodation, the food, the itinerary, the other women on the retreat, all perfect.
We went on a dawn hike, we meditated on top of a hill overlooking Ullswater, we swam in a plunge pool on the side of a mountain, we laughed, we cried, we sang, we connected, we transformed and we even danced and chanted around a fire under a full moon!
My life is different now, it's better. It's so much better that I've already booked to go on not one, but TWO more retreats with Claire!
So if that doesn't show how much I loved and got from this retreat, I don't know what will!! "

" An unforgettable 4 days in nature with an incredible bunch of women. I haven’t laughed so much in a very long time!
I’ve made bonds for life through this experience - already scheduling catch ups!
The support of the group was amazing and really helped me recognise my strength and reinforced my core values
The setting is second to none - spectacular scenery and a beautiful property I was sceptical about the cold water swimming aspect but loved it - the invigorating feeling afterwards was amazing, and doing it with our group made it extra special.
You have designed a very special experience, expertly curated so everyone felt comfortable to share their experiences and challenges.
It is a very special thing and I feel privileged to have been a part of it."
Esther Venning
Partner & Head of Office
" It was everything I expected and more.
The beauty and the peacefulness are unrivalled.
Claire as a retreat host, 10/10 - absolutely bloody lush!
I would highly recommend the retreat to others, (to) those who crave that quiet time to consider their current position and their future goals, who want to be held up by others in similar positions. #Percolate"

" A holiday for your head space to breathe and recharge away from the business of life.
A chance to reconnect with your power and really remember who you are and a break from the noise of day to day pressures. "
