Wonder Retreat - Reconnecting with Yourself and the Natural World - Women's Retreat

The Wonder Retreat - Reconnecting with Yourself and the Natural World

Step into the gentle magic of Spring...
Nature is awakening to the dawn of a new season. The land is lifting its head to the sun.  After the deep rest of winter, our hearts stir with the promise of new beginnings.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is the season of the Wood element, where the liver energy rises like sap in the trees, bringing vision, movement, and renewal. Just as nature stretches toward the light, your spirit too may be longing for space to breathe, dream, and expand.

Held in the arms of nature and the magic of Spring and set in the sacred landscape of St Nectan’s Glen in Cornwall, this retreat invites you to reconnect with wonder, clarity, hope, and joy. Through stillness, connection, ceremony, and intuitive exploration, you’ll be gently guided back home to yourself.

What if…

What if by connecting more deeply with the energy of wonder, and turning inward with gentle curiosity, you could discover new possibilities that lead to a more expansive, free-flowing, and joyful life in the everyday?

Is this you?

• You long for time and space to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters
• You want to feel held by nature, and rekindle your sense of joy and curiosity
• A new beginning is stirring within you, but you're unsure how to nourish it
• You crave clarity and insight after a season of stagnation or heaviness
• You’re sensitive, heart-led, and often feel the weight of the world
• You want to strengthen your connection with your intuition and the natural world

If any of this resonates, the Wonder Retreat is calling you home.

Introducing the Wonder Retreat

Spring is the Golden Dawn: a time of soft awakening, trust, and new potential.

At St Nectan’s Glen, the veil is thin. Time slows, and nature whispers. This land holds ancient trees, sacred waterfalls, and elemental beings. Y ou’ll be nestled in cosy cabins atop an ancient rainforest, greeted each morning by birdsong and golden light. There’s space here to breathe, to rest, to reconnect.

We’ll align with the Spring Equinox to gently clear stagnant energy, nourish new seeds of intention, and support your natural rhythm. No pressure or striving—just presence, joy, and quiet transformation.

Some words from a previous retreat guest at one of our St Nectan’s Glen retreats:

I came to revisit a special place in my life. My highlights of Resonance Retreat included Lynda and Hattie’s care, the direction of the retreat and a great holding space. I loved the sound healing and drumming as well as eating together. There was a real sense of sisterhood and I have a deeper understanding of this. I know that I am loved and I am important. It was one of the most magical and happiest times of my life. A restoration of fun and laughter after experiencing traumatic grief. I actually feel whole again . It has been a life changing retreat. Thank you so much
