This gathering is created to embrace principles of interbeing, hopefulness, and a love of life. Faced by an unstable global picture and living in fast-paced environments, it can be easy to forget that life is meant to be peaceful and joyful.
The Daoist principle of Wu Wei—“effortless action”—reminds us that life should not feel like swimming upstream. This resistance is often a signal that we’re moving against the grain .
However, in the noise and haste of daily life it can be difficult to hear our intuition, which always knows the way for us. In stillness and silence, motion and energy, laughter and community, this sense of self emerges.
Returning Home is a four-day, offline retreat in Wiltshire, co-created by WildKin and the Bio Leadership Project. It provides space, tools, and connection to deepen presence, stillness, and intuition.
In preparation, we will spend time reflecting, walking, storytelling, eating, and resting. We will also enjoy breathwork and qigong inspired by the season, guided by Simon. From our ‘wild home’, you will venture out into the 1,500-acre farm for a solo immersion in nature, guided by Andres Roberts. Returning to our base, we will reflect together around the fire before cooking a feast on it, celebrating with music, dance, and motion.
As you depart the hope is that you do so with a deepened sense of “home” and a reliable map back to stillness, openness, and knowing—even as life’s winds continue to blow.

• You’re questioning or disconnected from your identity and gifts
