Returning Home: a quest to cultivate the strength of stillness

from £300.00

4-7 September

Wiltshire, SP5

“Real strength can be found not in power, money, or weapons, but in deep, inner peace.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Faced with global forces that are unstable and uncertain—and living in a culture that is fast-paced and hyper-connected—it takes courage and skill to move in the opposite direction. To choose stillness over haste, silence over noise, gentleness in place of assertion. By turning to the natural world, we can remember a forgotten wisdom and a harmonious rhythm; we can cultivate a new form of strength and contribute to a culture of care. 

This four‑day immersion—co‑created by WildKin and the Bio‑Leadership Project—offers the space, community, and tools to be part of this movement. Led by Andres Roberts and Simon Lamb, this weekend of reconnection—blending mindfulness, movement, music, dance, sauna, storytelling, and a deep nature immersion—is an invitation to move in the other direction. To return home.

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.

This retreat is for you if:

• You feel overwhelmed or unsettled by world events

• You’re living at a pace that feels unnatural

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

• You wish to rekindle joy in living

• You need rest—a reset, not just a break

• You’re seeking clarity on your next path

• You yearn to reconnect with yourself and the land
