Return to Self: A Day Retreat at Wasing Estate

Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in a day of deep rest, reconnection, and transformation in the breathtaking surroundings of Wasing Estate.

Return to Self is a carefully curated day retreat centred around the profound practice of transformational breathwork. Designed to help you slow down, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your authentic self, this immersive experience offers the space to reset your mind, body, and nervous system.

We'll begin the day by arriving together, allowing you to settle into the peaceful surroundings before moving into a gentle movement and yoga practice to awaken the body and create the ideal foundation for the breath. From here, you'll be guided through the first transformational breathwork journey, offering an opportunity to access deeper awareness, release emotional and physical tension, and cultivate a greater sense of clarity and connection.

Following the breath session, you'll be invited into a restorative sound and meditation practice, giving you space to integrate your experience, quiet the mind, and rest deeply before enjoying a delicious, nourishing lunch prepared with fresh, wholesome ingredients.

In the afternoon, we'll embrace the healing power of nature with a wild swim in Wasing Estate's beautiful lake, followed by a restorative sauna experience nestled amongst ancient woodland. The contrast of hot and cold, combined with the tranquillity of the natural surroundings, offers a deeply grounding and revitalising experience.

The day culminates with a second transformational breathwork journey, allowing you to go even deeper into your practice, integrating the experiences of the day and creating space for lasting insight, renewal, and inner calm. We'll then gather for a gentle closing circle, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and deeply connected—to yourself, to nature, and to the present moment.

Whether you're seeking clarity, emotional release, nervous system restoration, or simply a day to reconnect with yourself, Return to Self offers a supportive and nurturing space to come home to who you truly are.
