Lake District
Women's Wilderness Weekend Retreat
15-18th January 2027
Swap January blues for mountain views.
Four days of fresh air, wild swimming, hiking, paddle boarding, yoga, hearty food, deep rest and belly laughs with a group of like-minded women in the heart of the Lake District.
This is not a spa retreat.
It's an adventure back to yourself.
15–18 January 2027 | Grasmere, Lake District
From £500 per person
What if the best way to start the year wasn't setting goals...
...but remembering who you are when life isn't rushing you?
Imagine waking up to mist rolling over the fells.
Pulling on your walking boots.
Breathing in crisp mountain air.
Laughing with women who were strangers on Friday but feel like lifelong friends by Sunday.
Feeling your shoulders drop for the first time in months.
No emails.
No school runs.
No endless to-do lists.
Just fresh air, movement, nature and space to think.
This is your chance to press pause on everyday life and spend a weekend reconnecting with yourself in one of the most beautiful places in Britain.
WHY THIS RETREAT?
Because January doesn't need another diet.
Or another impossible New Year resolution.
Or another promise to become a completely different person.
What most women actually need after a busy year is:
✓ Time outdoors
✓ Space to breathe
✓ Movement that feels joyful
✓ Genuine connection
✓ Rest without guilt
✓ Adventure without pressure
✓ A reminder that life is meant to be enjoyed
That's exactly what this weekend is designed to provide.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A weekend of adventure, connection and restoration.
Guided hikes through spectacular Lake District scenery
Wild swimming experiences (completely optional)
Paddle boarding on beautiful lakes
Morning yoga and gentle movement
Evening fireside conversations
Delicious wholesome meals
Plenty of laughter and connection
Time to slow down and reset
Optional massage treatments (additional charge)
Long conversations, hot drinks and cosy evenings
You don't need to be super fit.
You don't need outdoor experience.
You simply need a sense of adventure and a willingness to say yes to yourself.
