Rewilding Within is back for a second year - this time for an extended period of 5 nights and in honour of Wellness month on Tresco this March.
Inspired by the magic of Tresco, Yogi Esmée Halliday saw the island as the perfect opportunity for a rewilding of self. A chance to relish in simple pleasures, spend time in and amongst nature, unearthing a more authentic way of being.
“In an overstimulated culture, disconnection from oneself is all too easy. This retreat is a chance to slow down, turn inward and re-assimilate ourselves with natures rhythms. I believe that yoga and wild swimming are the perfect pairing to guide us back to the present”
Esmée intends for retreat participants to immerse themselves in island life; to bathe in the peace; and to leave Tresco feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
A personal development journey guided by
nature herself, the retreat will use yoga, breath work, meditation, wild
swimming, and local, conscious food to nourish the body and soul. Also woven within your itinerary will be the option to join various re-wilding activities from mindful foraging to herbalism workshops.
Wake each morning to the sound of the sea and
the glow of the sun, and seize the opportunity to bask in the world's natural
glory.

Esmée Halliday
Stemming from a background in contemporary dance, Esmée’s passion for movement lies in its ability to reconnect us back to our bodies. As a Master teacher in Sattva yoga, her signature style integrates fluid movement, hands on assists and adjustments, whilst weaving wisdom into every class. Esmée shares a holistic practice, with the intention of bringing each being back to their essence, reconnecting to who they truly are, beneath the noise of life.

Issy Malloch Brown
Trained at the renowned Ballymaloe cookery school, Issy is passionate about food that speaks to the soul. From brunch to supper, the menu will feature nutritious, local ingredients and will involve elements of foraging from the island landscape - from teas, to garnishes, to shrub shots for gut health. Sustainability will be at the forefront.
