Rewilding Within is back for its third year and it is the perfect way to welcome in the spring.
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, and spend time in and amongst nature, unearthing a more authentic way of being.
"Each day of the retreat is guided by a unique theme, shaping the energy and focus of our time together," says Esmée. "Expect a rhythm that allows for deep rest, connection, and renewal - moving through moments of stillness, exploration and embodiment.
Mornings are slow and intentional, beginning with meditation, breath work, and an embodied yoga practice to ease into the day. We then gather for a refreshing dip in the ocean (with the beach just a stones throw from our property, rest assured a sauna eagerly awaits you) and then indulge in a nourishing brunch crafted from seasonal ingredients - including nature’s offerings from Tresco’s gardens.
Afternoons invite curiosity and play as well as time out to rest and read. Enjoy a treatment at Tresco Island Spa or participate in a workshop - perhaps it’s a fermentation demonstration, honey and herbalism class or some barefoot foraging. These sessions are designed to deepen your connection with both your body and the wild world around you.
As the evening unfolds, we collect for a grounding practice; from yin yoga to a fire ceremony or moon bathing, it's our evening ritual, beautifully closing the day before a three-course meal, shared under the glow of candlelight and connection. This retreat is a space to slow down, unearth and rewild."
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. Bathe in the island peace and leave Tresco feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
