Retreats & Adventures
I take small groups and individuals on adventures in nature, with no technology, that can last anywhere from a day to five days. Stripped back to their simplest form these adventures are designed to expand your perspectives, cultivate trust in Life and understand yourself more deeply.
There is no set process. Adventures are designed with you and typically form part of a wider programme of consistent and regular coaching sessions.
A Natural Remembrance - Reconnecting to The Wild Self
This experience is for you if you are longing for inner space, more time in nature and the opportunity to really listen to where your heart wants to take you.
This is a five day deep dive into nature and the self. Central to this experience is a 2 day ‘solo’ - a period of fasting in solitude in a place of your choosing in the woods.
In a world obsessed with speed and accumulation, this retreat offers something quite different and critical; the opportunity to experience who you really are when you take away all the ‘doing’ and ‘stuff’ that clutters your life, and you instead, rest in ‘being’.
I will guide you through some beautiful nature connection, energy cultivation, breathing, relaxation and awareness exercises that will resource you on your solo and beyond. Inspiration for these exercises comes from ancient and indigenous cultures as well as more contemporary practises. The fasting over the solo time will sharpen your awareness, cleanse your body and literally open you up to new possibilities.
Your relationship to the natural world is likely to go through a shift, which will bring about the beginning, if not the continuation, of a profound adventure of wisdom, joy and heart.
I offer this experience for anywhere between 1-4 people. See my latest blog here of a similar experience I had recently.
“I did a Quest into nature with Hamish, I’d like to thank him for sharing his deep wisdom and creating a protected space deeply surrounded in the woods. It was a powerful platform of isolation in nature, which ignited my own journey into new depths of personal intimacy and insights. Thanks Hamish!”
“My husband and I did a retreat with Hamish. It was in an amazing location and was beautifully curated. It was deeply thought provoking and, to be honest, life changing. Hamish is a very competent mentor and led the retreat with wisdom, compassion and integrity. I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the healing power of nature.”
“One of the toughest things I ever put myself through... deeply profound and life changing .. Hamish is an amazing facilitator... applying the most gentle yet tough love while softly steering me towards one breakthrough after another.”
“I had the most incredible experience and treasured the gift of spending time with Hamish. His passion for nature; along with his gentle wisdom and deep experience of journeying into wilderness was very inspiring to me. I had not realised that Mother Nature was such a strong healer, teacher and holder.”
“Those hours with nature put a mirror to myself that I’d been avoiding for months. That moment at the top of the mountain and our following debrief made me see positivity and understand myself in a way that I’ve never known.”
“For my birthday gathering in Somerset, Hamish created a two-hour nature-based meditation that was thoughtful and meaningful but also accessible to those who’ve never taken part in retreats or reflections like this. It was gentle, yet really touching for a small group of all ages and personality types, and beautifully guided with the perfectly chosen poem that left everyone feeling uplifted.”
