At the core of who we are as human beings we are deeply connected to the natural world, to the rhythms and flow of seasons, but the modernity of everyday life can leave people feeling depleted and disconnected. NaturED retreats are designed to offer you time and space to disconnect from the pressures of your everyday life and to reconnect and rediscover the planet that we call home. The 5 elements of nature: earth, water, fire, air and space have the ability to connect us, both internally and externally, with the world around us. We will incorporate these elements into our daily practices as we embody the natural flow of nature.
