Friday 18th to Sunday 20th September. A small, restorative weekend in the National Forest, created for adults who want to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature.

Forest Flow at Broadleaves

A quieter kind of weekend away.

Forest Flow is a carefully curated adults-only retreat hosted by Broadleaves Glamping and delivered in partnership with Wild Minds Nature Connection CIC.

Across the weekend, you’ll be invited into gentle woodland wellbeing experiences including forest bathing, guided meditation, T’ai-Qi, nature-based creativity, journaling and quiet woodland connection time. Nothing is forced. Everything is offered as an invitation.

Retreat at a glance

Small, calm and intentionally unhurried.

This is not a busy activity weekend. Forest Flow has been shaped around space, stillness and gentle reconnection — with enough structure to feel held, and enough freedom to follow what you need.

Your hosts

Hosted by Broadleaves, guided by Wild Minds.

Forest Flow is hosted by Broadleaves Glamping and delivered in partnership with Jodi and Becki of Wild Minds Nature Connection CIC.

Wild Minds specialise in nature-based wellbeing experiences that help people slow down, connect with the natural world and support their physical and mental wellbeing. Their approach is gentle, inclusive and accessible, whether this is your first retreat or something you already know you love.

Throughout the weekend, Jodi and Becki will gently guide the group through a series of nature-based wellbeing experiences, creating a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone can take part at their own pace.
