GO WILD FOR YOUR HEALTH RETREATS…
AS FEATURED IN THE GUARDIAN:-
&
The Times - Wild Fitness
OUTLINE
We have shifted, we’re learning about carving time out. The commitment required to pause from our distractions and dive into space to offer ourselves the nourishment of listening. Conscious breathing; conscious thought; conscious movement.
This retreat will be a space to learn new ways and techniques in nature to focus ourselves . We’'ll be offering gentle stretching with yoga, deep breathing meditations, hiking the wonderous Downland (we’ll be walking this landscape in which we live) eating mood boosting delicious food. Each day we will gently exercise our hearts with some cardio either by Ebike, Wild Sea Swimming , or SUP
We know you need time away to breathe, feel free and move into levity. So we have curated a wonderful retreat to deliver you, a feeling of adventure and so you remember your wild spirited self.

Sarah’s teaching focuses on inquiry based movement that is practical, accessible and rooted in gathering together in community. Bringing together traditional teachings in a modern context her classes provide a platform for students to get to know themselves rather than perform.
Sarah is inspired by teaching beginners and supporting the next generation of yoga teachers.
Sound Healing with Brightitta
Brighitta plays alchemy crystal singing bowls which are made with 99.992% pure quartz and blended with other crystals, gemstones, and precious metals. Her Sound Baths are truly immersive as our bodies ‘hear’ the crystalline sound vibrations with every cell. The sound often resonates through our many layers - the body gives feedback with sublime movements of energy while the mind can see colours and visions of spontaneous insights.

Hannah discovered breathwork at a yoga retreat in 2003, where the experience transformed her understanding of how effective different breathing techniques can help deal with stress, anxiety, confidence, energy levels & relaxation.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS RETREATS:-
So many thanks Shaun and Polly. What I needed was exactly what you gave me..an opportunity to stop having to make decisions for a while and to take on a few new ways of thinking, eating, moving and connecting with new people that I will absorb into my daily life from right now.
- Sarah W - Go Wild September 2021
From start to finish I absolutely loved my Go Wild Retreat. From the idyllic setting at Tilton House, to the incredible food, to the diverse range of activities, everything was absolutely spot on. I felt very at home and comfortable straight away; I had never been on a retreat before and this was such a lovely experience for me and I loved every second.
- Millie E - Go Wild 28th June 2021
I am very glad that I returned to Tilton House for a second retreat after a year away. This one was equally moving and inspiring. The yoga, the many other retreat activities, and the delicous meals were a gift for me. Life has been challenging and the retreat was a pocket of time when everything else went away. It was a rare moment in which I was truly immersed in the here and now. And that doesn’t seem to happen much these days. I made four new friends, too - a windfall given last year's lockdown.
- Sharon Bylenga - Go Wild 28th June 2021
Go Wild retreat combines just the right balance of outdoor activities, yoga and socialising. To complete this perfect arrangement is the beautiful location and surroundings of Tilton House, with its historical legacy and picturesque gardens. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to visiting again!
