OUTLINE
Celebrate Samhain in the South Downs , this special retreat as we enter the dark time of year. Think restorative yoga, breathwork and sound healing to hold and support us as we connect through magic. The veils between two worlds `are at their thinnest during Samhain and think bonfires, yoga by candlelit in the woods, and gathering with like minded people, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Stretch out over the Downs for long walks in the Autumnal landscape and find space for rest, you will be noursished by chef prepared seasonal offerings with candle light feasts…
Your home for this break is the wonderful Tilton House, nestled in the South Downs National Park, just over 90 minutes from London. Steeped in Bloomsbury History, this storied house is magical. Listed as One of the Top 25 Retreats Worldwide by The Guardian….

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!
