I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what is going on in the world right now, and how I can be useful.

It may seem like I’m just ignoring it all, disconnecting and enjoying my life as if nothing is happening.

But it’s actually more of a conscious choice of where to place my awareness, and how I can protect my own energy and be there for others.

This was part of my process in creating the Rewild Retreat. I wanted to design an experience for people to remember how to live in a way that supports our nervous system. A way of living that is more natural and less “noisy”.

The nervous system wasn’t designed to consume so much news as it does now. It’s literally making us sick, as fear wrecks havoc on our body, mind and soul.

We are designed to receive light from the sun, bathe in mineral-rich seas, and connect with others. To take our time over meals and enjoy the journey from finding the food to savouring every bite.

We are here to create, and connect, not to consume so much.

It sounds simple, and you may think, “Well, I could get that anywhere.”

And that would be true…

But the environment counts.

There’s something about jumping on a plane, catching a ferry to an island where it feels like time has stood still, where the wifi is patchy, but the sky is clear, and there’s not so much noise, just the sound of the sea and the sweet birdsong. 

It’s not escaping, it’s resetting, like pressing ‘CTRL ALT DELETE’ on your system to restore default settings. Just a week away can remind of you of how we are designed to live, to thrive and to rest.

So why do you need me? 

You don’t, not really. You could do it yourself, but I hold the space and I create a structure around nature that’s conducive to health and healing.

Maybe I inspire you, maybe not.

Maybe I just help you remember who you are away from the noise and the layers of protection you built up after years in survival mode.

Maybe I don’t need to do much, except hold space for you.

For one thing I can offer is I that I have no expectations of you, except just to come and be you, and I will see you, hear you and feel you just as you are.

If you want to stay the whole day chilling in a hammock just enjoying the sounds of nature, that’s fully okay. In fact, it’s more than okay. The more you listen to your inner being and tune out the noise, the news, and the expectations, the more you freedom and ease you feel.

Of course if you want to join me in welcoming the sunrise, & seeing the sun set over the sea, I’ll be there. 

I’ll be there if you want to step into the clean Adriatic Sea and soak up the minerals and magic of these crystalline waters.

I’ll be there if you’re having a wobble and want to share with me all you’ve been carrying and holding for so long.

I’ll be there without judgment or expectation, just a constant heartbeat next to yours, reflecting the beauty in you right back to you.

I’m not sure I really got this fully before. I’m just holding space, nothing more, nothing less. Which is why this retreat is new for me too.

You join in with the group when you feel like it, you step away when you need it.

The time is yours. 

“No guru, no method, no teacher. Just you and I in nature”. 

Thats the Rewild Retreat. 

Back to Basics.

Back to You.
