This 3-day, 2-night Women’s Retreat offers a healing and gentle immersion into nature within a supportive environment, set in the stunning surroundings of Wasing’s Woodland. Accommodation is in cosy single or shared bell tents with airbeds provided, pitched in the heart of Wasing woodland.
The process offers women a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship dynamics, fostering freedom, transformation, and a sense of wholeness. A time of deep personal transformation, the retreat offers the opportunity to explore and understand patterns, let go of the past, experience ancestral healing, increase energy levels, improve sleep, enhance creativity, reclaim your power and feel more connected.
We will combine a range of healing practices, including breathwork, parts work, bi-lateral processing, bodywork, coaching, somatic healing, shamanic techniques, movement, and a fire ceremony. During the retreat, we will be holding an outdoor sauna and wild swims by the lake for the ultimate reset.
Rebecca Dennis and The Breathing Tree Team are joining together to create a safe, supportive and powerful healing space for women to connect, inspire and breathe together. All facilitators are experienced and highly skilled in a variety of fields including breathwork, trauma release, somatic and healing techniques.
Joining the Tuesday afternoon session will be Alex Bedoya. Alex is a Medicine woman and therapist from Ecuador with 25 years of experience working with indigenous elders from Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. This session will integrate ancestral healing, bioenergetic therapy, somatic practices, and shamanism to help individuals release physical, emotional, and spiritual blockages.
What You Can Expect:
This is an opportunity to explore the power of your breath and dive deep into understanding ingrained patterns, clearing obstacles, and releasing restrictions that hold you back from reaching your highest potential—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
During the retreat, Rebecca and the team will introduce self-enquiry topics which encourage a deeper self-awareness of who we are and inspire further consideration of who we aspire to be. These exercises are designed to complement breathwork to bring clarity of vision, remove obstacles and blockages and offer tools and insights you can take outside of the space and into your daily life.
Over the three days, we will offer a variety of breath, body and mind techniques whilst gaining an understanding of the nervous system’s intricate landscape. Learning how we can upgrade our breathing and mindset for optimum health. Providing a deep understanding of the impact the way we breathe has on every aspect of our lives – mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Integrative somatic breathwork is the bridge from our mind to our body and helps us be more open to listening to the messages and insights within. This can help release unhealthy breathing patterns, limiting beliefs, and physical and emotional tension, bringing about a deeper awareness of breathwork and release both physical and emotional tension from the body. This can dramatically shift the way you feel and bring higher states of awareness.

- Understanding how our breathing patterns affect life patterns

Accommodation & Surroundings
This retreat takes place in the stunning woodlands of Wasing Estate. You’ll be surrounded by nature with acres to explore. The eco Woodland venue is set in a leafy glade beneath wondrous towering trees and ancient woodland, with a stunning Ice Pond and views over the Parish Church and the manor house. Equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, a selection of wooden and temporary structures, fire pits, a collection of carved wooden seating, compost W.C.’s and outdoor showers. A haven for wildlife with seasonal blue bells, dragon flies, deer, foxgloves and ferns, it is home to many retreats, festivals and activities focussed on education and rejuvenation of the mind, body and soul.
All bell tents are single or shared occupancy, with some soft furnishings and an airbed. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.
A welcome letter and suggested kit list of what to bring will be provided at the point of booking.
Please note: Parts of the site are on uneven ground. Please contact us if you have physical health or mobility difficulties to make sure we can best accommodate your needs.
Our Food & Your Dietary Needs
In line with sustainable practices across the Estate, the retreat is fully catered with delicious home-cooked and locally sourced vegetarian food, as well as food foraged from the wild. Meals can be enjoyed in the covered dining area. There is a fire lit for the days and evenings.
Food Allergies & Intolerances
Please notify us well in advance of your stay if you have any food allergies or intolerances. You can submit this information to us in the Booking Form, which is sent via a link, found in your booking confirmation email.
Silence
Our retreat includes some periods of silence as a way of deepening into mindful awareness. If you are new to spending time in silence in the company of other people, it can feel awkward to begin with. However, people usually find this to be a useful experience and we encourage you to explore the silent periods with a spirit of openness and curiosity.
Sustainability
Wasing takes sustainability seriously. We use compost toilets and gas-powered showers in the woodland. The gardens are managed organically, and we only use biodegradable cleaning products. Please bring soaps and toiletries that are eco-friendly. We ask that any non-eco sunscreen be avoided due to an endangered dragonfly protected in the lakes we use for swimming.
