About this Retreat
Your Guides
I believe in the healing, calming power of nature. I love being in, on or by the sea, reading lots of books, taking my morning coffee outside, campfires and planning retreats, adventures (and adventurous retreats). I am now based between North London and by the sea in the New Forest, where I grew up.
I completed my first training 200 hour vinyasa teacher training with Emily-Clare Hill and Michael James Wong at the Frame Academy in 2017.
I have since studied Yin & Ayurveda with The Yoga People, Assisting Techniques with Sunday School Yoga and trauma-informed yoga with Ourmala. I am a qualified BSUPA paddle board instructor and Level 2 SUPTA paddle board yoga teacher.
On The Wild Times retreats I love sharing the practice of yoga and any tools, techniques or little things that I have figured out along the way that can help others feel more connected to their bodies, to others and the world.
I also teach corporate and 1:1 yoga classes in-person in London or online. Drop me an email hello@thewildtimes.co or see more on my Zen with Jen yoga website here.
I lead and teach many of our Wild Times retreats, but these days you might find another trusted, wild teacher leading one of our retreats or away days too.
Details of this retreat
Our location, just two hours West of Stockholm, is breathtakingly raw, magical and wild.
Immerse yourself in nature, jump in the cold lake, gather around the bonfire, canoe, read, journal, nap or go for long walks in the mystical forest.
This place is a simple and stunning retreat venue, set on the most beautiful private misty lake, with a floating sauna, and an onsite library.
There is a group of volunteers that live on the land and help the management run everything behind the scenes of retreats, and this gives it a real sense of community living that always feel very special to drop into.
