The retreat is designed to feel welcoming and supportive for solo participants.Is this a therapeutic or trauma-focused retreat?No. This is a nature-led space for rest, regulation, and reconnection ~ intentionally gentle, not designed for deep therapeutic processing.What Could Hold You Back“I can't justify the time away.”You're allowed two days. Your family, your work, your to-do list, none of it collapses because you stepped away. It'll likely still be there exactly as you left it. You being depleted doesn't actually serve anyone either.“It feels like a lot of money to spend on myself.”£350 for two nights, every meal, and every session. Think about what you've spent on things that gave you far less than a weekend of actually putting everything down.“I don't know anyone going.”Most women come alone. That's normal here, not the exception. You don't need to arrive knowing anyone, you just need to arrive.“I feel guilty taking time for me.”This is usually the loudest one, and the most worth questioning. You give to everyone else without a second thought. This is two days of giving something back to yourself, and you'll come home better able to give to everyone else too.“What if I can't switch off?”You don't have to switch off on arrival. Nobody does. The forest does that work slowly, over the weekend, without you forcing it.This Is Your InvitationThis midlife retreat for women in the UK isn't for everyone, and it doesn't need to be. It's for the women who are done holding everything together, who are ready to put it down for two days and remember what it feels like to breathe properly.You don't need to be ready in any particular way. You don't need to have it figured out. You just need to be willing to come.These retreats are offered as an invitation. They are held with care, simplicity, and respect for each person's own rhythm.Alchemy with Nature runs 2–4 October 2026, in a private temperate rainforest in the Rusland Valley, Lake District. £350 includes two nights, every meal, and every session. Maximum twelve women, with limited spaces remaining.If something in you is saying yes, don't wait for the perfect moment. There isn't one. There's just this one.I'd love to be with you in the forest this October.Love Delyth x - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/the-rusland-valley/alchemy-with-nature-womens-woodland-retreat-tickets/200030560314113 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, mental-health - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 350, max: 350, currency: GBP - **Ticket informations**: - ticket_1 — 350.00 GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: The Rusland Valley. - **state**: UK - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Lake District - **lat**: 54.5 - **long**: -3.25 - **full address**: The Lake District, London, United Kingdom, The Rusland Valley. ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Event Photo 1 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a84728970069.jpeg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 2 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a84727934be6.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 3 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a84698ee66ef.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 4 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a84696e7d8e0.jpeg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 5 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a84695fba253.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 6 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a8469564f8ec.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 7 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live6a84691dd3e60.jpg ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Alchemy with Nature Women s Woodland Retreat being held? - **A:** Alchemy with Nature Women s Woodland Retreat takes place on Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 04 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm at The Lake District, London, United Kingdom, The Rusland Valley.. - **Q**: Who is organizing Alchemy with Nature Women s Woodland Retreat? - **A:** Alchemy with Nature Women s Woodland Retreat is organized by Delyth Johnson. - **Q**: Where can I buy Alchemy with Nature Women s Woodland Retreat tickets? - **A:** Alchemy with Nature Women s Woodland Retreat, happening on Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm in The Rusland Valley., is available on AllEvents.
