SPIRIT WILDEYE

OFF-GRID CAMPING ADVENTURE IN WALES

A wild retreat for women in 200 acres of stunning Welsh landscape. This off-grid camping experience is an opportunity to reconnect & reignite a sense of adventure. 

​

Many of us these days seek a sense of community and time spent in wild places, but may not have the opportunity to travel, wild camp or the right to roam. This experience will provide nature connection, a sense of adventure, a taste of an off-grid lifestyle and time spent camping in an area of outstanding natural beauty.  

​

Bring personal tents and camping equipment with you for this adventure. Get ready to enter a wild & wonderful valley. Here you're stepping out of the comfort zone. Personal growth, exploration & retreat go hand in hand with living close to the earth in its raw & natural beauty. Come and connect to these wild lands; to mother nature's elements. Nature is blessed in hopeful mornings, where waters run free and fire light burns bright in evenings under starry night skies. 

​

Relax by the riverside, go on walkabouts; explore surrounding hills, waterfalls, rock gorges & plunge pools. Find the time to bathe all your senses, alone in nature.

On site, you'll have access to communal structures. These are sheltered spaces to use at your own free will. There's a wood-fired sauna and a waterfall plunge pool nearby. 

 

We'll have access to a large Roundhouse, here we will meet up for healing circles or musical jams. There's also a main communal eating/kitchen space, to connect with other guests during meal times. You'll also have access to the Women's Lodge. A smaller Roundhouse to relax & meet up in.

​

There will be an optional guided foraging walk, to learn more about the wild plants in the lands & activities to take part in. However, these are not conditional so you are free to be. There will be plenty of opportunities for solitude, to explore, relax or socialise with others in communal spaces. 

An opportunity to reconnect with nature, 
each other and yourself.
