WOMEN ONLY OFF-GRID NATURE RETREAT
Women’s Nature Retreat in Wales (Off-Grid Retreat Near Snowdonia)
Step away from everyday noise and reconnect with yourself on our small-group women’s nature retreat in North Wales. Set within the wild landscapes of Snowdonia, this off-grid retreat offers space to slow down, breathe deeply and rediscover a sense of calm through nature. Across a few gentle days, you’ll experience wild swimming, forest bathing, shared fires and quiet moments outdoors, all held within a supportive circle of women.
Many women arrive at a retreat unsure what to expect. Some worry they won’t be outdoorsy enough, others simply feel tired and ready for space away from everyday noise. A nature retreat isn’t about escaping life - it’s about slowing down enough to reconnect with it. No outdoor experience is needed, just a curiosity to rest, arrive as you are and be present in nature.
In today’s fast-paced world, we often find ourselves confined by routines, screens and cityscapes, yearning for something more real. This is an invitation to pause.
Our women’s nature retreat offers a rare chance to step away from busy routines and return to something simpler, time outdoors, meaningful connection and space to breathe. Through nature connection you’ll reconnect with yourself in a small, supportive group setting.
Here, you’ll experience the restorative power of living off-grid in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Step into a landscape of temperate forests, winding streams and mountainous landscapes. A nearby lake invite moments of rejuvenation. Take time to engage every sense, to wander alone in quiet reflection or share laughter and stories with like-minded women around a fire. This retreat invites you to step away from city life and return to simplicity: to nature, to community and give time for yourself.
Accommodation is simple, comfortable and intentionally connected to the natural surroundings. Offering different hand built communal structures, each one unique and created using sustainable materials. All designed to offer warmth, comfort and connection. A wood-fired hot tub is available on site, surrounded by trees and streams.
Together, we’ll explore new pathways and explore natural beauty.

TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THE CITY
GO TO NATURE
Landscape
Set within the historically rich county of Gwynedd, in the heart of Snowdonia. Mankind has left a mark here since Paleolithic times, it was the seat of power for many a Welsh prince and a king. This magical space was voted UK’s best natural building site. A sustainable approach to off-grid living. The site includes a wood-fired hot tub and cozy lodges. A fully equipped off-grid kitchen provides fresh spring water and compost toilets align with the site's low-impact ethos.
Completely off-grid, this space offers total privacy and immersion in nature.
Mornings for Relaxation, Days for Exploration, Nights for Reflection
This retreat is for nature connection and adventure, an opportunity to be yourself in a unique living space surrounded by ancient trees, streams and waterfalls. There are many pathways to explore and mountains in the horizon.
In the evenings, we may gather in the Roundhouse for a communal fire, a space for connection, music and shared experiences. Feel free to bring and share poetry, art, incense, chants or songs for sharing. This is a space for receiving and giving creative inspiration, fostering a sense of community while also honouring the need for connection to nature’s elements. Bring your instruments, creativity or any offerings you feel called to share. Spontaneous moments of creative expression are welcome. Nothing is forced, feel free to be.
Women only space
This retreat is a women-only space, created intentionally for those who are biologically female, are assigned female at birth and have lived experience as women. It includes wild swimming, food-fire hot tub and other deeply connecting experiences, where a sense of safety, security and understanding is vital. We honour and respect all gender identities and believe there is value in many kinds of healing spaces. This particular retreat is focused on nurturing a specific circle of shared feminine experience and connection. We trust that intention is received with care. Much gratitude.
Please be aware that there may be male volunteers (that work on-site) roaming the communal eating space or kitchen area on site, however, there will be plenty opportunities for exploration and freedom.
