Welcome to our 3rd Wild Eco Weekend Retreat!! Being held in honour of Plastic Free July 2022.
I am Amie and I run the social enterprise Slow Circular Earth UK in North Lincolnshire educating women on environmental issues, raising awareness for climate change and living a sustainable life. We are running a wild eco weekend retreat based in North Lincolnshire.
We will be having a wild camp out in our wild eco garden!! Join us for an eco adventure here at Slow Circular Earth HQ. You will need to bring your own tent and sleeping bags/beds etc. There is a small amount of room for car camping style vehicles, to be discussed prior to event booking please.
Hopefully we should be able to accommodate up to 15 of you lovely people. The weekend usually consists of a mixture of the following:
Friday...
* arrival * setting up camp * enjoy plant based meal * homemade wine tasting
Saturday... * light breakfast and smoothies * outdoor Hatha yoga and meditation (weather dependent) or in the village hall * eco meditation and vision board * prepare and eat sustainable lunch together * recycled fabric wreath making
* foraging (season dependent - garden and lane) * clothing repairs - bring your own
* prepare and eat sustainable evening meal together
* sunset walk * fire lighting with our fire pit - using flint and steel
Sunday... * light breakfast and smoothies * departure
Whatever happens it will be fun and filled with lots of laughter and holistic eco healing. Perhaps you may find yourself on your own eco mindset journey following this weekend retreat.
There is a small donation required to cover food, village hall and workshop resources. We will have a limit on how many people can take part - maximum total of 15. We believe we provide a fun filled weekend for a small amount of money as we think it is important to engage women in living more sustainable lives, learning by example and this is the most important part of our work as a non-profit organisation.
We will be camping, ideally as long as the weather is okay. We have a number of tents available and I know some of you may plan to bring your own tents. We have a back up plan for seriously bad weather but hopefully we wont need that plan activated!
You can arrive from 6pm on Friday 29th July and we will put the tents up together. We have access to 2/3 toilets close by and a shower over the weekend.
We will provide everything you will need for the workshops. As a suggestion you will need the following:
* towel
* tent (or sort sharing one with a friend)
* sleeping bag/pillow
* camping bed/mattress (we have some that can be borrowed on site)
* torch/light
* walking boots/trainers and good warm socks
* fleece/warm hooded tops - think layers * yoga mat and blanket * clothing that may need altering or repairing
If I think of anything else I will post on the Whatsapp page. You can join here:
Can you inform me of any dietary needs prior to the event. We are catering as freegan's with vegetarian and plant based meals being made as part of the retreat. The Friday night meal will be prepared and ready for when you arrive - likely a veggie chilli and jacket potatoes or vegan sausage cassoulet and mash. We will be getting our food as surplus food via FareShare and Olio scheme and you can find out more about this during your time here. Teas/coffees/fruit tea etc will all be available here with a selection of plant based milks.
All the activities we will be doing will mean that we will be leaving no trace and this goes the same for the campsite. We have a firepit and tripod on site for cooking and can use the facilities at the village hall for this too.
I am so looking forward to welcoming you all and can't wait to experience our third retreat with you lovely wild women!!
