Nature Spirit Yoga Retreat - Wales 9 - 12th May 2025 Location: Cardigan, SA43, UK
Welcome to the Nature Spirit Yoga Retreat – a transformative experience set amidst the wild woodlands and stunning coastline of Wales. This retreat invites you to reconnect with the earth, embracing the purity of fresh air, ancient trees and the rhythm of the wild ocean. Together, we will honour the deep wisdom of nature, awakening the spirit within that thrives in harmony with the land, water, air, fire and space. Through yoga, meditation, somatic exploration, journalling and sacred activation, you’ll rediscover balance, serenity and the timeless connection to the woodland spirit that lives within us all. Let the natural lands guide you back to your true Nature Spirit.
By discovering this page, you are being called deeper to the Nature Spirit Retreat, an invitation to reconnect with something magical, wild and timeless within yourself. This is more than just a retreat, it’s a journey to weave consciousness with the rhythms of nature and your inner world, inviting you to step into the alchemy of your most authentic expression.
Through the practices of embodied movement, you’ll awaken your body’s innate wisdom. In moments of meditation and breathwork, you’ll explore the depths of your soul, while voice activation and the vibrational power of alchemy singing bowls will unleash the truth of your voice. As we embark on nature quests, the wild woodlands and coastline of Wales will guide you deeper into harmony with the earth. Plant allies will whisper you back to your natural codes of creation. Together, we’ll rewild our spirits through feminine empowerment practices, swimming in the wild ocean, eating natural foods from the earth and ultimately connecting you to the flowing, limitless energy of life.
At the Nature Spirit Retreat, you will reclaim the magic within, aligning body mind and spirit as you weave consciousness back to your natural state of being: wild, free and fully participating in your life. This is your time to rediscover your true essence and embody the beauty of your inner alchemy.

Please Note:
- While this work may have extremely therapeutic benefits, this is not supposed to be offered instead of, or as a replacement to therapy. If you are seeking therapy then we encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. If you are experiencing significant health challenges please contact us in advance so that we can have a conversation about whether this retreat is right for you at this time.
- There is very little phone reception and extremely limited WiFi at the venue. We encourage you to take the opportunity to disconnect from the outside world with a digital detox and to fully immerse yourself in nature. Using your phone for photos if necessary is your choice.
- Although this venue is very special, it is not a five-star luxury retreat and will be rustic, wild, outside and close to nature. You will have everything you need, but the venue is minimalist. The facilities are all shared and community living is encouraged. Please prepare your expectations accordingly.
The Venue:
Our home for the weekend is Felinganol forest retreat and studio. Nestled in the trees close to the wild Pembrokeshire coastal path it’s located amongst stunning untouched beaches, valleys and forestlands.
The accommodation in hand built wooden cabins offers quiet seclusion, close to nature, while the old stone house provides a warm communal kitchen and other facilities. This is a simple, rustic and wild retreat and the facilities reflect this. All cabins are within a few yards of flushing or compost toilets and there are communal showers on site. The cabins have electricity, lamps, heaters and beautiful views.
A deep sense of presence resonates through Feliganol, as herons nest in the Mwldan river flowing through, owls calling at dusk, fire-flickering as the stars spread across the sky above us. The round, pillared studio is a deeply nurturing place to move, practise or work, built entirely by hand from natural materials resourced on site or locally has underfloor heating and a wood burning stove. The simplicity of natural beauty is recaptured in ourselves when we gather here.
Food:
All meals are included in the cost of retreat and please know that – you will be fed well!
We will be bringing you a plant based and locally sourced menu packed full of seasonal and delicious veggies, grains and pulses.
