About

Design With Nature is a one-day immersive retreat for those who long to create a home that feels alive, grounding, and deeply personal - not driven by trends or external validation, but shaped by lived experience and a genuine connection to the natural world.

Set at Rydal Hall in the Lake District, this retreat invites you to step away from screens and into the steady, soul-soothing rhythms of nature - where clarity returns, creativity softens, and your inner voice can finally be heard.

This retreat is for you if…

- You crave peace, quiet, and solace in nature

- You feel overwhelmed by design choices and tired of trends being spoon-fed to you

- You long for a deeper connection to your home and the things you fill it with

- You sense that your environment affects your wellbeing and want to design in a way that heals, not harms

- You want a home that truly reflects you and your family — not a version curated for others

- You feel disconnected in an increasingly digital world

If reading this brings a soft exhale, your body already knows the answer.


The Experience

Design With Nature gently weaves together two elements:

- A guided nature connection experience
- A biophilic interior design workshop

Your day will unfold slowly and intentionally, allowing your nervous system to settle and your senses to awaken.
This is not a rushed schedule or information-heavy workshop. It is spacious, grounded, and deeply human.

You will experience.

- The quiet surrender that happens when busy minds dissolve and nature’s voice can be heard

- Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) — a guided immersion into the wisdom of the woodland

- A sensory opening that allows creativity to emerge without force

- A sense of being held — by the landscape, the pace, and the shared experience

What You Will Learn.

You will be guided to:

- Unearth your inner creative voice through direct connection with nature

- Understand the principles of biophilic design and why they matter for health and wellbeing

- Collect “natural data” from your own lived, sensory experience — not from trends or social media

- Build a personal design vision rooted in feeling, memory, and connection

- Translate that vision into considered, intentional design choices for your home

You will leave with clarity, confidence, and a grounded framework for creating a home that supports how you truly live.

Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve depth, presence, and intimacy.

Please bring your own lunch or lunch is available at the Cafe.
Tea/coffee and biscuits served mid-afternoon.

We look forward to sharing Design With Nature with you.

With love,
Delyth & Sharon
