Design With Nature Day Retreat - Winter
Location
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,
Sharon and Delyth x
