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, afternoon tea and biscuits are provided.

We look forward to sharing Design With Nature with you.

With love,
Delyth & Sharon
