“If we surrender to earth’s intelligence we rise up rooted, like trees.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
Join me as we step away from the noise of daily life and immerse ourselves in days of seasonal reflection, nourishment, rest and renewal.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down your mind and body, replenish your inner reserves, and reconnect with a sense of peace and clarity in the heart of nature.
This is for you if:
You’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply craving a pause.
You’re ready to step away from the demands of daily life and give yourself permission to rest.
You long to reconnect with your inner wisdom, to time in nature and to return home revitalised and realigned.
“Laurie is an extraordinary guide. Her presence is powerful yet gentle, and the way she holds space in group sessions is truly magical. In her circles, you witness the depth of human emotion without judgment - you see people’s love, pain, and truth, and in doing so, begin to see your own. She cultivates an atmosphere of profound safety, where transformation naturally unfolds.”

What You Can Expect
Gentle, Restorative Rhythm
Each day is designed to help you unwind and reconnect. Through guided, nature based, meditation, mindful movement, and simple yet profound practices, you’ll find space to soften your nervous system and return to a grounded state of being.
Time for Reflection & Introspection
Alongside our group sessions, you’ll have plenty of quiet time to journal, rest, or simply walk in nature. This is your opportunity to listen deeply to yourself and receive clarity without distraction.
Nourishing Food
Enjoy wholesome, lovingly prepared meals that support your body’s natural ability to restore and replenish. We focus on simple, seasonal ingredients to leave you feeling light yet nourished.
Connection & Community
While this retreat honours your need for solitude, it also offers a safe, supportive space to share insights with like-minded souls. Many find that being witnessed in their process amplifies their transformation.
“Laurie has crafted something truly special, a journey that deeply connects you to yourself and the natural world around you. The way she weaves in the seasons and helps you find guidance in nature for your own reflection is remarkable. I'm incredibly grateful for this invaluable experience.”

A Personalised 1:1 Session with Laurie

This is a chance to receive focused, individual support tailored to your unique needs - whether you’re seeking clarity, release, or deeper integration of what arises during the retreat. These sessions offer a safe, compassionate space for profound inner work and personal insight, amplifying the impact of your time here and beyond.
"The experience of working 1:1 with Laurie was transformational. An unexpected journey and one I feel truly blessed to have been on with her. Laurie creates a safe and expansive space for you to explore yourself, your deep seated fears and your true desires. I am so unbelievably grateful for her work and this gift."

Wakelyns Agroforestry Farm
The retreat will happen at the stunning Wakelyns Farm in Suffolk. We will stay in the farm’s 16th Century, Grade II listed building - a classic Suffolk longhouse arranged over three floors, with the oldest part of the house dating back around 500 years. Each shared, twin room is beautifully arranged with its own bathroom. We will be nourished with breakfast, lunch and dinner with food from land and nearby. The farm itself is set in 23 hectares of land and is surrounded by the wild countryside of Suffolk. We will spend much time outside on the land and perhaps even take a dip in the nearby sea.

FAQs
Is this for me? If you want to retreat from the business of everyday life, take some time to reconnect with yourself in deeply healing nature and commune with like minded individuals - then yes, this is for you. If you feel the calling, don’t hesitate, you have come here for a reason.
How many people will be joining? Places are limited. I am only opening this up to 10 people so we form a deliberately intimate group.
Is there an age minimum? 21+
I can’t pay all the money upfront, are there payment plans available? Absolutely. A deposit will be required upon signing up to secure your place but the remainder of the payment can be scheduled to land over 1 - 2 payments. Please don’t let finances be a barrier. Email me on info@laurienouchka.com and we can work out a plan that suits you, no questions asked.
Who is eligible for the subsidised place? This option is provided for 1 - 2 people who are on a lower income and would struggle to meet the full payment. The full payment option covers all the costs and my time to support your involvement on the retreat. If you feel this is too much of a financial stretch for you then you are welcome to apply for the subsidised rate. I encourage you not to let your finances be a barrier to joining.
I want to know more before I sign up, is this possible? Absolutely, just email me info@laurienouchka.com to book in for a free discovery call where we can meet one another and I can answer any remaining questions you might have.
