SUMMARY:Wild Circle
DESCRIPTION:Wild Circle is a women’s group in nature -women sharing honest conversation around a fire\, in a beautiful garden setting.\nNo pressure or expectation\, just a warm welcome and a gentle invitation to take a pause from everyday life and create a little breathing space. \n“Tara made me feel very welcome and relaxed\, I felt completely at ease. I would highly recommend.” -Jo- \n“It was just what I wanted\, a real ‘firebreak’ in a busy life. Thank you for allowing us to develop what we did in our own way\, whilst gently guiding and holding the session. I think the choice to stay in the ’embrace’ of the wooden structure worked well\, and I found the time by the fire warming in body and spirit. And great cake too.” -Beverly- \nFridays 10am – 11:30am\, monthly at Vallis Farm

SUMMARY:Well Women Retreat Day
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to nourish yourself with gentle meditative movement and deep relaxation\, nature connection\, community\, cold water immersion & sauna therapy and a lovely lunch in the farmhouse dining room at Vallis Farm\, catered with homegrown herbs and vegetables.\nGift yourself this time and space to reset\, rediscover and revitalise yourself. \nHarriet and Tara have been hosting these days for women for several years now and they are such a joy. It’s a real opportunity to be guided into a place of deep rest and relaxation\, a chance to pause and switch off from the chaos of everyday life. We’re extra excited about this May day as the weather and the water will be warmer and will support a more gentle introduction to wild swimming than our previous winter dates – although we will of course have the sauna on! Our venue\, Vallis Farm will be bursting into bloom as well\, so a real balm for the soul on all levels.\nLeave feeling more grounded\, spacious and joyful.\nTara & Harriet xx

SUMMARY:Spring Reading Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join us this spring for our first reading retreat in the gorgeous setting of Vallis Farm in Somerset. \nThis isn’t a traditional retreat full of activities\, but rather a morning simply spent with other book lovers reading together. Slow down\, take a moment with a book you love and enjoy a morning with other people who can’t imagine a better way to spend a couple of hours. \nWhether you come on your own or with a friend\, you’ll leave with a sense of relaxation that can only come from a few hours offline\, outside and with others who are similarly losing themselves in imaginary worlds. \nThis reading retreat offers: \n– A digital detox (your phone stays in your pocket or bag) \n– A chance to read uninterrupted\, in a cosy setting \n– A way to be with others\, to get out of the house and take a break from work \n– A moment to rest if you’re feeling burnt out\, stressed or overwhelmed \nWhat to bring: \n– A book (or two) you’d love to read \n– Something to sit on (a cushion\, blanket\, or folding chair) \n– Weather-appropriate clothing (if its rainy we’ll get cosy in the farmhouse\, if the sun is shining\, we’ll spread out across the farm) \nWe’ll take care of the rest — including a few small\, thoughtful touches to make the morning feel quietly magical. \nReading isn’t just one of our favourite ways to spend time. It’s also proven to: \n– Lower stress levels and heart rate \n– Improve attention span and memory \n– Enhance empathy and emotional resilience \n– Offer our brains a deep\, restorative form of rest \nWhen we read in community\, we also experience the benefits of shared presence\, which also supports our mental wellbeing. \nThis event is part of our wider mission at If Lost Start Here to help people better connect\, with themselves\, others and the world around them. \nReady to book your place? Reserve Your Spot Now \nThis event takes place on Vallis Farm’s Community Day. If you’re a member\, you can get access to the sauna and natural swimming pool. 10% discount for members. \nYou can also become a Member and take advantage of these benefits here. \nWe want this to be accessible. If price is a barrier\, get in touch — we’ll always try to make space

SUMMARY:Wet\, Wet\, Wet: Beaver and Human Wetlands of Heal Somerset
DESCRIPTION:Discover how humans and beavers are joining forces to restore vibrant wetland ecosystems at Heal Somerset. On this guided walk and talk with rewilding ranger Daniel Hill\, you will experience first-hand these developing wetlands and learn how dams\, ponds\, scrapes and more can shape water movement\, biodiversity\, and habitat recovery. Together you will explore how beaver activity and human intervention can complement each other to create healthier habitats\, cleaner water\, and climate-resilient ecosystems. \nAbout Daniel Hill \nAs the Rewilding Ranger at Heal Somerset\, Dan manages the site’s monitoring and land management programs. You can find him surveying for signs of beavers\, co-ordinating volunteer work parties\, or working with partners to deliver the hydrological restoration plan\, amongst a huge variety of other tasks. Dan’s passion for nature was sparked as a child growing up on an organic small holding in rural south Wales watching red kites soar above. His love of rewilding developed through volunteering with the RSPB on the Somerset Levels after completing a degree in Mathematical Sciences.
