Rewilded Retreats

Ok I think I’ve finally cracked it, the one to ween me off sourdough dependence! 🥳 I’ve been pondering for ages on a healthy mid week breakfast that isn’t porridge (can’t want to like it) or sugary shop-bought stuff. Has to be easy but mostly delicious, that I won’t crave something else and fill me up for hours. Ladies and gentlemen, I offer you my bang up new breakfast concoction, that is anti-inflammatory, high in fibre and full of antioxidants. And it tastes like ice-cream (spoiler alert: it’s not). Drum roll 🥁

Breakfast Superfood Sundae 🍧

Ingredients:
- Handful of organic jumbo oats (I used Pimhill Farm)
- Large spoonful of frozen organic blueberries
- Dollop of organic maple syrup (could be date or agave)
- Dollop of organic nut butter of your choosing (I used Biona mixed nut butter)
- Large glug of your chosen plant milk (I used Rude Health hazelnut milk)
- Large dollop of Oatly Oatgurt Greek Style yogurt
- Toasted organic pumpkin seeds

Method:
1. The night before, put your oats in a little jar or glass until it’s about 2/3 full and pour over the milk until they’re just covered. Add your blueberries and then cover. Put in the fridge and leave overnight
2. Lightly toast your pumpkin seeds in a stainless steel or ceramic pan (no oil, no PFAs). You may want to batch for tomorrow!
3. Remove your oats from the fridge. Add your glug of syrup, spoon of nut butter and then squidge the yoghurt on top to fill the cup. Sprinkle with seeds and you’re done.

The blueberries could be replaced with raspberries, blackberries, mango or whatever your heart desires. Coconut yoghurt or other seeds like sunflower could also work well if it grabs you. Experiment with quantities to taste 🧑‍🍳

Bon appetit 😋

I’m on holiday today. Mostly because it’s hot and I’ve put this hat on. Have I got work to do? Absolutely. Is everything perfect? Absolutely not. However I am relishing and delighting the ability to take laptop in the garden, walk barefoot on the grass, put ice and lemon in my water and grilled asparagus in my lunch. Because, I can and I deserve to indulge in these cheap-thrill forms of personal decadence. As someone who used to spend thousands taking big trips once or twice a year, this might not be the glitz and glamour of the Yucatan peninsula, but it is very accessible. This mindset can also be weaved around the workload, so long as I’m wearing this hat I believe. I’m going to have to steal myself for a cold swim and, hell, might even make a (palm heart) ceviche. What makes you feel like you’re on holiday? 🏝️

When was the last time you had a really good night’s sleep? Blissful, uninterrupted.. heaven. This is the time of year when the wheels can start to come off, if we don’t look after ourselves. It’s so important to take that bit of time for us, to recharge before we run the batteries down. When you book a Rewilded Retreats getaway you will be staying in a secluded 17th Century barn, surrounded by fields, serenaded by blackbirds’ chorus at dusk and owls to bid you a good night’s rest. In case you were looking for the best possible use of your spare holiday days, this is your calling. Go on and treat yourself to the luxurious indulgence of peaceful sleep.

Welcome to the snow, from our barn bedroom! ❄️ Much more entertaining than Christmas tele ads, and much easier on the wallet 📺 May we revel in her beauty, and respect her demands for a slower pace… who’s having a snow day?! 🥾

Red clover; the field is currently chocful of it. Did you know it’s also a highly mineralising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and purifies blood?

An amazing source of protein, magnesium,
calcium, chromium, phosphorus, amino acids, vit C and vit B, it supports the production of serotonin and dopamine, so will naturally boost your mood.

Red clover is probably best known for Its hormone balancing skills, often recommended for menopause and fertility support. But, it’s also good for lymph circulation, lungs, skin, joints and bones and nerves. Why wouldn’t you?

Today I am, lazily, adding some water to make a tea (sans teapot, shocking ☕️)

This is beautiful. An ode to the rebel-raising, defiantly resilient powerhouse that is the common Dandelion 🌱✨

Grounding. Ok sure easier to extoll the virtues on a beautiful day like today, but hear me out. If like me your week has been ‘highly charged’, it’s important to physically get down and get your bare feet on the grass. Why? Because much like a plug, our bodies have a positive and negative charge of ions. When we pick up too much positive charge (as is normal from electronic equipment and just about everything in modern day life) it can make us feel agitated without realising it. Much like the earth wire, when our feet come into contact with the soil and grass, we release the charge. This *could* look a lot like sunbathing (I’ll get onto that another day) and you’d be right, but taking even a few minutes out of the day to re-earth yourself might just give you the boost you need to focus and get through the day.

Proper carrots. They’re purple (not Dutch engineered variety), wonky as you like and will certainly not look perfect in the fridge for 8 weeks. Juicy peas fresh from the pod and raspberries growing wild in a world of their own. These guys don’t bear any resemblance to their supermarket counterparts that are kept in cold stores and ‘reawakened’ with chemicals to keep year round. When we eat local, seasonal, organic food, it’s full of essential minerals and nutrients from the soil like magnesium, calcium and potassium. All of which contribute to good gut and therefore brain health. That’s how magic they are. Local, organic veggies are the only kind you will be eating on the Rest & Reset retreat. Now booking for 8th September. Only 6 weeks away! Places still available, message me for further details or to look a discovery call. 🌱💖 #

Picture this, it’s September. Everyone is back after their summer holidays, full-tilt mode, hurtling towards end of the year. Deadlines are ‘locked’. It’s full on. Panic begins to set in. Will I even make it through to the mince pie season? We can all feel shattered and overcome by the volume of demands on us. Allow me to help. The Rest & Reset retreat offers the perfect opportunity to start the school year with your own pencils sharpened, with a clear direction and coping mechanisms in place that help you to keep hold of what matters. You. In this retreat we will dive into existing patterns and roadblocks that lead to stress and overwhelm. To find your source of inner resilience. Take time for yourself to ask the important questions, like what matters to me? Am I headed in the right direction? How can I be the best version of myself? And what lifestyle do I need to create to support it? In this retreat you will learn coaching and mindfulness based techniques for life, helping you create mental clarity, and navigate trickier times ahead. Connect with nature through foraging for wonderful medicinal herbs to nourish you inside and out. Choose to play with animals or take the plunge with some wild swimming. You’ll return with insights on how to go about your daily life with more purpose and direction, and new friends you haven’t met yet. You will be supported through exploring all of the above and more, meanwhile enjoying delicious home-cooked nutritious food and relaxing therapies. You will be restored and ready to take on anything.
