  • Midweek Reset Day — Wed 15th April ’26

    Midweek Reset Day — Wed 15th April ’26

    Spring Chaffinch by Jon Lee

    Feel good in the wood with Charley and Nick

    Book your ticket

    Part of a new initiative to encourage everyone out into the woods for wellbeing and woodland skills, our “Feel Good in the Wood” sessions focus on both the practical and the mindful to help you find your best way to reset. Wherever you are with your week’s To Do list, this is a day to focus on looking after you.

    Pause, re-focus & recharge

    We’ll start the day with hot drinks and a mindful woodland wander with Charley. These events are led by the season, so each one is unique!

    Nick will then lead a Mindfulness activity designed to give you techniques that you can take home as part of your daily toolkit to pause and reset, wherever you are in your working week, and whatever that work looks like for you.

    A hearty and healthy vegetarian lunch will be provided. Let us know about any dietary requirements on booking and we’ll do our best to provide for you.

    Gathering around the campfire

    In the afternoon, we’ll teach you how to light a fire without matches, then spend some time gathered around a campfire. We’ll let you decide if this is time to chat, or if you would like to practice meditating through gazing at the flames.

    We’ll finish up the day with some gentle mindful movement. The aim is for you to leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated!

  • The Growth Experience Welcome Retreat — 20th to 22nd March ’26

    The Growth Experience Welcome Retreat — 20th to 22nd March ’26

    Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd March 2026.

    We’re delighted that Jannine Barron has chosen Hazel Hill Wood for the welcoming retreat for those who choose one of the in-person paths of her Growth Experience offering for personal and regenerative business growth. A regenerative business model that unites wisdom with action for small businesses.

    The ‘quiet beginning’ to a transformative nine-month journey with Jannine and a community of others sharing the experience, this retreat sets the foundation for everything to come. “Rooting your leadership in nature, presence and purpose”.

    “There is a quiet power in beginnings.
    A hush before the first step.
    A breath in the dark.”

    Full details, tiers, and the opportunity to sign up for updates and to apply are all here.

    Accommodation will be in our Oak House and Hideaway buildings, while the 70-acre woodland will act as “guide, teacher, and mirror, offering deep wisdom, ancient rhythms, and the quiet intelligence that helps us find our way.”

    We love that Jannine sees the wood as the additional facilitator and core member of the community that it is, and we hope this is the beginning of a wonderful journey for this 2026 Cohort.

    In Jannine’s words
    “Hazel Hill isn’t just where we gather. It’s our co-facilitator, our guide. Our grounding.

    At the woodland’s heart stands the Oak House, which will be our soulful, off-grid base. Hand-built from timber grown on-site, it invites us into a slower rhythm of living: grounded, communal, and nourishingly simple.

    You’ll sleep surrounded by forest. Wake with birdsong. Cook, eat, and reflect alongside others walking this shared path.

    Hazel Hill isn’t curated. It’s not polished.

    It’s an ecosystem where emergence and intuition guide the way.

    Not a venue, but a sanctuary.

    A living classroom for our deepest work.”

    Switch off from the world, tune in to the wood

    A hearty and healthy vegetarian lunch will be provided. Let us know about any dietary requirements on booking and we’ll do our best to provide for you.

  • A Den Building Special with Polly Whyte – Wed 18th Feb ’26

    A Den Building Special with Polly Whyte – Wed 18th Feb ’26

    A perfect way to get everyone back in the wood and moving! Polly is back in the wood helping families find their wild sides.

    Join us for a morning building dens in a beautiful ancient woodland. A morning session for families with children aged between 3 and 12 years*. 

    We will start by learning a couple of useful knots before splitting into groups to build dens. You can choose whether to build your den with sticks, tarpaulins or ropes or a mixture of all three! There’s lots of lovely wood to choose from around you on the woodland floor, so it’s a perfect excuse to explore, too.

    At the end of the session we will gather around a campfire to cook marshmallows.
