Framed by moorlands and meadows, head to the English countryside to let go of your old, compromised self and learn new skills to promote a wild, connected and empowered version of you on the Rewilding at English Historic Estate Retreat.
In an exclusive partnership with Balance Holidays, who will welcome Tony Riddle as the leading expert on this programme. After a year of challenge and familiar surroundings, this special experience will bind the values of returning to the wild-nature to unlock your true potential. Rediscovering a naturally restful and happy state, immersed in true wilderness. That will also provide time and space for the mind to roam as far as the eyes can go.
Begin by dialling down negative emotions, ready to overcome personal challenges and enrich the connection to yourself and others in an Opening Fire Ceremony. A mixture of practices infused with a poetic expression of sounds created by our voices, leading us to heightened self-expression and creativity. In this programme, the key focus will be correcting natural form and posture, as well as igniting the excitement of being in the company of nature and forging new friendships. Through a series of nature-immersive activities, Tony will be guiding individuals to explore a dynamic range of functional and engaging movements. These include woodland walks, runs, wild swimming, forest bathing and tree climbing. Rest time is equally as important. Generously spaced between activities and outdoor-adventures, take a nap beneath the trees or go on a gentle stroll for some personal downtime.
For a complete and authentic back-to-nature break, learn to switch between different states of waking consciousness in Down Regulating Breath and Transformational Breath-work workshops. A naturally instinctive and influential function to help us recalibrate, reset and find alignment in the present and day-to-day living. A Sound Healing Session is scheduled on a separate evening to further encourage introspection and alignment with your true core being. Come together to reflect, offer gratitude and set intentions in a Closing Fire Ceremony.
Take this opportunity to also address compromised technology and food consumption patterns on this retreat. Each day, be presented with healthy, gourmet meals using locally sourced ingredients, specially designed by Balance Holidays together with Tony’s input. The use of artificial light will be kept to a minimum throughout this retreat, allowing our bodies to synchronise with natural light, limiting the disruption to our circadian rhythms and allowing deep nourishing sleep.
Sitting discreetly amongst 3,000 acres of land, for the very first time, Broughton Hall Estate will open its doors to hold a retreat. Attending guests will also have exclusive access to the newly furbished Avalon Wellbeing Centre, where some of the programme’s scheduled activities will be held. Both the estate and Avalon Wellbeing Centre will be reserved for exclusive use by attending guests across the full duration of the retreat.

Expert
Having been there and experienced the feeling of existing in a perpetual state of ‘making-do’, Tony Riddle strives to help individuals reclaim a sense of oneness with themselves and Mother Nature. His philosophy is anchored in the belief that we are each powerful human beings, in possession of everything to become the change we desire and to alter our current state of mind. His classes and workshops are built around the importance of nature because he believes, if we recognise that nature is missing from our lives, we can reconnect with it, fall back in love with it, and in doing so, enter a profound state of wellbeing. We are innately wild, connected and empowered beings. It’s time to rediscover your Human potential!
