Preparing for your Wild Reset retreat
Welcome!
As October gets closer, I’m getting more and more excited about all the magical things to come! Below you’ll find practical information that will help you feel ready and supported as we come together at 42 Acres this October.
The flow of each day
We’ll begin each morning with morning movement and meditation, enjoy nourishing meals together, and spend the days between workshops, time in nature, and restorative practices. Evenings will close gently with nidra and fireside connection.
On arrival, you’ll be greeted with drinks and snacks, and we’ll start our opening practice at 4.45pm.
It’s important to know that this is your retreat. You’re invited to dip in and out of sessions as you choose, and to go at your own pace. This freedom is an essential part of coming back into balance and supporting your nervous system regulation.

Torch (the site is majestically dark at night)

A book (there’s a full itinerary on offer, but if you are tired or feel like some quiet ‘me’ time in one of the gorgeous snugs, it might be nice to have a good read on hand)

Food & drink
Thank you for sharing your dietary needs when you completed the retreat booking form. The chefs at 42 Acres have embraced this and created a wonderful menu of fresh, nourishing meals for our weekend together. All food - breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner - is included. Of course, you're welcome to bring extra snacks if you want. It’s worth knowing that we’ll do a morning practice before breakfast each day, so if you need to eat first thing, bring a small snack to eat before morning practice. Breakfast will be served at approximately 9am each day. On drinks - coffee, teas, breakfast juices and drinking water are provided. If you’d like any other soft drinks, please bring these with you. Please also note that dairy and oat milk are provided. If you prefer any alternative milks, please bring some with you. If you’re flying in and this will be tricky, let me know and I will sort it out for you :)
Photography consent
Our team will be capturing some of the special moments during the retreat for use on social media and in future retreat promotion. At the start of the retreat, we’ll check in with everyone about this - if you prefer not to be photographed, we’ll ensure you’re positioned out of frame so you can still fully enjoy the retreat experience without being included in photos.
Sharing on socials
I love it when guests share their retreat experiences and reflections - it’s a wonderful way to inspire others, and it’s really helpful to me as a small business to help get the word out in an authentic way. If you do post on social media, please tag @roriyoga so I can see and share :) If you do share, please do so sensitively, keeping in mind the privacy and comfort of fellow guests who may not wish to appear in photos or videos.
Contact
If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact me directly. My mobile number and email address are in the ‘Important info’ email.
I really can’t wait to share this retreat with you all!

P.S. Found this page and think it sounds like your cup of tea, but missed out on a place?
Due to popular demand this year, I have decided to run this retreat twice in 2026 - one in May, one in October. You can find 2026 dates on this page :)
