Chill in the woods
Come and join a unique and unusual summer solstice retreat, deep in the woods on the borders of the Brecon Beacons. A chance to meet and connect with others - with time and space to explore, to work with your hands, stare into the fire; to watch the sun rise; to talk, laugh and chill.
Our suggested plan for each day is on the right side of this page. We aim to include some elements of green woodworking - whittling and making simple things.
Walks in the local hills, watching the river flow, or paddling the site's small lake are all options.
Time to gather wood, prepare the fire and get it going is an important part of each day. Then we can enjoy the warmth and flames - with music, with conversation, or just the sound of nature.

Everything is flexible - the great thing about our small group sizes is we really can fit the programme to suit what we want to do. No need to get up at the crack of dawn if you don't want to.
You can sign up for a single day or make a weekend of it, allowing more time to unwind, connect and chill - and, of course, whittle, walk and stare into the fire.
For accommodation, there are lots of lovely B&Bs and hotels in the area. Of course, you're welcome to camp in the woods, but the facilities are pretty basic.)
