Brownsea Winter Retreat

Service Description

Start your winter swimming off in style on the idyllic and secluded Brownsea Island. Crisp autumn mornings, hearty nutritious vegetarian meals, fun dips and bracing nature walks to warm up with. The swims will be fun short swims, to encourage you to get used to the colder water in skins, with longer swims available for those already acclimatised or wanting to wear wetsuits. Our forest and beach school leader will take you on nature connection walks and activities to discover the unique flora and fauna of the island such as the red squirrels, who will be particularly active hording food for winter. Our fitness & wellbeing coach will lead sessions in yoga, walking Tai-Chi, meditation and breathwork. Activities which encourage you in different ways to calm your mind, heal your body and find your balance. The island is closed to the public, so this is a very special opportunity to explore all that Brownsea Island offers in the Autumn. The accommodation in the Bunkhouse is shared rooms with bunkbeds/single beds available. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and yoga mat. All food is provided for the weekend. We will embrace whatever Mother Nature throws at us this weekend, so expect, spontaneous swims, walks and wellbeing sessions with plenty of cake to be consumed at regular intervals.
