Nature Escapes Reviews 38

I keep returning to spend time with Fleur and Pete, because they help me find the awe in the ordinary. Recently returned from Fire in Winter weekend retreat at St Marks, Cautley, Cumbria, tried EcoNidra, Iyengar Yoga, reconnected with nature, old friends, met new ones. Luxuriated in cosy comfort, great food, love, laughter and log fires. Experienced wild weather and terrain with wild hearted guides and companions, nothing like it to fill up my empty cup and ignite the fire in my belly. Have already booked my next two adventures, can't wait to see what I'll learn. Dive in, you won't regret it 💚

Recently experienced a taster 90 minute session with Fleur. It was on zoom so bit different from in person but still really worthwhile. If you need permission to slow down and appreciate what’s on your doorstep then this is an ideal opportunity. Fleur was so calm and clear and certainly helped you focus on things you would not normally notice. A perfect opportunity to clear your mind and relax.

I joined Fleur and Pete to do some forest bathing yesterday in the beautiful grounds of Adlington Hall. I wasn’t exactly sure what this experience was going to look like,but Fleur and Pete both exude a calmness that puts you at ease. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny( if a bit chilly) morning to absorb our surroundings and take the time to appreciate the little things that might usually go unnoticed,movement,sounds,light etc
As our guides,Fleur and Pete were knowledgeable and encouraging. The three hour session passed quickly,but we were never rushed. I think it was a good reminder to allow yourself to take the time to enjoy what nature has to offer and what we can learn from it. Highly recommend🌳

We recently went on the Universe in Autumn weekend retreat and it was so much more than we expected. The weekend was full of walking, forest bathing, and star gazing, everything was planned and organised really well, even allowing for change in routes as required. The accommodation and hospitality was brilliant, nothing was too much, all dietary requirements were catered for and there was plenty of food too! Fleur and Pete made us feel very welcome, and so did the rest of the group, support was given where needed during the walks, it just felt like being around family, even though this was the first time meeting everyone. Thank you so much for this experience, we hope to join you again soon!

I have just returned from the very peaceful and rejuvenating “Universe in Autumn” weekend with Nature Escapes, held in the beautiful surroundings of the Northumberland National Park. The trip to the Kielder Observatory was amazing and walks led by Fleur and Peter in Kielder Forest and at Hadrians Wall were intertwined with opportunities to pause and appreciate the wonderful surroundings. Fleur expertly delivered introductory sessions to Forest Bathing during these walks, something which I am completely new to but thanks to the enjoyment of this weekend I would now like to experience further and so I will be booking onto more Nature Escapes weekends where Forest Bathing is the focus.
On a practical level the food and accommodation at Brown Rigg were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. I highly recommend Nature Escapes to anyone, individuals or couples, wanting to leave the mayhem of daily life behind for a short while to spend some time in, and appreciating nature.

An absolutely fantastic weekend spent in Northumberland with some great company. Pete and Fleur ensured that we were all well looked after, had a great time and that we had ever we needed. I highly recommend one of these weekends, and will definitely be looking to book another one soon.

Wonderful session in beautiful surroundings. The experience was really enjoyable and well delivered. I felt really relaxed and recharged afterwards.

A beautiful weekend that doesn’t just get you out into nature but gives you an experience of the world outside that is mindful, soothing, fun and seasonal. And if you like meeting people and are in need of some authentic conversation and time out from urban life then this is for you. Oh, and the toasted marshmallows over a fire pit under the stars are pretty fantastic…

It was an amazing experience. Beautiful nature, mindfulness sessions, really warm cozy atmosphere and total relax. Found at some point that I feel like I'm 10 years old and I'm on holidays at granny's house :D Nothing to care about - just look, feel, enjoy, chat and have fun and a plenty of your own space when you need it. Many thanks to Fleur and Pete, I hope to repeat that experience one day and highly recommend it to all nature and meditations fans.

The leaders Fleur and Pete are skilled in leading a profoundly deep and healing experience within nature. I would recommend this weekend to all seeking nature and like minded people to restore and connect to self and surroundings. Thank you

Fabulous weekend with everything planned meticulously and by instructors who know what they’re doing. Fleur and Pete make you feel very welcome and are very knowledgeable about their craft. I’ve learned some valuable skills to take back to every day life which will help me unwind and relax in unexpected situations. Definitely worth the 5 stars.
