Re-Root at Lime Wood
Just as Lime Wood is enveloped by and rooted in ancient forest, our weary souls and senses are (like it or not) rooted in nature. Humans are just not designed to function at full pelt, 24/7. Our minds and bodies pay the price.
We’ve listened to what our guests are looking for: lightly structured chill time and making the most of our calm, healing surroundings while, crucially, having some creative fun. So here’s a series of re-rooting retreats, events and workshops that tap into the remedial powers of the English countryside.

Join Lindsey from Dorset Forest Bathing for an early morning guided walk, celebrating the magic of the dawn chorus at its seasonal peak. Beginning at Herb House, this peaceful 7-9am experience invites you to slow down, listen, and reconnect with nature. The morning concludes with pastries and refreshments at Raw & Cured.
Thursday 7th May | Friday 12th June
