Blossoming You with Wild Way RetreatsFor women in a tender space between change and becoming
Dates: Thursday 16th April to Sunday 19th April 2026
Location: Hazel Hill Woodland, Salisbury, SP5 1AU
New shoots are stirring beneath the woodland floor. A New Moon emerges in the darkness.
In this tender time of thresholds and potential, we invite you to join us for four days of slowing down—listening for what has ripened in the compost of your past, nurturing seeds that are waiting for rain and sunlight, and giving space to buds newly emerging.
Together we’ll lean into the companionship of trees, the grounding of soil, and the wisdom of stillness found in nature. We’ll move gently between solitude and shared exploration—exploring bodywork, dreaming, and conversation with the land.
Blossoming You is for any woman who feels she’s at a fork in the road, or at a threshold – because of menopause, loss, or other life-change. Are you seeking a space to rest into the rhythm of becoming? If this resonates deep inside your mind, heart, body and soul, then this offering is for you.
Andrea and I continue to journey towards, through and beyond our own experiences of change – embracing uncertainty, growing into new ways of being, leaning into the wisdom and delight offered by trees, animals and all the land.
We want to share and invite you to explore these spaces and uncover what’s alive in you.
You will be spending 4 days and 3 nights nurturing your own uniqueness, held gently by the rhythm of the beautiful woodland at Hazel Hill.
You will have support and space to listen to and seek your own wisdom - germinating insights that arrive and encourage you on your Soul’s journey.
Re-discovering your own blossoming-self is the theme of our Retreat: slowing down, and creating space for you to dream into beyond and connect deeply with the natural world around us. Our ancient ancestors knew how to listen to the whispers of the land and be open, and we’re passionate about returning to this lost wisdom.
We’ll be inviting you to explore your edges, focus on the threshold you may find yourself at, and take a deep but gentle dip into your passions, hopes and fears.
Our Wild Way Retreats are a held space for what is already emerging, and transforming in you as Woman on this land and in these times of great challenge and change. We offer a place where you can feed, water, and tend to your Soul’s growth.
We promise compassionate companionship, presence, support, and beautiful surroundings where the dance of change may seek you, as your soul’s voice emerges in its own timing.
‘Simply put, this retreat has enabled me to reclaim my power. It gave me the soft empowering space I needed to face my darkest fear and begin to move through it. Coming out of the retreat I have felt brave enough to make a huge life change that I didn’t think possible’ Holly, 2024

Meet your Retreat Guides
Andrea Hobbs: Experienced crafter-artist, Wild Therapist, Meditation Mind Calm Coach, Tarot and Oracle Card Guide.
At Blossoming You, Andrea tends the fertile meeting place between creativity, intuition, and the more-than-human world. With over four decades exploring alternative spiritual lineages, she walks with a grounded mysticism—one that trusts the Earth as teacher and imagination as bridge.
Her intuition opens doorways into the unseen dimensions of experience: the shimmer between stillness and inspiration, the moment when silence begins to sing. Andrea invites participants to explore creativity not as performance, but as listening—to the land, to the body, to the inner whispers of the soul.
Blending contemplative practice with artistic play, she helps you find balance between vision and embodiment, between wonder and presence. Under her guidance, transformation unfolds less as an event and more as a blossoming that knows its own timing.
You can encounter more of her work at www.andreahobbs.co.uk.
Lucy Furniss: Experienced Gestalt and Wild Therapist
At Blossoming You, Lucy walks alongside you as a companion at the edge of becoming. Drawing on her years of Gestalt practice and Wild Therapy, she helps participants listen to the subtle languages of body, land, and imagination—those quiet places where growth begins before it blooms.
Lucy weaves dialogue, movement, and nature-based ritual to invite psychological and ecological rewilding. Her guidance encourages you to meet the more-than-human world not as backdrop, but as co-facilitator and mirror—helping you sense what wants to awaken and what is ready to rest.
She holds a tender trust in the Earth’s capacity to teach and transform us, reminding each participant that blossoming isn’t about performance or perfection; it’s about remembering how to live in rhythm with the world that made us.
