About this Event

Men's Campfire - Day Retreat

Join us for a relaxing day retreat designed just for guys!

Escape the house, work, family, get out of your head and into the woods. Chill out and make new friends.

Gather around the fire and step away from the demands of everyday life. Our men's campfire retreat is a chance to slow down, switch off the noise, and reconnect with yourself, nature, and other like-minded men.

Beneath the trees and amongst the wildlife of Frlyands, the steady crackle of the fire creates a space for honest conversation, quiet reflection, and a renewed sense of purpose.

We'll do some woodland activities, nature connection, breathe deep in the fresh air, and embrace a simpler way of being. Whether you're sharing stories around the fire, walking through the forest, or taking time to think in silence, you'll find the space to clear your head, recharge your energy, and regain perspective.

Leave behind the pressures of daily life and return home feeling stronger, more grounded, and refreshed—carrying the resilience, clarity, and calm of the outdoors back into your everyday world.


Agenda
Our timetable will evolve nearer the time as we get closer to the big day
Walk up to site

Info: Gentle walk up the hill through the woods to our retreat camp at Heartwood keeping an eye out for rabbits, deer and birds of prey. We go at your pace. Approx 15 mins


Introductions and Coffee

Info: We'll gather at Heartwood, make introductions and have a hot drink around the campfire.


Introduction to Nature Connection

Info: As we start the day, we will do a gentle introduction to nature connection to get the most out of the day. Nothing too woo-woo!


Woodland Craft Activity

Info: Around the fire we'll learn a new basic woodland craft such as whittling or mallet making.


Lunch

Info: We'll cook a simple lunch on the campfire with dietary needs catered for. Everyone can get involved and you're welcome to bring your own food to cook too.


Nature Connection Walk

Info: There's a couple of woodland walks we can undertake including going across the lane to a nature reserve.
These walks aren’t about distance or pace—they’re about slowing down, tuning in, and fully experiencing the natural world.
At times, we may walk in silence, sharpening our senses and becoming more aware of the sounds, scents, and subtle movements around us. It’s an opportunity to disconnect from distractions and reconnect with nature, and yourself on a deeper level.


Free time or site work

Info: A chance to chill out, continue the conversation or do a bit of site maintenance such as wood chopping or hedging laying. Nothing too strenuous!


Woodland siesta, chill out or chat

Info: If you want, you can grab a yoga mat, find a quiet spot and relax under the trees, or we can continue the chat. We will keep the afternoon fairly fluid!
