submerged in nature

Back by popular demand this will be our 4th annual Summer retreat! Staying in gorgeous yurts hidden in the Wye Valley, our site offers tranquility and fresh air that gives space to process and unwind. Our intention is that you step out of the yurt and into nature from the moment you wake up. Nature has a power to hold us so deeply, adding richness to the weekend.

Kutumba means family, and we are all about community and coming together to celebrate, nourish and rest, tapping in to what you need from your time on retreat.

Over 4 days, we offer an exploration into the subtle body with a well-rounded exploration of movement and yogic practices, holding a compassionate environment to simply come and be as you are.

‘Through yoga, movement, art, food, music - whatever lights you up, we believe the more you feed your soul, the more you find your soul tribe.​’

Our workshops aim to connect you deeper to your spirit and inner world. To help strengthen the connection to your wisdom body, learning to listen, trust your intuition, what inspires you and lights your inner fire.

Our food is made with love. Every meal is carefully considered to nourish, nurture and inspire, complimenting the days activities. Warming your heart and belly with a vibrant, delicious and seasonal Summer menu and making the most of what the Summer season has to offer. Expect colour, texture and flavour that you won’t forget. Feel comforted by our delicious menu whilst dazzled with a sense of adventure!

About Kutumba

Seanie & Shell met through the Bristol yoga community and connected whilst teaching yoga at festival together. They realised pretty quickly that they had the same drive to create a retreat space for bringing people together and Kutumba was born! Kutumba is the sanskrit for family.

Seanie, artist and Mother of 2, holds the yoga space with her warm, nurturing Earth energy. Inviting you to connect to ground and go deeper if you wish, she will be guiding you through intuitive, breath led, embodied practices of yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, mantra, dance and chanting. Teaching in Bristol, Seanie is rooted in the teachings, wisdom and community of Yogasara Studio and also supports the 'Bristol Yoga Roots Project' who bring socially inclusive and trauma informed classes to communities across the city.

Shell, amateur acrobat, handstander, yoga practitioner and chef will be in the kitchen letting her infectious creativity run wild with the vibrant produce that Summer has to offer. Yoga plays a huge part in the kitchen as well as on mat as Shell loves to learn about the wisdom of Ayurveda and how to heal the body with food. Shell will often balance her body with food and goes deeper into cleanse twice a year to learn more about herself and what food can teach us about ourselves.

Balancing the elements within us and in our environment can help bring harmony to our body and lives, and this is what Kutumba brings to you. Their unique journeys and gifts that embrace all the elements create a well-rounded experience of embodiment and connection.
