Soul Rewilding Harvest Weekend 25th - 27th September 2026

Join us this September for a restorative weekend of slowing down, reconnecting with nature and celebrating the ancient rhythms of harvest. In a world that often leaves us feeling hurried, disconnected and overwhelmed by the climate and nature crisis, this weekend offers a balm. A chance to spend time with nature, with each other, and to explore the wisdom of gratitude and community. We’ll be at Hilfield Friary, a Franciscan community set amidst meadows, woods and farmland in the beautiful Dorset countryside. It offers a peaceful, welcoming space where contemplation, hospitality and care for nature are woven into daily life. During the weekend we’ll share: Guided walks exploring Hilfield's biodiversity and land restoration work Guided sessions on foraging and animal tracking Practical harvest activities and seasonal tasks preserving, bread baking and harvesting from the Friary kitchen garden Nature knowledge and creative skills A campfire evening evening with stories, poetry and music A joyful Harvest supper celebrating nature’s gifts and abundance Time for reflection inspired by eco spirituality Gentle conversations about living faithfully and hopefully in an age of ecological uncertainty, exploring how gratitude and community can become powerful responses to the challenges we face.
