Reconnect & Restore:

A Nature Retreat for Introverted or neurodiverse; kind hearted Men

A Transformative 3 Day Experience in the Heart of North Yorkshire

​

For the Deep Thinkers, Quiet Leaders, Mindful Men

Are you craving a space where introversion is understood and celebrated?

Where deep thinking isn't just accepted – it's valued?

 

Join us for an immersive three day retreat designed specifically for introverted or neurodiverse men who seek meaningful connection, personal growth, and restoration through nature.

​

Why This Retreat?

Research shows that men like you (often labelled as introverted, quiet or non-alpha) often process experiences more deeply and are more sensitive to their environments than their extroverted counterparts.

 

This heightened awareness, while a strength, can make navigating today's fast-paced world particularly challenging. Studies indicate that 67% of introverted men report feeling overwhelmed by modern life's constant demands, yet only 23% take intentional steps toward self-care.

​​

It's worth noting that the men that find their way to the woods, to work with us, may have already learned strategies to mask your inner feelings and others may see you as confident and out-going. But the truth is inside you feel much different. 

​​

The Power of Nature for Mental Well-being

Set against the stunning backdrop of North Yorkshire's natural landscape, this retreat harnesses the scientifically-proven benefits of nature immersion and Where the Mind Grows unique essence of returning to your 'wild' and valuing your uniqueness.
