🌲“We are gifts from the stars who have become Earth beings. Our responsibility is about having to learn how to have peace with Earth. We haven’t learned how to live with the Earth. We are still living on the Earth.” 🔥

An invitation from our lead facilitator
🍃 An Opportunity to Remember a Kincentric Way of Life 🍃
"I believe there’s a kind of homesickness many of us carry --
a quiet ache we can’t always name.
A longing not just for stillness, but for belonging.
Something our Indigenous brothers and sisters live in connection with every day.
Many of us are living with a kind of soul sickness,
which so often shows up as mental health struggles.
I believe this is because we’ve forgotten how to be in relationship with the natural world --
we no longer hear the vital conversation that’s always happening around us.
Here, we seek to remember.
This is not a space to learn something new --
but a space to remember the wisdom already within you, waiting to be reawakened.
Not a space for escape, but a space for returning — to what is truly Home.
At Wild Roots, we invite you to follow that call.
This is more than a retreat.
It’s a return to relationship — with the land, with your senses,
and with what is deeply and truly you.
Let the forest floor ground you.
Let birdsong, firelight, and starlight guide you.
Let the rivers speak to you.
Let your body remember how to feel the wild world again.
Together, we’ll gather around the fire, learn practical skills, share food and stories,
and reawaken a kinship with the more-than-human world — and each other.
— Katherine Jordan, Lead Facilitator

🌿 Food & Drink
All meals will be prepared over a BBQ, open fire, or camping burners — it’s back to basics!
To keep costs low, we’ll be using a bring-and-share food system. Everyone attending will be asked to contribute items from a shared food list, which will go into the community food pot.
(This will be shared evenly according to costs).
Meals will be cooked together, with different tribes taking turns to prepare meals each day, supported by our
camp chef, who will oversee cooking and coordination.
This will all be arranged after bookings are confirmed, so please make sure you're prepared to
purchase and bring food for the camp.
🚉 Travelling by public transport?
No problem — you’ll have the option to make a financial contribution in advance,
and we’ll source your food on your behalf.
Everyone is expected to be part of the cooking, preparation, and clean-up process.
Don’t worry — you don’t need to be a chef! Our team will guide you, and you'll work with your tribe to divide tasks in a way that suits your skills and comfort level.
You can purchase extra snacks at a small shop on site or at a nearby farm shop.
