Change in Nature and Kindred Village are teaming up again to give mothers an incredible gift in 2026…
A deeply nourishing three day escape from caring responsibilities at a luxury retreat centre in Somerset.
You will be looked after in every way and guided through soulful activities — all in the company of a supportive, village-like community.
Mother Nature is a unique retreat designed exclusively for mothers of children aged 10 and under, who are navigating the twin trail of parenting and purpose-driven work.
If you are a mother — and a freelancer, founder, creative, leader or changemaker of any kind — this retreat is designed to refill your cup in the deepest possible way.
16 mothers joined us in 2025:
❈ 100% felt deeply nurtured
❈ 100% significantly improved wellbeing
❈ 100% gained new insights on mothering
❈ 100% built a supportive community
❈ 94% deepened connection with nature
❈ 100% returned home with a fuller cup
Why we’re offering this
Motherhood is one of the most profound thresholds we cross.
And for those of us who are also building businesses, pursuing creative work, leading teams, advocating for change, or holding meaningful roles in the world, the weight of responsibility can be immense.
In our modern, individualistic culture, mothers frequently navigate this journey without a village, without ritual, and without the deep support they deserve. The result is exhaustion, disconnection, and a feeling of being pulled in too many directions.
This retreat is for mothers who give so much — to their families, their work and to their communities — and need a place to come home to themselves again.
This retreat is for you if you:
Are mothering a child or children aged 10 and under
Are balancing parenting with meaningful work, leadership, creativity or community contribution
Often feel torn between your devotion to your children and your passion for your work or vocation
Feel stretched thin and long for space to rest and be held
Want to understand motherhood as a rite of passage
Crave more regenerative ways of working and living
Long to be witnessed by a circle of like-minded mothers who “get it”
If you’re yearning for a pause — a chance to return to yourself with a fuller cup — this is for you.
