Where - Kippford, Dumfries and Galloway
Cost - £300 (Accommodation not included — we’ve got great local options to recommend, see below)
​
This September, join us in one of Scotland’s most untamed corners for a weekend of wild adventure, deep connection, and elemental reset.
The Wild & Free Retreat is a collaboration between The Conscious Self and Wilderness Company — created to reconnect you with nature, your body, and the deep inner calm that so often gets drowned out in daily life.

Expect:
Cliff jumping into open water
Wood-fired island sauna sessions
Transformational breathwork
Grounding yoga
Guided abseiling over ancient cliffs
Nourishing beach BBQ
Moments of stillness, wildness & real connection
…and so much more — we’ve got a few surprises planned too
