unfurl to return
a day to move, nourish, soften and return to yourself as autumn settles in.
when? sunday 18th october 2026
time? 10.30am - 5.30pm
where? we are wild, darlington
as autumn settles in, we invite you to step away from the pace of everyday life and return to yourself.
unfurl to return is a nourishing day retreat created as a space to move, breathe, connect, rest and simply be. a chance to slow down, listen inward and settle into the quieter rhythm of the season.
we’ll begin by arriving together, with a fresh juice or seasonal health shot before gathering in circle and setting an intention for the day. from there, we’ll move into a full water mandala practice — an immersive, flowing sequence weaving together yin, vinyasa and yin with meditation and elemental breathwork. expect something fluid, grounding and energising, with space to explore movement, breath and connection.
after practice, we’ll come together over a balanced, nourishing lunch, taking time to pause, replenish and enjoy the simplicity of being together.
the afternoon invites a softer energy. we’ll move into yin and restorative practices, allowing the body to settle and the nervous system to soften, before being held in the deeply restful vibrations of a sound bath.
we’ll close our day together in circle, with an autumnal release ritual — a chance to reflect on what you’re ready to let go of, make space for what’s next, and honour the season we’re moving through.
there may be an afternoon treat along the way, because nourishment isn’t just about what’s on the plate.
this is a day to put down what you’ve been carrying, reconnect with yourself and return home feeling a little more grounded, nourished and spacious.
come as you are. leave a little more unfurled.

our setting
we’ll be gathering at we are wild, a beautiful walled garden nestled in the countryside of neasham, just outside darlington.
surrounded by nature and away from the busyness of everyday life, it’s a space created for workshops, gatherings and adventures — the perfect setting to step out of your usual routine and settle into a slower pace.
the garden gives us a peaceful, natural backdrop for our day together, with plenty of space to move, rest, connect and simply be. from our morning practice through to lunch, afternoon restoration and our closing ritual, the setting will invite us to reconnect with the rhythms of the season and with ourselves.
