The Autumn Nest
A Day of Yoga, Sauna & Wild Swimming with Chilly Dippers
Escape East London for a 7 hour countryside reset.
The Autumn Nest is a friendly and welcoming day retreat designed to help you ground down, connect to your body and offer yourself a chance to prioritise yourself during the autumn months. For this special autumn edition, The Nest Hackney is teaming up with the cold water swimming community Chilly Dippers to bring you a fully supported, nature-immersive experience. Hosted at the Knepp Estate, the beautiful re-wilding sanctuary in the heart of the Sussex countryside, this intimate gathering will whisk you out of London for a day of community and deep connection. From dynamic morning movement to the deep heat of a wood-fired sauna and the crisp, invigorating medicine of a guided wild swim, every element of this day is designed to nourish you from the inside out.
What's included
- Over 3 hours of yoga, breathwork and meditation
- Exclusive access to the wellbeing area of the Knepp Rewilding Estate
- Over 1 hour private wood-fired sauna session and expert guided wild swimming with Chilly Dippers
