Reconnect to Nature & Rewild Your Soul
7th or 14th June or 5th July 2025
“Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” – Mary Oliver
Poet Mary Oliver’s instruction is the inspiration for this immersive and restorative day on our dynamic, regenerative, organic & nature-based farm, enhancing your connection with the natural world, farming, food, health and the nature of your soul.
Whether you are a seasoned nature buff or a novice welly wearer, join us to… walk, talk, listen, learn, eat, meet, make, meditate, watch, contemplate & connect.
“A joy from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.”
“Thank you for opening my eyes – it has changed my world forever, for the better.”
The richness of Haddon Copse Farm supports both a working, productive farm and an immensely biodiverse landscape. The lives of poultry, cattle, sheep and pigs entwine with barn owls, nightingales, orchids and bees across our pasture, orchards and woodland.
“A gorgeous day out as well as a huge life lesson – a priviledge and a joy to be here!”
“I was reminded of very young feelings of joy about being in the natural world – food for the soul that will stay with me.”
Throughout the day you will experience:
- led nature walks through both our wild & productive land
- guided observation of the lives of animals, plants, birds, butterflies & bees
- supported meditation, deepening your connection to the natural world
- time making medicine from plants we pick
- solo exploration of your inherent kinship with the more-than-human world
- opportunities to absorb the health & vitality of the land
- chance to sink into a new relationship with food, farming, wildlfe and the nature of your soul.
- fabulous food, farmed, foraged & prepared by us
- possibility of a wild swim in our wildlife pond!
“This day gave me inspiration and room to breathe, a connection with my childhood self and, of course, with nature.”
“It felt that it was about being part of everything – about relationship and kindness between all beings.”

Haddon Copse Farm is the culmination of a 20 year journey which began on the beaches of Greece’s Pelloponese peninsular. There, we began to resonate with the seasonal and daily rythmns of the moon, the stars and the tides. This reawakened deep and profound childhood memories of nature walks, birdwatching and rural life on the traditional farms of family and friends. Returning to England these strands of interest began to twine together with existing knowledge and experince of working with plants as medicine. Through our joint ventures of running a natural health business, starting a small organic farm and training in eco-therapy we deepened our understanding of human nutrition, regenerative organic farming and the impact of our relationship with the more-than-human world on our health and wellbeing. Over the last 11 years this has become our passion and our life’s work. As we farm our land and livestock to produce healthy, vital and sustainable food, we dedicate ourselves to sharing it with every other inhabitant of this small patch of Dorset – from the mycorrhizal fungi to the magnificent oaks.
Our relationship with the more than human guides our daily lives. It is now time to share this rich vision with others and this day invites you to step in to that world with us.
