“Having recently returned from Luna Wilds, not only do I feel deeply nourished and nurtured from the outstanding yoga, the exquisite food and the general feeling of being really well looked after, but more than that, I came away feeling as though sprinkled in some kind of magical fairy dust, for what you have created at Luna Wilds is truly enchanting, it was like stepping into a world straight out of the pages of Alice in Wonderland, such a special place!”
— Jen (after joining our Relax and Restore weekend)
“Mike and Laura have created such a sweet little hideaway spot nestled in the sussex countryside, the perfect medicine to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with community and self. Every little detail has been taken care of, very grateful to have spent a weekend with you.
- Layla (after joining our Wild Creativity weekend)
“I really enjoyed my wild movement yoga retreat. The weather was variable, but the yoga and the food were both under cover, the activities fun, but challenging, and I met some lovely like minded people chatting round the fire..”

We will provide natural shower and bathing products as our drainage system requires no chemicals.
We run the whole site off solar power - phone charging is available.
Some Reminders…
Luna Wilds is in a rural location and comes with all the expected wildlife of the area - expect pheasants, creepy crawlies as well as some slightly more rare sightings!
There is long grass so ticks may be present - please stick to the paths where possible. Ground will be uneven in places- there will be recommendations of footwear and clothing in your confirmation email!
