When creating our events programme it felt really important to have a moment that celebrates the mycelium surrounding Bio-Leadership. The Wild Camp provides that moment out in nature, where stories can unfurl and connections be strengthened - in many ways it’s completely emergent to what folks want to bring, we know we need lots more spaces like this out in nature. Our intention is that the Wild Camp is a place where we come together to play, relax and reconnect with nature. We invite our friends and partners to come, rest and have fun together. It is an open space as part retreat, part celebration, part working getaway where we meet in the wild, making fires, stepping back to explore work, share questions and stories, eat together and connect with the forest.
What to expect?
We want our special guests to feel at home. The gathering is a 2.5 days lightly structured and completely flexible, where we will allow time to meet and rest, but also opportunities to share our inquiries for our work within a community of people trying to make a positive shift for the planet.
There will be time for wild swimming, sauna, games in the forest and open spaces to create art, share and strengthen relationships that can help your work or enquiries.
The team will organise the meals, you just need to bring the equipment for camping, be it in a tent, bivi, van or hammock.

Cost:
Our intention of organising this Wild Camp is to support and take care of our community and friends. To be completely transparent, the aim is to cover costs rather than make a profit from running it. We are attempting to gather at least 15 people, in which case the cost would be £270. In case we are more people (20 being the maximum), we can refund the difference back or assign the surplus to support the fellowship.
If you can´t afford this rate, please reach out to us at connect@bio-leadership.org and share a little about your situation.
