My name is Corrine Hough, Founder & your host,
I'm a Level 3 Personal Trainer and qualified Yoga Instructor and I’m here as your host, guide, friend and facilitator. I have spent years traversing the globe, uncovering hidden gems & exploring breathtaking landscapes. My mission is to share these experiences with you, to bring the benefits of the great outdoors, activities and help you discover a sense of calm, wellness and self improvement that I know nature and holistic practices can provide.
Whether you’re a seasoned outdoor or fitness enthusiast, a yoga novice or simply want to escape the grind, I want to create a space for you to thrive, all while forging connections with other like minded souls.
I can’t wait to meet and share these incredible journeys with you, where adventure, nature, wellness and self discovery join to create an experience of a lifetime!
We want our experiences to be more than just a holiday, we want you to come away feeling a sense of empowerment, confidence & calm, gaining the strength & tools to apply healthy choices & changes into your day to day life.
We live in a fast paced, driven and sometimes isolating world. We may feel connected through the many social channels and platforms but, when do we really connect?
Our experiences will connect diverse groups to share, inspire and liberate by feeling vulnerable and empowered together.
Our experiences offer a unique opportunity to release the tension that life's demands can build, allowing you to let go of the restraints that may be holding you back. It's time to shed any unwanted narratives that no longer serve you and pave the way to a more progressed, healthier and authentic version of yourself.
Through a blend of holistic practices, guided journaling, nature and adventure, you will find the space to reconnect and nurture your physical and mental wellbeing. This retreat is a chance to rekindle your inner glow and embrace a path of personal growth and transformation.
Being surrounded by nature can be an exhilarating and healing experience. It gives our overactive minds some respite. The physical, mental and emotional benefits can be life affirming and life changing.
We have travelled and explored some of the most beautiful landscapes for you and we have chosen some beautiful parts of the world and trails for our retreats. All are recce’d, safe and lead by professional hosts & guides.
Everyone has fears, they can emerge in us daily, fear of failure, fear of regret, fear of our circumstance and fear to step outside of our safety nets. We can become so wrapped up in these that we don’t have faith in our own strength and abilities to step outside of them and these can turn into missed opportunities.
If we put ourselves out there and challenge ourselves to do something outside of our comfort zone, It can have huge impacts on your day to day mindset, giving you a new belief system in your capabilities to achieve great things. Our retreats will give you the opportunity (and option) to do just that!
Taking time for yourself has never been more important. We are moving at a fast pace daily with little time to recharge and as much as this is an active retreat, it is also equally important to us that you leave feeling rejuvenated.
On selected retreats we host yoga and holistic sessions that are restorative, calming and educational, offering tools that you can take home on how to calm the mind, relieve tension and improve your internal narrative and emotions for a kinder and healthier head space.
Keeping active in whatever form you enjoy to move is a natural energy boost. It increases focus, motivation, relieves tension, stress and mental fatigue. It can also be a platform to find peace, mental stimulation, creativity and innovation.
Across some of our retreats we’ll host optional group fitness sessions that are high energy, will get your heart racing and boost those endorphins.
