A five-day retreat centred around movement, creativity, nature and embracing your wild.
Five days in the heart of Puglia, Italy, surrounded by olive groves, open skies and the slower rhythm of countryside life.
We’ll move, swim, create, explore, eat well and spend long days outside, with yoga, pilates, creative workshops, nature, shared meals and plenty of space to simply be.
Set in a beautifully restored farmhouse with an open-air pool, cave spa and peaceful yoga shala, Wild Thing is an invitation to slow down, reconnect and feel more alive.
Open to everyone, all levels and all ways of being. Everything is optional. Come to move, rest, make, wander or do absolutely nothing at all.

Movement is at the heart of Wild Thing.
Throughout the retreat we'll share yoga, Pilates, mobility, guided runs and walks, giving you the opportunity to move in different ways throughout the week.
Every session is open level and completely optional. Whether you join everything or simply choose what feels right each day, the retreat is yours to experience in your own way.

04 · FOOD
Food is one of the highlights of any retreat.
Each day we'll share fresh, seasonal meals inspired by southern Italy, bringing everyone together around one table.
Expect colourful vegetarian dishes, local ingredients and long lunches and dinners that become just as memorable as the movement itself.
