WildBay Retreats

I attended May’s Wildbay Retreat and it was a truly incredible experience. From the moment I arrived it felt like I was embraced in a warm supported hug the entire weekend. I left with a renewed energy and a deep sense of calm within. Everything about Wildbay Retreats is truly authentic. Daniel has mindfully crafted every aspect of the retreat to bring you on the most loving journey to nourish and reset your body, mind and soul. Activities flow seamlessly and include hatha yoga, giants causeway hike, ocean plunge, pond dip, conscious movement meditation and guided meditation to the melodic tones of a professional harpist. Magical!The location is breathtaking with the spectacular coastline and wonderful venue. Karen and Matthew treated us to the most amazing vegetarian feasts and along with Daniel were the most welcoming and gracious hosts. I cannot recommend this retreat enough and already can’t wait for my next visit. I think this needs to be experienced in every season! ❤️

Wild bay Retreats is the best experience I have ever taken part in.When I drove to the estate the scenery took my breath away.Dan’s great energy and kind soul was felt immediately on greeting and put me completely at ease.Accommodation, activities, food and like minded people exceeded my expectations and made my mind clear to what I actually needed in my life it was an awakening to the person I actually was who has been hidden for so long due to life events.From the hike along the giants causeway, the ocean dip, the jumping into the plunge pond, different types of meditation (led by Dan) and yoga could not have asked for anymore.Do not hesitate to book a place on this retreat I highly recommend it.Thanks to Dan and the crew u were all awesomeKaren x

What a wonderful, calming, insightful and all round magical experience! I attended the May 2022 retreat and was apprehensive about what the weekend would hold as it was my first time doing anything like this. But from the moment I arrived Daniel made me feel so comfortable and at ease, and so quickly the group felt like a bunch of old friends. As someone who is new to meditation, Daniel was the perfect facilitator. He was so warm, accepting and understanding, it was impossible to feel anything other than relaxed and ready to embrace every challenge and practice.The itinerary was packed full of unique and special experiences that gradually built on what we were learning and discovering together as a group and individually. I learnt more than I ever expected, overcame fears and discovered more about myself than I have in a long time. I left feeling lighter and more at ease with myself. I’d recommend it to anyone, I think there’s something for everyone to take away from the weekend. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was restaurant standard but with a lovely home cooked feel. And the location was breathtaking - I think you’d struggle to find a more perfect location to practice mindfulness.Overall - a thoughtful itinerary, an unforgettable experience and the perfect host. If you’re considering it - don’t hesitate!

The Wildbay retreat was an amazing weekend of mindfulness and relaxation. Daniel is a wonderful host who makes you feel welcome and relaxed from the moment you arrive. There is a real family feel as you meet his family members along the way which is so nice. I met a group of like minded people where I got to learn from them and their experiences. I particularly enjoyed the mindful movement and morning yoga sessions. The walk and ocean dip was really fun aswell. I have been on a journey of self discovery and felt this retreat helped me deepen my practice and learn new skills. I couldn't recommend it more.

There really are no words to convey how wonderful the few days I spent at WildBay Retreats were. Daniel had very carefully curated the venue, activities, food and practitioners. I have never done the conscious movement meditation, I was a bit worried at first but the gentleness of Daniel's delivery helped me really give it my all and let go. I felt so free and uninhibited, I haven’t done so for a very long time.In fact everything was just so perfect and I learnt a lot about other forms of meditation. I didn’t think I would do the ocean dip but the empowerment circle really helped motivate me and I’m glad we all went in as a group. I am looking in to doing some wild swimming near to where I live. Now I feel that I can do this…I am brave…I am strong……Karen and Matt were so lovely and hospitable too, their food was just soo yummy and healthy. I’m glad I got to try all the fab dishes they created and had seconds!!!I feel that the kindness from Daniel, Matt, Karen and the other group members has nurtured my soul...I didn't want to leave. This retreat and the wonderful people I met here will have a lasting impact on me and I feel encouraged and empowered to try new things.Thank you for such a magical fews days!!!!

Wildbay retreat was an amazing experience. Great hosts and lovely people. The activities were really varied and well planned. The setting was really beautiful. The whole retreat had a great sense of positive energy, care and compassion. I was very lucky to share the experience with a great group of people. There were lots of different types of meditation, the yoga was fantastic. I loved the hike and the cold sea plunge was my absolute favourite! I have food allergies which were looked after really well. My room was super comfortable. It was honestly a fantastic weekend! I would definitely recommend Wildbay Retreat.

I booked this retreat for my Mother and I to go on this year on Mothers Day, We have had a very hard couple of years and it was time for us to get in touch with our authentic selves and also connect with each other. Daniel was Amazing! So welcoming and friendly the activities he has curated are perfect and the weekend really flows as you go on your own personal journey and make friends with those around you. THE FOOD!!!!! was delicious and ready and waiting on you just when you where ready for it. I can not recommend this experience enough! The meditations and actives are just the right balance of fun and challenging and the people I met where so inspiring and we all got on so well, We even have a Whatsapp group where we stay in-touch. I know some of them are going straight back to do it all over again because it was so enjoyable. Incredible!!!

Absolutely amazing!Had a fantastic time on retreat - properly relaxed with great company, amazing food, brilliantly led yoga & meditation sessions and all in a stunning location.This was a new experience for me, and am so glad I went. Everything about it was so well planned with so much thought and consideration going into making sure there was something for everyone.Daniel's energy is amazing, and he, Matthew and Karen were so welcoming!

I had the pleasure of attending the first Wildbay Retreat in January. It was such an amazing experience, the location was beyond perfect, such a peaceful, tranquil place with stunning views. From the moment I arrived Daniel made me feel so welcome and relaxed. Our schedule for the weekend couldn’t have been set out any better, from the meditation, yoga, live Harpist, the most gorgeous walk along the stunning Antrim Coast to The Giants Causeway absolutely magical, and to finish the morning off a sea swim! I was a bit unsure about taking part in this as it was January and I had never done one before but Daniel did the most amazing job of putting us all at ease and giving us all the confidence to step out of our comfort zones and we all embraced it and we felt so invigorated afterwards. The food throughout the retreat was absolutely gorgeous, wholesome and healthy which was all prepared from scratch by the wonderful Matt and Karen who brought fresh home cooked meals to our table. I have been on many retreats around the world for many years and I have to say this one is by far the best one yet! Daniel brings such a great energy to his retreats which was infectious to us all, a merging of such beautiful souls. I came away from the weekend feeling relaxed, rebalanced and at peace. Looking forward to returning again soon ❤️
