A summary
Full FAQs are on my website here https://joyfuloutdoors.co.uk/rewilding-weekend Embrace your wild side & celebrate the summer solstice with us at a gorgeous Dartmoor rewilding project. This weekend is a unique opportunity to leave the modern world behind, shake off domesticity, and immerse yourself in nature and community. You’ll reconnect with your wild instincts, learn about the transformative process of rewilding this land and the reintroduction of beavers; forage for seasonal wild foods, and deepen your connection with native trees. Gather around the campfire to sing and share stories, enjoy a woodland sauna, a refreshing plunge in the chilly stream or simply relax in quiet contemplation beneath ancient beech trees. We may also have an opportunity to get hands-on with some practical rewilding activities, subject to requirements at the time. This special event offers a rare chance to experience a beautiful and secluded location, surrounded by a supportive community of like-minded women. It’s an off-grid camping weekend & you’ll need to bring your own camping kit; a tent or tarp & bivvy bag to just sleep under the stars. While the activities are not overly strenuous, full mobility is required to participate. Please note, while we have exclusive use of the site, some of the experts leading the beaver tour and educating us about the rewilding project may be male. Arrival is from 3pm on Friday 20 June, we will wrap by at 2pm on Sunday 22 June. Location- Devon (Dartmoor) Exact location will be provided on booking, 3 weeks in advance of the date but is on private land in the north east of Dartmoor, near Moretonhampstead, Devon. We will facilitate and encourage car sharing to the site nearer to the time.
About your mentor
Elspeth Fimpel / Joyful Outdoors
Love the outdoors, eat wild & laugh more.
I'm on a mission to share what I've learned about how beneficial the outdoors is to health & wellbeing; to help you get off your phone, find your joy & reconnect to lost knowledge. Through Joyful Outdoors, I offer experiences that encourage you to step away from the digital world, take a breath, and reconnect with the outdoors. Whether it’s foraging, learning bushcraft, or map, reading my sessions are about slowing down, being present, and engaging with the land in practical, meaningful ways. In addition to outdoor adventures, I also offer laughter yoga sessions — an unexpected path that's brought me huge joy. It’s been a rewarding reminder of the value in staying open to new experiences!

Cancellation Policy
No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.Please see full terms and conditions on the Joyful Outdoors website. To keep costs down and due to up front costs involved in setting up this weekend, the booking fee is non-refundable, though we can be flexible if you want to transfer your booking to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
