Aligning & reconnecting with the rhythms of the year.
Step away from the screen and into nature.
For 95% of human history, we lived, worked and learned in alignment with the natural world. Today, we spend most of our time indoors, under artificial light, glued to screens, trying to force ideas. The result? Burnout, exhaustion and a sense of being out of sync with what really matters.
The Natural Network is a new series of gatherings created by me for business leaders, change-makers and professionals seeking to work and live with purpose. It’s for those who want to reconnect to what matters, gain clarity and bring fresh energy back into their work and life.
Three-day retreats can feel inspiring but too often the benefits fade once we return to the pressures of everyday life. Instead, this model offers a steady rhythm of eight gatherings aligned with the Wheel of the Year, an ancient cycle that has guided communities for centuries. Each season brings its own invitation:
Resting (Winter) - pausing, restoring and reflecting.
Planting (Spring) - setting intentions and beginning again.
Growing (Summer) - energising, collaborating and expanding.
Harvesting (Autumn) - gathering wisdom, celebrating progress and integrating what we’ve learned.
Together, these cycles form a wheel of regenerative business and leadership, a living model that keeps you aligned, grounded and inspired throughout the year.
Each gathering will be co-created with guest facilitators, blending perspectives from regenerative farming, coaching, leadership and community building. Some events will take place in nature at Four Acre Farm, while others will be hosted in urban spaces like Patch in Bournemouth, striking a balance between grounding and accessibility.
This is the beginning of a new kind of network, a space for people exploring how to live, work and lead in alignment with nature.

The third gathering…
The Wintering | 18th December 2025
Following the success of Harvesting Wisdom (the season of gathering insight) and Crossing the Threshold (the time of reflection and release), we now invite you to step into winter for a moment to rest, restore and rekindle your inner fire.
Together, these gatherings follow the rhythm of the year, guiding business leaders, change-makers and creative professionals through a cycle of clarity, purpose and renewal.
As winter settles and the land rests, we too are invited to pause, to step into stillness and rediscover the energy that fuels what comes next. Where our earlier events explored gratitude and release, The Wintering calls us into depth - a season for tending what remains, listening for new direction and aligning our inner rhythm with the work we’re here to do.
What to Expect
Fireside gathering with guided reflection and open conversation
Hot drinks, cake and warmth among community
A chance to pause and connect with the rhythm of the season

We’ll be guided by the land itself at Four Acre Farm, with Kate Forrester (farm co-founder, regenerative grower, and community-builder) co-facilitating alongside me. Together we’ll hold space for reflection and preparation, weaving lessons from the soil and the seasons into tools for leadership, resilience, and growth.
