There’s no numbers pressure here—just space to rest, reflect and regain perspective.

With beautiful yurts set in the North Wiltshire countryside and time spent outdoors, it provides the conditions to fully switch off, regain perspective, and return with renewed clarity.

Led by Kay Henderson and Vidar Velle

Kay is a certified ICF and Co-Active coach with over 30 years’ experience in leadership and organisational transformation.

After a high-achieving corporate career, she recognised that success doesn’t always bring fulfilment—and that stepping back can be where real clarity begins.

She now works with mid-career and mid-life professionals who feel stretched, restless, or at a crossroads—supporting them to pause, reflect, and move forward with confidence.

Alongside Kay, Vidar Velle brings a more grounded, nature-based perspective.

Vidar built Nordic Glamping from the ground up—designing and crafting each yurt by hand, and shaping the site with a light, considered approach. Before this, he spent many years working in Norway as a network and nature-based youth therapist, supporting individuals through challenge and change in outdoor settings.

Together, they offer a retreat that is both thoughtful and practical—combining professional insight with the quiet, restorative influence of time spent close to nature.

A countryside escape to rest, reset and recharge:

Our location is Botswicky Copse, near Bishopstone, Swindon, Wiltshire.

A small off-grid glamping site set in a 10 acre wildflower meadow, surrounded by open countryside, ancient woodland and wide, starlit skies.

Within easy reach of London, Oxford and the South West, yet far removed from the pace of everyday life.

What’s included:

• Two nights in a handcrafted yurt, with comfortable beds and high quality linen

• Wood-burning stoves and fire pits for warmth and evenings outdoors

• Guidance and facilitation from your hosts

• Unstructured time in nature, with space to slow down and reconnect

• Shared moments around the fire, without pressure

• Wholesome food

What to expect:

No pressure to perform or produce results here: for many professionals, this is unfamiliar. Much of working life is shaped by targets, decisions and constant output.

This retreat offers a deliberate contrast, a quieter environment where nothing is required of you. In that space, the mind begins to settle, and perspective for what is meaningful and important returns.

By the end of your time here, you are likely to feel more rested, mentally lighter and better able to see your situation with clarity; along with this, a steadier sense of what matters and how you may want to move forward.

There is space to walk, sit, reflect or rest with experienced hosts you can gently guide you.

Practical activities such as gathering wood, lighting a fire and preparing food outdoors offer a different kind of pace and purpose —ones that bring a sense of ease and completion, often missing from modern working life rushing from one thing to the next.

Our retreat is kept intentionally small and thoughtfully guided, drawing on nature-led practices and genuine lived experience.

You’ll leave with more than rest: a clearer mind, renewed energy, and a more grounded sense of how to move forward.

Investment:

£595 per person (discounts available for anyone sharing a yurt)

-Includes two nights’ accommodation in one of our handcrafted yurts, cosy and warm organic bedding, all meals, and guided support throughout.
