Welcome to the Design with Nature Retreat: an experience unlike any other in the UK, and possibly the world, where you’ll learn to transform your home using Sharon Lomas’ unique design process.

When: 11th-15th May 2026
Where: Thorney How, Grasmere, Cumbria

Why Biophilic Design & Nature Connection Matter

Design isn’t just decoration, it’s medicine. And nature connection isn’t just a walk in the woods, it’s the reset your body, mind, and spirit crave.

✔️ Cortisol levels drop by up to 16% after just 2 hours in the forest, relieving chronic stress and restoring hormonal balance.
✔️ Time in nature activates the vagus nerve, shifting you out of fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest, calming your nervous system deeply and sustainably.
✔️ Forest bathing increases activity in the prefrontal cortex, boosting creativity, problem-solving, and clarity, essential for regaining confidence and direction.
✔️ Immersing in natural environments evokes feelings of awe, which research shows expands perspective, enhances emotional resilience, and increases life satisfaction.
✔️ When you bring these patterns of nature into your home through biophilic design, you extend these scientifically proven benefits, so you don’t just feel good on retreat, but every day you wake up in your sanctuary.

Yet most homes miss this entirely - leaving women feeling uninspired, disconnected, and overwhelmed.

That’s why learning biophilic design and embodying nature connection together is the missing link in your wellbeing journey.
