the BE MORE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
With Tony Riddle and 42 Acres
Friday 29th April - Monday 2nd May 2022
42 Acres, Somerset, UK
This is an opportunity to reconnect with the awe-inspiring complexities of nature that are so deeply ingrained in our being, in what it is to be human.
“This retreat is your route to ‘rewilding’ yourself back to your natural, healthy state. I will be providing you with my Be More Human tools for you to apply to bring positive changes towards your health and wellbeing. You’ll learn to rewild your gut, diet, posture, movement, sleep, rest and even your indoor and outdoor experience. Through breathwork, nature immersion and empowering movement I’ll show you how to connect with your innate, wild nature, which holds the key to finding a healthier and happier state” - TONY RIDDLE
Humans are part of nature and nature is part of us; we are interconnected. The Be More Human Experience is where 42 Acres hold the space and Tony provides the coaching tools and support for you to reconnect with what your eco human needs, NOT what your human ego wants. To immerse fully in the healing and transformative process of nature.
It is here at The Be More Human Experience that you’ll find the space away from everyday life to make significant change happen. The process is one of letting go of the old compromised self - and all that isn’t serving you - to explore new ground and emerge with new skills, habits and perspectives to build resilience and the strength of mind to welcome in the wild, connected and empowered version of you. You are one powerful human being and you have everything you need within you to alter your current state of mind and Be More Human.
These four days will be filled with an abundance of rewilding natural movement, nature immersion, morning mobility, ice baths and wild swimming, human connection, communication, barefoot walks, wild running and down-in-the-dirt playful bear crawling fun. We will tune in and tune up with lots of nourishing rest, sleep, guided meditations, foraging, fire ceremonies, drumming circles, voice awakening and breathwork. We will feed our super-natural souls with super-natural foods that are foraged from the forest and farmed on the land.

Using simple, effective and accessible avenues for people to unearth the multitude of benefits of breathwork. Octavia spends her days teaching others to reconnect to the power of their breath, to help relieve emotional issues, improve physical health and connect more deeply to their inner wisdom and the beautiful world we live in.
“I want to help people connect back to the superpower they have inside - their breath, and in doing so connect back to themselves and to our beautiful planet”. Octavia Calthorpe
Conscious Connected Breath: Through a blend of powerful breathing modalities, we will create an experience of deep presence and empowering self-awareness, that allows for a much deeper connection to true self. We will be unscrewing the intellectual lid and opening up the portal to the unconscious world. The breathing modalities will flow beautifully, creating the space for you to receive intuitive nudges and insights into who you really are, beneath the façade. You’ll be flying high on your own supply and diving deep down into belly-raw emotions, unravelling negative emotions, releasing energetic blockades, and rebooting your mind, body and soul.
Kate Lister discovered yoga and voice practices early on in life and can’t imagine how she’d have survived without them! Now a professional musician, holistic voice coach and yoga teacher, she feels lucky to be sharing things she wholeheartedly believes support a freer, more joyful human existence.
Kate’s practices work to gently and playfully release blockages in self-expression. By providing tools to support and empower both our sound-making and capacity for self-listening, we can explore and ease tensions in the body and voice, free ourselves of old patterns and inhibitions, boost our confidence, cultivate compassion and communication skills, and have an awful lot of fun.
Voice Awakening: Singing and making sound is one of the most natural and instinctive things humans can do. Working with our voices can open us up to new levels of self-expression, self-understanding and unbounded depths of creativity, whilst balancing the vital wellbeing of the body and mind. Yes, all of that just with your voice! Through a mixture of meditative sound practices, expressive voice play and song, we will incorporate awareness of breath, body and mindstuff, whilst exploring our connection to ourselves and others. Absolutely no prior experience necessary!
Tasha Stevens-Vallecillo is the 42 Acres resident foraging expert. Through foraging and nature-connection workshops, Tasha invites you to connect deeper with nature, yourself and others.
