Wild Experiences Northumberland is a Lowick, England–based provider of hands-on workshops and wellbeing experiences across Northumberland. The business offers a curated programme of five distinct experiences: Heartfelt Reiki, Breadmaking, Fabulous Felt Making, Pilgrims Crossings to Holy Island, and The Rose Circle. Each experience focuses on connection to self, creativity, practical skills, or local landscape.
Heartfelt Reiki blends shamanic drumming, plant spirit energy, life coaching and yoga with personalised Reiki sessions led by Harvest Rose. Breadmaking is a practical, hands-on workshop suitable for all skill levels that teaches essential bread-baking techniques and encourages creativity and camaraderie. Fabulous Felt Making guides participants through crafting a unique felt picture inspired by nature, facilitated by Harvest Rose with an emphasis on wellbeing and creative expression. Pilgrims Crossings to Holy Island is a guided barefoot crossing of the tidal sands to Holy Island, following St Cuthbert’s route and offering opportunities to observe seals and birdlife; participants can stop for refreshments at Pilgrims Coffee House or a local pub. The Rose Circle is a two-hour wellbeing gathering held in the Heart Space at Laverock Law Farm combining meditation, Reiki and creative practice with refreshments.
Wild Experiences Northumberland is featured on The Adventure Collective and operates locally in Lowick and the surrounding Northumberland coast. The business works with experienced instructors and local sites to deliver accessible, small-group events that emphasize safety, nature connection and practical learning.
