Love Her Wild CIC is a UK-based community interest company headquartered in Parkend, England, that organises women-focused outdoor retreats and skill-building weekends. The organisation runs signature events including Wild Weekend 'South' — held at Runways End Outdoor Centre — and the Winter Wild Weekend in the Forest of Dean. Both experiences combine camping or cozy shared accommodation with outdoor skills, bushcraft, guided yoga, communal meals and inspirational talks led by guest facilitators.
Love Her Wild CIC designs retreats to welcome women of varied experience levels, from beginners wanting basic bushcraft and outdoor skills to experienced campers seeking structured personal-development workshops. Events emphasise inclusive, small-group formats that prioritise safety, practical learning and peer connection. The Winter Wild Weekend is described as a women-only retreat; Wild Weekend 'South' brings similar programming in a southern setting at Runways End Outdoor Centre.
As a community interest company, Love Her Wild CIC frames activities around community benefit and accessible outdoor education. Practical details such as venue choices, communal catering and outdoor-skill instruction are provided for each event so participants can plan for camping gear or shared indoor spaces as required.
Public descriptions of the trips highlight opportunities to learn bushcraft, practice yoga, and join talks focused on wellbeing and personal development. Participants typically leave with new outdoor skills, stronger connections to fellow attendees, and practical guidance for future wild camping and outdoor adventures. The retreats emphasise relaxation, adventure and building new friendships while offering hands-on instruction in outdoor living and safe group practice for women.
