Design with Nature Retreats
The Lake District, Cumbria
Design a Home That Heals &
Where Your True Nature Feels at Home
Because you feel alive, at peace, and truly yourself when you create a space aligned with nature and with who you are inside.
Welcome to the Design with Nature Retreats: created especially for women, this is 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.
Sharon’s approach blends established principles of biophilic design with the practice of forest bathing to inspire creativity and soulful interiors.
Delyth, experienced Forest Therapy practitioner will be guiding you to reconnect with yourself through forest bathing and nature connection to access nature led inspiration.
Our retreats are for successful, creative women who feel overwhelmed, uninspired, or disconnected and long for a home and life that reflect their true essence.
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.
