A WILD WELLNESS RETREAT

T3’s Ruth Hamilton heads on a Thera-Sea retreat to see if getting back to nature really is the best medicine

Thera-Sea is a wellness retreat, but not the pampering kind. Founded and run by mental health nurse and ocean-lover Katy Griffin, these retreats are designed to diffuse the stresses of modern life via a mixture of wild living, adventurous activities, and lifestyle medicine workshops. I joined a group on one of the two-night stays at 7th Rise, a remote location on the banks of the River Fal in Cornwall, to see if getting back to nature could provide the wellness boost we’re all looking for.
