Upcoming Retreats with Felix New

The Sloth Life is not just about moving slower — it is about moving through life more mindfully. 

This one-day retreat invites you to slow down your inner and outer world, reconnect with nature, and explore what it means to live with more calm, presence, and awareness. The experience is suitable for most people, however there will be a gentle focus on navigating anxiety, stress and nervous system tension. 

Inspired by the symbolism of the sloth, this day is not about doing less for the sake of it. It is about changing how we move through life. Even when life feels busy or overwhelming, we can learn to meet it with more grounded-ness and inner calm. The Sloth Life is about softening the rush inside, listening to the body, and finding a more grounded rhythm within yourself.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of Chester Zoo ('The UK's best Zoo'), with 130 acres and 30,000 adorable animals - we will spend the day mindfully exploring the zoo, tuning into the natural world, and gently reflecting on our own nervous systems and inner landscapes. Alongside time outdoors, we will have a private room for our group where we will practise guided meditation, grounding exercises, and gentle group reflections.

The atmosphere will be calm, connected and playful — a nourishing day to pause, breathe, soften, and remember that it is not only what we do, but how we do it, that shapes the way we feel.

You will leave with greater awareness and cutting-edge practical tools to bring more of The Sloth Life into your everyday world. Learn to move with intention and discover calm even within the chaotic movement of life.
