Four dates in 2025
Retreat & Rise Up hosts just four retreats a year with a maximum of 18 people per retreat. Retreats are three days and two nights, including travel time.
Late Spring
A time of renewal, signalled by the arrival of the bluebells surrounding the ancient forest floor.
Summer
Vibrant and full of life, as the rainforest canopy reaches its lush, green peak.
Late Summer
The leaves deepen in colour as the forest softens with golden light.
Equinox
As daylight and night meet in perfect balance, the forest hums with a quiet energy.
Feel the tingle of change
Change comes when the old way of being is no longer quite working. Maybe you’re lucky enough to be “good busy”. You’ve got your rhythm, there’s no room for any deviations. Well, this retreat might not be for you.
But maybe you’ve got that tingling feeling. That thrill, when you know you’re ready for new ideas. Then this is exactly where you need to be.
Be human in nature
A canopy of ancient rainforest above, a vast mycelial network below, this is the place where connections are forged, where the spark of something new – a brand, a journey, a vision – might just burst into glorious technicolour.
Stay
Sleep under the stars, retreating into the comfort of your luxury Koyt cabin. Nestled in the wilds of the temperate rainforest, each cabin is fitted with a log burner and Atlantic blankets, providing comfort and warmth as you rest and restore.
Nourish
Mealtimes are an abundant spread of delicious and locally sourced food, catered to dietary requirements. We’ll gather around the table to nourish and to connect, sharing experience and ideas in the joy of good food and good company.
Grow

Zero trust falls required
Forget what you know of networking events or conferences. We have three days, two nights in the rare, temperate rainforest of Cabilla Cornwall. Both the environment and the programme have been developed for lasting impact.
Immersed in nature, we’ll begin with a collective exhale, shifting our nervous systems into rest and digest. We’ll hike, we’ll wild swim, we’ll sweat it out in the sauna. Evenings are for fireside conversation, canopied by rainforest and stars. Our second night, we’ll sink into a sound bath. Mornings are for yoga, a juicy combination of breath-work and movement to enter a place of deep rest and receptivity.
It’s here that we’ll begin our workshops, led by And Rising’s expert facilitators, curated around your personal, brand and venture development. This is deep, creative work, zero trust falls required.
Let great ideas spin from your heart.
