WILD SWIMMING RETREAT | June 12-14th 2026
Combe Head House | Wild Swimming Woman | Dimpsey
Wild Swimming Retreat in Somerset TA203LY
12th – 14th June 2026
Tara ‘Wild Swimming Woman’, Lara of Combe Head House and Emma at Dimpsey invite you to join us for a summer’s weekend of wild swimming delights, sauna sessions, woodland feasts, sound baths, meditation and Wild Circles and plenty of time to connect with the land and natural spring waters of this idyllic Somerset location.
The swimming pond can be viewed here. It is a spring-fed, Victorian pond with a jetty with steps to and from the water.
Nestled in a peaceful countryside estate in South Somerset, this is more than a retreat — it is a returning. A returning to stillness, to the land and waters, and to the quiet wisdom within.
Here, time slows, and presence becomes an experience of deep nourishment.
A space to rest, restore and revive your connection to soul and joy for life. We’ll spend the weekend together at Combe Head House ‘a place to slow down, reconnect, and savour the simple things’.
“With its timeless charm, lush gardens, and historic spaces, our estate provides a truly magical backdrop”
This retreat is a midsummer celebration, just days before the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year.
A time to celebrate our growth and successes, the blooming of our lives and nature’s abundances all around.
Throughout the weekend, you will be guided through moments of renewal and reconnection: individual time and community, nature and luxury, reflection and intention, doing and being, movement and stillness.
