Wild Ivy Retreats Rosie Hill
A Note from Our Co-Founder, Rosie Hill

Hello! I’m Rosie — co-founder of Wild Ivy. I grew up in the countryside just north of London, where I spent most of my time outdoors, completely in awe of nature. That connection has always stayed with me. I've longed for a conscious, creative community — one that moves in rhythm with the seasons and celebrates the slower, more intentional moments in life. 

 

As an artist and sculptor, creating has always been in my bones, with nature as my greatest inspiration. Wild Ivy first came to life with my dear friend, chef and food stylist Carolin Marsdon — a shared dream of bringing together creativity, community, and the earthy wisdom of the wild. Before this chapter, I spent years running a festival shop, travelling from Glastonbury to the Isle of Wight Festival. But I felt called to something more rooted — a way to create beauty and connection that feels nourishing and meaningful. 

 

I later travelled to Guatemala to train with the Kula Collective and became certified as a Sacred Space Holder (50hrs, Yoga Alliance). That journey opened the door to guiding others gently back to themselves, to each other, and to the Earth. 

 

Now, through Wild Ivy, we host retreats and gatherings in gorgeous, eco-aligned spaces all across England — always co-creating with incredible chefs, artists, and facilitators. 

 

Whether it's a retreat, workshop, team event, or celebration, each one is filled with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart. I truly can’t wait to welcome you into our Wild Ivy circle — to share the stillness, beauty, and gentle magic that nature so freely gives. 

 

With love, 

Rosie
