The Celtic lovers nest
Unique intimacy retreats for couples
The Celtic lovers nest experience is suitable for couples, beloveds and lovers of all varieties. It’s a once in a lifetime totally unique adventure. It has been designed and crafted over many years to create the optimum environment for a truly transformational night of deep love, magic and heart led intimacy. Whether you are familiar with natural rustic environments or completely new to it, you will not be disappointed. The space takes you back into long ago and at the same time you will have the advantages of modern comfort, carefully disguised so you really feel you are in the ancient past.
This natural organic space invites lovers to discover and explore deeper realms of love and intimacy. The dwelling itself is a round structure nestled into the hill side, designed and created in an ancient indigenous-style. Made entirely of natural materials consisting of cob, cord wood, earthen roof and round wood rafters with a central fire pit. It is designed specifically for ceremony and ritual of various kinds, visioned through liminal space and birthed into being in a 7 day ceremony with 28 people.
Inside the floor is covered in a thick layer of sheepskins and deerskins. The alter holds the energies of the ancestors and the being that are guardians of the space, light beings who carry the wisdom of love and healing. They open up portals to make it easier for you to pass through into liminal and magical realms with your beloved, where love can expand and bring you into deeper connection.
The space is lit with candlelight and the romance of the central fire which is held by the 13 grandmother hearthstones. The entrance is a passageway akin to a birth canal to help you enter and leave with more intention and awareness of ceremony.
It is a powerful and transformational space where many humans have had deep and profound experiences. You are invited to experience this directly with you and your beloved. Spaces such as these have been used for thousands of years to work with inner shifts of consciousness and healing. The lodge is a liminal space within which you can be held and move through the veil that separates us from other worlds. It offers the potential for you to transcend linear time, all the while deeply help by the earth from which it is built.
We allow only objects made of natural materials inside the lodge; no technology of any kind (including mobile phones) and plastic is kept to a minimum.

OPTION 3
The Celtic lovers ‘Feral Kink’ nest
Held by Jewels Wingfield and Julian Freeman
This nest option has all the components of the other nests but, it also includes conscious heart led feral Celtic Kink. Each couple will have a bespoke ritual created just for them based on the initial consultation and initial ceremony to facilitate meeting you exactly where you are, and with how you want to explore, in a safe and heart led way with the optimum potential for transformation and bliss.
What is feral Celtic kink you might ask ?
Feral Celtic kink is a way of exploring ‘ordinary’ conscious heart led kink but, it works with shamanic principles and is set deep in natural surroundings and a fire hearth at the centre. This entwined with the hearts wisdom becomes the teacher and the magic. Feral kink invites us to find the untamed one in us and we work with animal wisdom and elemental beings to guide you into exploring the kind of kink that you want to. It is playing with power and pleasure. All the equipment is also natural – eg animal skins, feathers, handmade bitch bark floggers, hand made hemp rope, silk hand ties, animal bone for restraint, furs and bracken for sensory input. There is no plastic or manufactured artificial equipment or clothing. No latex, shiny red or black leather, shiny silver metal, no pink glitter or plastic artefacts. Everything is made of natural materials and of natural earthy colours. It will provide a feast of the senses and a portal into deep time so as to create a feeling of wild ancient world.
Some examples of why you might choose this option:
- You have never explored conscious Kink before because you have been put off by the commercial mainstream style.
- You would value a more rustic heart led and private experience using natural materials and equipment.
- You would enjoy being outdoors in the wilds of nature (private) or in an ancient style building that supports and enhances the experience.
- You have some experience with conscious Kink and would like to explore your more wild and feral side in this context.
- You are familiar with conscious Kink and power play but would like to explore a more feral nature based shamanic approach.
- You want to explore power dynamics in your relationship and feel that animism and shamanism calls to your soul as a way to explore.
- You are a nature loving, Outlander/Game of thrones fantasist and love the idea of chains and furs, antlers and soil and a feeling of being in ancient times.
