Founded in 2023 by husband-and-wife team Jess and Greg Symondson, Firelight was born from their shared passion for bringing people together in nature to share magical experiences that bring them joy.

Much like the beautiful countryside around them, Firelight events move with the seasons, from a cosy eco-barn in the winter months to a beautiful and spacious tipi in the summer months.

The Firelight team offers a variety of events and experiences, including yoga, breathwork, and meditation classes as well as wellness retreats, open-air gigs, and communal feasts—all designed to help guests disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the restorative power of nature.

As their name suggests, Firelight events frequently centre around the campfire—an ancient space for communication, connection, and creative collaboration.

Jess and Greg believe that today’s stressed-out humans can get as much benefit from music, dance, and delicious food as they can from wellness practices like yoga, meditation, and breathwork—and that the two should not be mutually exclusive.

“Our gigs, dining events, and nature based experiences are often a gateway to the world of wellness for many of our customers, who might feel a bit intimidated by the often ‘serious’ or ‘cliquey’ world of wellness.”

This February and March, Firelight is hosting a nourishing week-long retreat in Taghazout, Morocco. The retreat includes daily yoga, breathwork, meditation, and opportunities to explore local culture, aiming to help people heal, transform, and emerge from their winter shell.

For those seeking wellness closer to home, Firelight's Oxfordshire location is conveniently situated just 40 minutes by train from Central London and 20 minutes from Oxford by car.

Lopemede Farm provides an ideal setting for private events and corporate team retreats, offering unique events and bonding experiences that connect organisations with each other and with nature. Firelight's mission is to inspire nature connection, holistic well-being, and a lasting impact in the lives of their guests. By collaborating with the UK's best well-being practitioners, entertainers, and chefs, they curate a year-long calendar of workshops, experiences, and events to help guests connect with their inner joy.

As individuals embark on their January resolutions, Firelight offers a supportive community and a variety of practices to foster lasting well-being. From weekly yoga classes to wellness events

with a generous sprinkling of fun… Did someone say sunset yoga with a live DJ and rosé by the fire? Yes, please!
