The Art of the Wild
Hosted by Laura Bunting · Hannah Wood · Mia Collis
We know a place where the days go slow and the mornings are gold.
This is an invitation to one of the most special corners of the world. A night in Nairobi to land softly, then five in Laikipia with the three of us guiding, and a week that doesn't feel like anywhere else.
Not a course, not really a retreat either — more a stretch of days through the lens, the breath and a lot of stillness, that tends to stay with people long after they've flown home.
Let us introduce your hosts:
Photography, breath and stillness — not stacked on top of each other, just part of the same unhurried days.
Photography
with Mia Collis
Time out with Mia and a camera, learning to read the light and trust your eye. You'll come home with photographs that mean something — not just proof you were here.
Breathwork
with Hannah Wood
Hannah's breathwork is the quiet counterweight to the early starts. An hour under a tree, and things you'd been holding tightly tend to come loose on their own.
Yoga & meditation
with Laura Bunting
Laura teaches Yin, Yoga Nidra, and meditation; with the plains in front of you and bird song as the background music.
Your guides
This is my retreat, and Kenya has been home for a long time now. I teach the Yin, Yoga Nidra and meditation, and mostly I hold the space — so all you have to do is arrive, slow down, and let the week take care of the rest.
Hannah has spent years guiding breathwork, and she's good at reaching the things people can't quite talk their way to.
Mia is a third-generation Kenyan who has photographed conservation stories across some of Africa's hardest places to work; her book with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust sold out in ninety days. She'll teach you to read light and wait for the right moment, so you come home with a handful of photographs you'll actually want to print.
Enasoit Camp
Enasoit sits on 4,500 private acres, one of the quietest, most beautiful corners of Kenya I know — less a lodge than somewhere that feels, quite quickly, like your own.
Your tented cottage looks straight out onto the plains, and you'll likely have giraffe grazing there at first light. The pool sits under old trees. Where you eat changes with the day — some nights it's the dining room, others a table set out in the bush with the fire going. It's barefoot and easy; nothing showy, everything thought through.
Seven days in the wild
Nairobi
Someone from our team meets you inside the terminal at Nairobi and gets you through to the House of Waine, where the first night is yours to sleep off the flight.
Into the wild
This is when everyone meets for breakfast, before travelling to Enasoit by private charter flight. We open with a small welcome to the conservancy, and your first sunset out on a game drive.
The daily rhythm
Sunrise drives with the cameras, breathwork under the trees, Yoga Nidra, time with Mia on your photographs, and dinners under the stars. Nothing's fixed — the days move with the animals and with how the group is feeling.
Back to Nairobi
One last sunrise, a slow breakfast, then the charter back to Nairobi and the flight home — a little different than when you came.
A sample day
Nothing's rushed, and no two days are quite the same. Here's the shape of one.
Everything included
Included
Not included
You don't need to have picked up a camera or even have practiced yoga before. Come as you are; we will meet you where you're at.
Two ways to join
A twin ensuite tent, shared with a friend, partner or fellow traveller. All the same days and drives — with someone beside you to whisper 'did you see that?' at first light.
Reserve your spaceYour own cottage — a proper tented suite with a king bed, ensuite and private veranda, for when you'd rather have the quiet to yourself.
Reserve your spaceFlexible payment plans available. Two single spaces remain — bookings close 18 August.
Only 8 spaces — two remain
Two rooms are still open, and bookings close on 18 August — so if this is calling to you, now is the time. Reserve one, or schedule a call with Laura first if you'd rather talk it through.
