WilderMe offers small, autism-friendly holidays for independent autistic adults who want a supportive, nature-based break without the overwhelm of typical group travel.
Nestled in the tranquil village of Kingsand, SE Cornwall, this unique adventure offers a carefully crafted, fuss-free experience focused on relaxation, connection, and personal growth. It’s more than a retreat-it’s your time to unwind, recharge, and feel truly at ease.
Staying in our top of the range Geodesic Domes (see pics below), our holidays combine gentle adventure, creativity, and calm downtime in a stunning coastal and countryside location, giving you the chance to explore new experiences, meet people who understand, and take time for yourself.
This Trip is For
This holiday may suit you if you are:
-
An autistic adult (18+) who wants to travel independently, but not entirely alone
-
Looking for a calm, nature-based break
-
A solo traveller seeking a welcoming group
-
Curious to try new activities in a low-pressure environment
-
An adult who want connection without pressure to socialise or mask
-
Wanting a supportive, nurturing environment
Not For: Party-goers who like busy holiday parks, loud entertainment etc.
Our Independent Retreats are not for people who require 1:1 / overnight support. We have separate retreats for groups who attend with support staff too.

Monday – Arrival & Settling
A gentle welcome, site tour, shared pizza, and African drumming circle to ground into the space and the week.

Shinrin Yoku (Nature trek) and a wild swim, followed by free time. The afternoon offers wild foraging and cookery, ending with a shared curry.
Wednesday – Creativity & Connection
An alpaca experience in the morning, unstructured time after lunch, then a nature-based art session. The day closes with pasta and an campfire music sing-along.
Thursday – Play & Making
A supported surfing experience in the morning, pottery in the afternoon, and an evening pub meal out together for those who choose to join.
Friday – Gentle Goodbye
A relaxed breakfast at The Canteen cafe for a calm, unhurried farewell.
You are always free to rest instead, arrive late, leave early, or skip anything entirely.
Our retreats require a basic level of fitness, and some activities involve walking for up to two hours at a moderate pace, occasionally with steep sections. Please be assured that we always take our time, and you will be fully supported throughout. Most guests find the walks very manageable, and our Retreat Leaders are there to help you go at a pace that feels comfortable.
Our site is accessible, and we warmly encourage guests to contact us with any questions or specific needs. We’re here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and welcome.
Due to limited spaces, we kindly ask that guests provide documentation of their diagnosis please.
