Why Join Our Retreat?

This retreat is designed not only to allow you to forget about your everyday stresses but also to encourage personal growth and introspection.

The combination of physical activity, mindfulness techniques, and creativity will leave you feeling rejuvenated and serene.

Our retreat is designed to welcome everyone, ensuring that all participants feel comfortable, supported, and free to be their authentic selves throughout the weekend. Together, we will revitalise our spirits and enhance our well-being through six essential areas of wellness.

1. Fun and Laughter is a universal language, and this weekend, we’re making it a priority! Engaging in joyful activities boosts our mood and helps us connect with ourselves and others. One of our highlights will be a silent disco under the stars—an opportunity to dance freely and enjoy the moment! This inclusive experience will allow everyone to unwind and share laughter, fostering a warm community spirit where all feel welcome.

2. Rest is vital for our overall well-being, especially in our busy lives. There’s no better place to rejuvenate than in the peaceful embrace of nature. Throughout the weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in restful activities, including guided meditation, quiet chill-out moments, relaxing in the hot tub and sauna, and journaling to reflect and recharge. Nature will serve as a calming backdrop, allowing you to restore mental clarity and emotional balance.

3. Nourish Your Soul, exploring new experiences is a powerful way to nurture your spirit. This weekend, we encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and try new activities, gaining that exhilarating rush of joy that comes with achievement. Paddle boarding will be one of our exciting adventures, inviting everyone to connect with nature and push their boundaries. This inclusive approach allows you to embrace new experiences at your own pace, discovering how rewarding it can be!

4. Walking is a grounding experience for everyone and a wonderful way to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Lake District. It promotes physical health while enhancing mental clarity and emotional well-being. Together, we will embark on picturesque hikes and enjoy the social benefits of walking in groups. This collaborative experience will create lasting memories, ensuring that everyone feels included and supported as we explore the stunning environment together.

5. Building Relationships. Our inclusive retreat invites you to build new friendships and strengthen connections. By participating in activities together, we create bonds that uplift and inspire. Throughout the weekend, you will find that nobody is alone; we grow together as a community, holding space for one another and encouraging personal growth. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels safe to be themselves.

6. Spiritual Well-being. In addition to physical and emotional wellness, we will engage in a cacao ceremony with Sharlene Drinkwater from

Returning to your Magic—an inclusive practice that promotes heart-opening and mindfulness. This spiritual experience encourages connection with oneself and with others, cultivating a deeper sense of peace and gratitude. Our approach ensures that everyone feels valued and welcomed as they explore their spirituality in a supportive environment.
