We are fully booked!

What would New Year’s Eve feel like if it were alcohol-free, TV-free and firework-free?
The end of the year is a good time to pause, go inward, and look at what you want to let go and what you want to cultivate.
This healing retreat features yoga sessions with experienced teacher Claire Mace to help you connect deeply to your body and your wisdom, to release old patterns, and bring in fresh energy.
There will be mixed-level, more active yoga practices on offer on the Friday afternoon at 5.30pm and Saturday and Sunday mornings at 10am.
On the Friday evening, after dinner, we’ll enjoy some chanting and candlelit restorative yoga to really soothe and nourish our bodies, and to get us into the snooze zone.
On the Saturday evening, which is New Year’s Eve, we will co-create a ceremony of becoming, as we dream in the New Year with meditations, guided writing, chanting, and sharing.
It’s totally up to you as to whether you stay up til midnight and partake of a non-alcoholic elixir to toast the end of the year, or whether you fancy an early night!
There will also be free time in the afternoons to rest, relax, down-regulate, be in nature, and chat to others.
