Get away with your best friends on your very own bespoke retreat

 

Retreats are a chance to unplug from the everyday, spend valuable time on you, and with others, reconnecting, learning and leave feeling revived and ready to face the world again.

Retreats can be about pretty much anything these days. You may want to indulge in a new hobby, challenge yourself to do something new. Maybe you really need to hone in on a particular issue, like managing anxiety or stress or women’s health.  Business retreats are growing in popularity too, so you can return home with a solid plan success. The possibilities are endless.

How long is a retreat?

They tend to be across a few days, although they can be just one day long. Typically a retreat includes activities, workshops, materials, accommodation and food.

Who goes to retreats?

The answer to that is anyone. They aren’t just for fitness freaks or for wellness. A retreat can feed a passion, build a new confidence or skill covering everything from sewing to marketing plans.

Can I go on a retreat with people I know?

What to expect

 

Our retreats with friends are usually across one or two days. Arrive to tea and cake. Enjoy an evening unwinding and sharing food, as well as your hopes for the days ahead. Later soak in the hot tub then retire to a warm cosy bed.

Awake to breakfast pastries, yoghurt and berries. Then into your first activity for the day, be it yoga, crafting, or a hike. Lunch will be either packed or back in your safari lodge.

Afternoon will be yet more activity & some time to yourself. The evening will be a group share, over a well earned feast and tipple, then you might want to let your hair down and dance the night away, before a dip and stories around the firepit, before you collapse into bed for a long sleep.

On your final day, you’ll awake to brekkie, a round up of activities, a quiet meditation and time to say your goodbyes.
