Hear From Last Year’s Guests
“As a tentative first time retreater, I’m amazed at what I’ve taken from this experience. A beautifully curated retreat resulting in a perfect environment for wellness, exercise, reflection, relaxation and leisure.
I’ve shared this journey with 17 incredible people, I’ve laughed endlessly, made a group of beautiful new pals and learned a huge amount about myself. The surroundings are blissfully peaceful, the food unbelievable and the atmosphere positive and entirely free of judgement.
Although I’m sad to depart, I’ll be leaving with a sense of clarity about how to treat myself, my body and those around me. This was an experience that I will hold dearly and I’ll be rebooking without hesitation.
It was truly the highlight of my year - please save me a spot on next year’s” M, Director
“Thank you for putting together such a wonderful retreat and creating this beautiful space for us to rest and refuel. I have loved to move and learn with you, and will be bringing home with me little reminders to live better in me everyday” C
“This is the best retreat I’ve done so far. Everything was absolutely magnifique - I loved it” D, Designer
“Had the best time, don’t want to leave” K, Aesthetician
“Thank you for holding such a beautiful space for this retreat. I felt very supported and cared for” F, Holistic Health Practitioner
“Really excellent workshops, excellent food and perfect location” R
“This was the third retreat I have been on and by far the best. The organisation of events, the location, the staff and what was available was much better than expected even though I had high expectations. It was the most wonderful environment to stay in. Pete and Kate were amazing hosts and their retreat space is absolute bliss. They made us feel right at home - I definitely would return there and return to any event you organise because it was such a well thought out and wonderful experience. Your hard work paid off and I am truly thankful as is Didier. I cannot fail to mention the chefs who provided the most delicious and nutritious food. I am really impressed that they catered for everyone vegan or carnivore. I really would love to do it all again with your amazing team. The other guests were a joy to be around too so I can’t thank you enough. Until the next time…..” S, Psychotherapist

Having gained accreditation as a Guided Breathwork and Meditation Facilitator, Energy Healer, and Shamanic Medicine Practitioner, Kam invites you to experience her signature offering on the retreat: Restore and Heal. Priced at £190 for 90 minutes, this session offers a harmonious blend of osteopathy, guided breathwork and meditation, sound, energy healing, and shamanic medicine. It's designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit.
During these sessions, you'll delve into the profound realms of Shamanic Medicine, connecting with Earth’s energies and tapping into your inner wisdom. Kam's goal is to align you with your soul’s purpose, facilitating spiritual growth and healing. By the end of the session, you'll feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to embrace life with a renewed sense of calm.
