Designed to help you reset, this winter wellness retreat encourages you to embrace the quieter, introspective energy of the season, leaving you feeling completely revitalised.

Dates
February 27-1
February may still be winter, but the days are quietly lengthening, creating an ideal moment for introspection. Rather than hibernating, we lean into the season and whatever the weather brings. It’s a time for deeper reflection, self-care and restoration, making a February retreat the perfect reset.
ACCOMMODATION
2 luxury nights
Relax at our peaceful country estate in Denbighshire, a lovingly restored converted barn set amid rolling North Wales countryside. The accommodation blends character with modern Scandinavian comfort, offering elegant bedrooms and calming communal spaces. Indoors unwind by the fire and enjoyed relaxed communal spaces, and outside offers woodland with quiet corners perfect for reflection.
Food
All meals included
This retreat features a plant-based menu designed to support recovery, boost immunity, and nourish your body after each cold water immersion. Packed with energising and healing nutrients, it helps restore balance, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being. And, of course, it’s delicious, fuelling your journey to renewal with every meal. All our retreats are alcohol free.

BARBARA, LIVERPOOL
Loved this retreat, Leo was an amazing yoga teacher and very inspiring. I was very apprehensive about the cold water dip in the waterfall, but with the breath work and mind reset I achieved it!
I wanted to relax on the retreat but came away feeling both exhilarated and relaxed. I would go every month if I could.

Everything about your retreats is well planned and incredibly nurturing so it's honestly hard to say what my favourite part was!
The activities are scheduled to maximise an introspective experience within a truly safe and caring environment. The location is stunning and I loved the cold water dips even more this time. I returned home rested, and inspired to further my self practices and to incorporate more mindfulness into my daily life.

JON, MID WALES
This retreat greatly exceeded my expectations. Going vegan, abstaining from alcohol ("detoxing") and enjoying the company of a very friendly and enthusiastic group has certainly been refreshing and re-energising. Many thanks to Laura, Leo, Katy and Aimee for a first class yoga, gastronomic and outdoor water experience.
