Everyday you will begin your mornings with silence and meditation and enjoy a steady and slow rhythm as we move through the retreat program. You will be nourished with delicious Ayurvedic meals and be give plenty of opportunities to enjoy periods of solitude and reflection. In the afternoon there will be educational lectures on Ayurveda and the option to receive treatments including massage and acupuncture treatments. Our aim with the retreat is to offer you the opportunity, time and space to reconnect and centre yourself in a supportive and rejuvenating setting.
