day Retreats in the surrey countryside

A Gift to Yourself

A chance to slow down, take a pause and reconnect with yourself and other like minded souls.

These day retreats provide a space to step away from our daily routines and reconnect with ourselves in nature. Each retreat has a theme and the thread of this weaves through the various practises and the day.

Treat Yourself

A house with a large porch overlooking a calm river, surrounded by trees and greenery, with a large leafless tree on the opposite bank.

Bright breakfast nook with a wooden table set with croissants, coffee cups, two glasses of orange juice, a vase of flowers, and a jar of jam, next to a large window overlooking a porch and outdoor greenery, with a white wall clock showing 9:10.

The Venue

The Lake House, Newdigate with stunning views across the lake and immersed in the Surrey countryside. The property has an expansive shaded decking area where we practise yoga overlooking the lake.

There is a cosy bell tent on the property where we practise our restorative yoga and on less sunny days!!

Should you wish to extend your stay Lake House sleeps 3 in a king size bedroom and a single bedroom.

Join us

A peaceful riverside scene with lush green trees, including willow and other species, reflecting on calm water. Two small boats are floating on the river, and neatly trimmed grass and bushes surround the area under a clear blue sky.

Yoga mats and props arranged on a wooden dock beside a pond with green trees and a small blue shed.

Bright seaside living room with white walls and ceiling, featuring a white sofa with nautical themed pillows, a window overlooking a yard with green trees, and a dining area with a white table and chairs near large windows.

Cozy bedroom with large window, white wooden walls, and a bed with gray and white bedding, seagull artwork, and a pillow with beach hut embroidery.

Your Day

A deeply nurturing day to reset and connect with yourself and nature.

We begin with an opening circle to fully arrive and ground ourselves before a gentle hatha and yin practise.

A nourishing vegetarian lunch is followed by a walking meditation in the meadow with time for journalling.

Moving slowly into the afternoon with a long restorative practise ending our time with tea and cake.

About Your Host

Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to attend numerous retreats in various parts of the world; some long, some short but each one has been a gift, a reset, a returning to myself.

I know how healing these have been for me and my journey and wanted to offer this space to others. Taking time for ourselves is so important but I also appreciate taking a week or weekend away isn’t always possible or perhaps it feels a bit daunting if it’s your 1st time and so these day retreats began!

I would love to welcome you onto this day, to spend time with. yourself and other like minded souls….something always magical happens when we come together.
