Yoga, Ceremonial Cacao, and Nature Connecting Retreat
All levels welcome
It all begins with connection offline in nourishing spaces. We run bespoke retreats for those looking for a themed wellbeing staycation weekend and private retreats for friends or businesses to re-connect.
We are based on the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire, in the Cotswolds. Our retreats are run at the beautiful Dower House, a in Badminton village.
Join us for Wild Foraging, Yoga (vinyasa and restorative yoga), walks and runs through the deer park and a spiritual ceremony with Cacao to help you unwind and restore.
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
Cacao is used in ceremony to open our hearts to experience love and elevated emotions in depth. It serves the purpose to open your heart, and will allow you to connect deeper on this retreat and when you leave.
Book with us for a transformative experience at Badminton.

These retreats are to inspire and empower people to overcome negative behaviour habits so they can calm the mind, find balance, build confidence, and find what they’re passionate about so they can live a life filled with purpose and fulfilment.
The retreat offers a fresh start to help break bad habit patterns back home when surrounded by familiar temptations, triggers and pressures.
