reconnect with nature, and find a deeper sense of balance and tranquility.
​
This retreat is crafted to provide a holistic approach to Wellbeing, offering a variety of activities that nourish every aspect of your being. From invigorating movement practices to restorative relaxation techniques, every element is designed to support your journey towards greater health and harmony.

Engage in life coaching sessions that offer valuable insights and tools to help you align your life with your true purpose, fostering a sense of empowerment and direction. Experience the healing power of Ayurveda with sessions focused on Wellbeing, teaching you ancient practices that bring balance to your life. We will practice some yoga and breathwork, followed by a foraging walk around Orchardleigh Estate to gather nature's medicinal plants which are nutrient rich to make some delicious recipes such as a spring tonic herbal vinegar, wild pesto and a herb salt.
Wild Water swimming will also be offered on our private 25 acre lake on the Estate.

The retreat also offers plenty of time for relaxation and personal reflection. Unwind in the soothing warmth of the sauna, followed by a refreshing dip in the cold plunge pool, revitalising both body and mind.
In the evenings, gather around the fire in our secluded Victorian Pulhamite rockwork garden—a perfect setting for meditation, reflection,
and connection to the earth.
To further enhance your sense of tranquility, immerse yourself in the calming vibrations of a sound bath, designed to balance your energy and restore inner peace. These therapeutic sounds will guide you into a state of deep relaxation, helping to release stress and tension.
