This is your opportunity to step away from everyday life for the day and enjoy a beautiful combination of movement, relaxation, nourishing food, nature and time just for you.
The day has been intentionally designed to feel relaxed and unhurried. The itinerary below is a guide, and timings may move slightly as we make our way through the day.
YOUR RETREAT DAY
9:30–10:30am | ARRIVE, SETTLE & WELCOME
Arrive anytime from 9:30am, get comfortable and take some time to settle into your surroundings.

There is no rushing. This first hour is simply about arriving and switching off.

Cold plunge & outdoor cold shower
For those who would like to experience the cold, both the plunge and outdoor cold shower will be available.

Immersive headphone relaxation
While other guests are using the sauna and cold facilities, the Pilates room will become a calm relaxation space.
Put on the headphones, get comfortable and enjoy an immersive guided relaxation away from everything else.
There will be time for everyone to enjoy the different elements without feeling rushed.
3:30–4:00pm | SHOWER, CHANGE & RESET
After the sauna and cold experience, there will be time to take a warm shower, get dry and change into something warm and comfortable.
We’ll then make our way to the roundhouse.

We’ll meet together at the roundhouse with the fire lit and take some time to simply slow down.
A chance to chat, reflect on the day and enjoy the surroundings.
5:00–5:30pm | JOURNAL, REFLECT & RELAX

A LITTLE NOTE BEFORE YOU COME
This day isn’t about fitting as much as possible into a schedule.
It’s about giving yourself permission to slow down.
Move your body. Eat good food. Get outside. Try something new. Sit around the fire. Talk. Laugh. Be quiet. Rest.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
For one day, just arrive and let everything else wait.
