Time Out Long Weekend
Description
• Reconnect with yourself in a peaceful setting devoted to wellness
• Switch off from daily pressures, ease stress, and restore your energy with nourishing cuisine, healing spa therapies, and mindful movement
• Leave the rush behind and step into a place where time seems to slow down
This restorative 3-day health retreat is created to help you unwind and fully disconnect in a dedicated wellness environment. Enjoy delicious organic cuisine and explore stress management through an exceptional wellness workshop, alongside a range of nurturing activities designed to bring stillness to both mind and body.
Set aside time to rest and release tension. With its emphasis on slowing down, this 3-day health retreat encourages a deeper understanding of the role calmness can play in your life. Gentle yin-based activities invite more quiet and stillness, while there is also ample time to relax in the spa.

On the final evening of this mindfulness retreat, you will be invited to enjoy one glass of celebratory organic wine as a gentle introduction to the healthy consumption of alcohol.
