The SaNCTUARY RETREAT

AUTUMN 2024

I am delighted to announce that I am hosting a Sanctuary Retreat IN Autumn 2024 at the serene and peaceful surroundings of Swanaford Estate in Devon & the luxurious Weeke Barton hotel featured in Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique hotels .

This bespoke retreat is a blend of fitness and wellness activities that incorporate a combination of uplifting & strengthening yoga, hikes, wild swimming, restorative yoga & a vineyard tour.

The Sanctuary is a safe, welcoming, and supportive space for women to escape the demands of everyday life and focus on fueling and building strength within their bodies and minds.

The VeNue

You will be staying at Swanford Estate set in 50 acres of rural tranquility. The estate has three cottages with stunning views of the countryside and overlooks the Swanaford Vineyard and is on the edge of Dartmoor. The River Teign runs through the estate which you will have private access to for wild swimming & paddle boarding. A stone's throw away from the cottages we have taken over Weeke Barton hotel, a grade 2 listed building that oozes soul and has tales to tell. Think muted tones with the occasional bursts of colour, exposed beams, granite fireplaces. It ticks all the boxes. With views of the rolling hills, woodland and pastures. Look up at night and you feel you can touch the stars.
