Let’s re-treat

• You are invited to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to join me and a group of likeminded Women for a weekend of nurturing and nourishment in nature in the heart of the Norfolk Broads.

• Staying in the beautiful Grade II Thatched Mansion of How Hill House nr. Ludham, Norfolk, we will have exclusive use of the house and gardens.

• Arrive from 4pm on the Friday of your chosen Retreat, settle into your en-suite bedroom, enjoy a cup of tea on one of the window seats in the Sun Lounge, gaze out at the beautiful views of the River Ant and acres of Marshland and start to ease yourself into re-treating from everyday life, preparing for a weekend of nourishing food, nurturing movement, connection to nature and deep rest.

• Over your weekend, you will have the opportunity to be a part of the Opening and Closing Circle, enjoy a Restorative Yoga Session, Yoga Nidra practice and Soundbath Experience, as well as Morning Yoga, a Walking Meditation in How Hill Woods, the co-creation of a Nature Mandala, maybe some Singing and Chanting, as well as some time for yourself to explore the gardens, marshlands and broad or to chill and read a book or have a nap.

• All sessions are optional and you are free to take part in as many or as few sessions as pleases you. Please click here for the draft itinerary of the weekend.

• You will be fully catered for throughout your stay enjoying delicious vegetarian food freshly prepared by the How Hill House catering team. Specific dietary requirements and allergies will be catered for and teas, coffees and fruit will be available throughout your stay.

• Rachel connects with and follows the cycle of Nature and Her seasons and observes the Celtic Sabbats of The Wheel of the Year. Ceremony and Ritual play a large part in Rachel’s work, so expect some of this over the weekend of your Retreat. Your weekend will be interwoven with nature connection in various forms; from exploring and immersing yourself in the beautiful gardens of How Hill House in a walking meditation, to being guided through a nature inspired Yoga Nidra Practice, Earth Honouring Yoga practices and possibly taking our Yoga Practice/s outside if the weather is kind for us.

Your retreat location
