Retreat Programme

You are welcome to arrive from 4.30pm on Friday afternoon and dinner is served at 6.30pm. If possible, we suggest that you arrive in time to settle into your room before dinner. Two (2) day programmes finish at 3.00pm on Sunday and three (3) day programmes finish at 3.00pm on Monday.

Your daily programme during the retreat is based on an Ayurvedic lifestyle and includes:

• Morning and evening lifestyle practices to start and finish your day.
• Daily yoga practices – this may be one or two a day and encompass asanas, pranayama, chanting and meditation.  No previous yoga experience is required.
• Delicious organic vegetarian meals prepared in accordance with the principles of Ayurvedic nutrition. There is also the opportunity to spend time in the kitchen and get some hands on experience.
• Workshops to explore the philosophy and practices of Ayurveda and Yoga.
• Time-out for you to explore or reflect or catch-up on some sleep or just hang out around the fire and chat. 
• A range of traditional Ayurveda preparations to taste, smell and apply throughout the weekend.
• The opportunity to browse through a comprehensive range of Ayurveda and Yoga books.
• Special movie nights – we have a range of movies to suit the various themes of the retreat and in winter especially there is nothing nicer than watching a movie around the fire with a blanket and a spiced milk.
• Evening meditation practice in the Chapel – a very special experience.

You will also receive a comprehensive information booklet on Ayurveda and Yoga and a gift bag of goodies to support your Ayurvedic lifestyle during the retreat.
