Join us for a weekend of intentional playfulness and whimsy — dance through the flowers, roll down the hills and shine in the firelight. Tune into the tastes, scents and rebirth of the season with guided walks up Brendon Hill in the Cotswolds, drawing sessions and centering exercises using pottery and printing techniques.

A daily practice of yoga, meditation, writing and art anchors the weekend and deepens connections with sub-conscious thoughts and dreams to bring them into alignment with the natural rhythms of Spring. It’s a space of co-creation with the opportunity to build and offer to the group.

Let nature surrounds you. Collect clippings, curate your own wildflower bouquet and take home cuttings from Upper Court’s Spring garden and grounds, with expert advice to get your home garden going from House Gardener, Bill.

Indulge in cold plunges, sauna sessions and the wood-fired hot tub.

Also take home the start of an independent daily practice of meditation, yoga and writing to create an intentional season — and launch the Summer of your Life.

Included:

• Weekend stay at Upper Court including meals (alcohol-free)
• Guided walks and nature drawing sessions
• Nightly fires with access to pool, sauna and hot-tub
• Daily yoga and meditation sessions
• Writing and art techniques 
• Take-home wild-flowers and garden cuttings

The Retreat includes 2-3 nights at Upper Court Estate, located on the edge of The Cotswolds in the walkable village of Kemerton with home-cooked seasonal meals, daily yoga sessions and countryside walks. (Starting at 5pm on Friday and ending at 2pm on Sunday.)

The weekend will begin at 5pm on Friday evening with a walk, shared supper and a gathering around the fire and close on Sunday afternoon with a guided countryside ramble. The weekend will be full of homemade soups, sourdough bread, salads, roasted meats, garden picked  herbal teas, fresh fruits and veg. It’s an alcohol free weekend.

Choose a single shabby chic room with an english antique four-poster bed or share a double room, prices very depending on room. As an extra perk, add an additional night stay while continuing with your own practice independently at no extra charge. Full weekend including food and guided sessions: 

• £350 for a double
• £515 for a single four-poster bed.
