Hi there,

You know that feeling when you finally exhale after holding your breath without even realising it? That's what stepping into a retreat feels like for me. In this constantly moving world, we rarely give ourselves permission to just... be.

Like a lot of people, I used to think "retreats" were either painfully serious meditation marathons or fancy spa weekends. They're actually both so much more down-to-earth and magical than that. We're not escaping - we're coming home to what matters.

Never tried breathwork before? Curious about cold plunges? Always wondered what meditation is actually like? Retreats are the perfect place to explore. It's where so many of us found our start. But maybe the most transformative medicine are the people beside you. Nothing compares to the privilege of watching fellow human reclaims parts of themselves they thought were lost forever, right before your eyes. Including you.

This season, we're offering journeys that speak to different aspects of the human experience:

Explore the revolutionary Headless Way meditation approach that turns spiritual seeking inside out
Our Psychedelic Integration Retreat in Shropshire provides a safe container to process and weave meaning from your psychedelic experiences
Experience breathwork's profound altered states at a Grof Holotropic Breathwork weekend in London
Discover your authentic voice - both literal and metaphorical - at Our Living Voice in the Welsh forest
Connect with plant wisdom and ancient energies during our Magic of Avalon retreat
Honor loss and find community in the transformative space of Embracing Grief in Devon

For those ready to work directly with plant medicines, we have to extraordinary spaces to experience these life-changing substances in carefully held containers:

Journey with the ancient teacher plant ayahuasca at La Medicina retreat centre in the heart of the Peruvian jungle
Explore the powerful wisdom of psilocybin mushrooms combined with silent meditation with the Psychedelic Health Professionals Network in the Netherlands
Take a truly holistic approach to mushrooms and their integration with our partner Alalaho, also in the Netherlands

In a world where we're constantly flitting between tasks, notifications, and obligations, these retreats offer the rare gift of depth. Time slows. Awareness expands. And in that spaciousness, we often find exactly what we've been seeking.
