Wonderful Wellness Weekend 1st - 4th May 2026
Ready to recharge, reconnect, and have a seriously good time? 
Join us at Wern-y-Cwm Farm, the UK’s hidden gem for feel-good escapes on a four day, three night retreat (with the option to add an extra night before or afterwards).
Come solo (lots do!), or bring your partner, bestie, or mum - everyone’s welcome. Spend your days soaking up nature, tucking into amazing home-made food with locally sourced ingredients (both meat or veggie), floating off in a blissful gong bath, hiking up the Skirrid Mountain (with views over 7 counties), or chilling with Hatha yoga, massages and contrast therapy in the stunning natural swimming pool followed by the lovely sauna or soak in the hot tub with an incredible view.
And because we don’t take ourselves too seriously, there’s time for exploring Offa’s Dyke with a walk down to our 11th century country inn for a meal, castle-hopping, and hanging out with our adorable miniature donkeys who are bound to want to play.
Treat yourself (or someone you love) to the ultimate long weekend reset. Deposit: £200 secures your place. For more information, click here

31 Oct - 3 Nov 2025 The Sweet Life Retreat
The Sweet Life Retreat was launched in 2024 by Megan Brown and Charlie Faulkner with a singular goal of reminding people that life can be sweet. We combine yoga, meditation and sound with breathtaking nature, delicious home cooked food and a vibrant community inclusive of all genders, ages and walks of life to nurture our energy together and embody total sweetness.
Yoga teachers, soul sisters and besties Charlie and Megan will be guiding you through this journey of sweetness. Yoga brought us together and changed everything for us, and we want to share that with you. Both will lead you through nourishing, soft yet strong practices which will cultivate your internal fire to leave you feeling truly alive. Yoga styles will include but aren’t limited to: elemental & mandala vinyasa, yin & restorative yoga, plus sound healing.
Expect to laugh, grow and love intensely through these days together. Community is the most important thing to us.

“Remembering our Wholeness" Yin / Insight Yoga & Buddhist Mindfulness - Silent Retreat with Olivia Clarke & Sandi Sharkey (returning 3rd time)
Returning for the third year running, Olivia loves to guide people into the depths of Winter. Wintering is an invitation to deepen, hibernate, rest as the Earth does, gather collectively around roaring log fires, as we winter together and enjoy the nourishing beauty of silence, deep yin, and wisdom of Maitri. Wisdom is a slow, gradual deepening, blooming, flourishing, as we come to know ourselves, in more loving ways. Maitri is the practice of making friends with ourselves, unconditionally and wholeheartedly. You sit with yourself. You move closer, no matter what’s going on. You don’t try to get rid of anything. You recognize your humanity. You learn to stay. Maitri strengthens us with stability and steadfastness. It also softens us. You are invited to rest back and relax deeply into the present moment.
These retreats are exceptionally popular, so book early to secure your place.

Women only guided walking adventures with Wild Rambling (returning 2nd time)
The curving mountain ranges around Brecon have long been one of the iconic images of Wales, and now the name of this beautiful landscape is also unmistakably Welsh, as the Brecon Beacons has officially switched to using its Welsh name, Bannau Brycheiniog – or “the Bannau” for short. Not only are we perfectly placed to explore the eastern part of the National Park, the Wye Valley isn’t too far away either. We expect this holiday to be at a moderate level - with walks up to 10 miles a day, and some ascent and descent involved.
