Re:connect

Are you looking to better connect with your teens or tweens (age 9+)? Our retreats are a unique opportunity to invest precious time in each other without the distractions of home.

re:connect, re:charge, re:energise

Enjoy new experiences focused around self care, creativity and movement designed to help you recharge and make memories together. This retreat is suitable for a parent and tween / teen or whole families booking multiple rooms. 

For children too old for a Santa's grotto visit, this is the perfect chance to spend some time together getting in the Christmas spirit, and building a refreshed bond. Think cosy log fires, warming Winter food, crisp walks and creative Christmas crafts.

Your two-night stay is in a luxury away-from-it-all house high on the Downs in East Ilsley - between Berkshire and Oxfordshire. The beautiful open plan accommodation features all ensuite bedrooms with beams, high vaulted ceilings and crisp linen.

It is in the most peaceful location on the Ridgeway with stunning panoramic views and walks. There is also a hot tub for guests to enjoy. 

The retreat runs from Friday at 4.30pm (or as soon as you can join us after school / work!) until Sunday evening.

The accommodation

The details

We will offer a series of workshops and activities designed to help you unwind and build your connection - from creative workshops to active sessions, and from a gentle introduction to mindfulness to games and pamper nights. All your delicious meals, drinks and snacks will be provided.

Over the course of the weekend, a sense of community will build amongst guests as you share meals, activities... and a lot of fun!

The itinerary, which may be subject to minor changes, includes the following. Each retreat will feature different workshops - we will ask guests for their preferences in advance and try to accommodate the favourites.

    • Two night's luxury ensuite accommodation 

    • Delicious, homemade breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks* 

    • A creative activity such as wreath making 

    • A mindful activity such as yoga and sound healing or breathwork, journaling or hypnotherapy

    • An active session such as archery, wood whittling or a fun workout

    • A Christmas cook-along

    • Down time to use the hot tub, read, nap, play a game, walk...

    • A games night and a pamper night

    • A locally sourced goodie bag
