4 Day seasonal yoga, meditation, guided walks, sound bath, cold water dipping, talking circles, star gazing & more... digital detox weekend retreat - Unplugged yet connected!
About the Event
Join us for a tech free weekend.
Take a much needed break from endless scrolling, social media anxiety and decreasing attention span.
Unplug and use this time to connect with fellow retreaters or re-connect with yourself.
Experience connecting with strangers in real life, rather than over a screen, share stories, laugh, cry, put the world to right, learn something new or remove yourself from the chatter, find a cozy nook in one of the sitting rooms, enjoy the warmth of the wood burning stove and let yourself day dream.
Maybe you are searching for answers ?
Why not bring a book you have always wanted to read or one that you never managed to finish ?
Maybe revisit a childhood favourite?
Being disconnected from technology will allow you to be fully immersed in the healing power of reading. Guilt free!
This retreat will aim to feed body and soul and prepare you for the forthcoming festive season....
This is a digital detox and we would appreciate for you to keep your devices in your room.
You are also welcome to ask us to keep your device for you, in a secure location, if you prefer.
