Through joyous choral singing sessions with Charles and Charlotte, participants discover the freedom of their voice, unlocking new levels of expression and confidence. Pilates sessions with Amanda focus on the breath, aligning the body, and promoting balance, vitality and mindfulness. Together, singing and movement create a powerful combination that helps release tension and promote deep well-being. Our stunning environments invite guests to unwind, re-energise, and take in the beauty that surrounds them. These retreats are as much about exploring the world around you as they are about exploring within.
