“The snowdrop and crocus—both little pioneers of spring, brave and hardy scouts that dare to taste the frost and bring hope once again to the dead lands.”
As the days lengthen and warmth slowly returns, the frozen earth begins to soften. Yet late winter still asks us to tend carefully to our inner fire—not forcing ourselves towards spring, but gently nurturing the energy that will carry us there.
Do you tend to power through winter, resisting its invitation to slow down? Or have you retreated so deeply into hibernation that you’re beginning to crave movement, inspiration and connection?
This women’s retreat offers a nourishing pause between the depths of winter and the first stirrings of spring. Through therapeutic yoga, somatic movement, seasonal practices and time outdoors, we’ll explore the balance between warmth and rest, vitality and ease, movement and stillness.
There will be wild landscapes and quiet reflection alongside shared meals, laughter and the warmth of gathering together. Whether you’re craving spaciousness, creative renewal, meaningful connection or deep rest, this weekend is an invitation to listen inward and gently reawaken.
Set among the rolling landscapes of the Peak District National Park, our secluded cottage offers space to step away from everyday demands and reconnect with the rhythms of body, land and season.
MOVEMENT & EMBODIMENT
Explore creative and therapeutic practices blending slow Mandala Vinyasa, elemental yoga and somatic movement—building warmth, releasing held tension and awakening the body without depletion.
DEEP REST
Settle into embodied Yin, meditation, pranayama and restorative practices designed to soothe, replenish and create space within.
NATURE IMMERSION
Walk through the wild beauty of the Peak District, notice the earliest signs of spring and, if conditions allow, take an optional wild swim at Three Shires Head.
COCOON
Curl up beside the fire with a book, soak in the hot tub beneath the stars or simply enjoy unhurried time with nowhere else to be.
GATHER
Experience the warmth of women coming together—to practise, share stories, laugh, eat and feel held within community.
NOURISH
Enjoy delicious seasonal vegetarian meals, thoughtfully prepared by our private chef to comfort and sustain you throughout the weekend.
