What is a retreat?

​

Simply put, Satori provides a beautiful and enchanting natural space for you to let go of the outside stresses of life, supported by the deeply healing qualities of the natural world.

 

Many studies highlight the importance and benefits of nature in releasing stress and improving our mental health and wellbeing. 

​

At Satori you can choose to 'just' retreat or add activities such as basket weaving, creative writing for wellbeing and wild food foraging. To unwind even further, you can also add a choice of therapies like reflexology or psychotherapy. We also offer standalone events and workshops.

​

Set in 22 acres of rolling hills, ancient woodlands and old flower meadows on one side of the Bolham Valley, Satori is a nature lover's dream that offers diverse and wild habitats for flora, fauna - and us.

​

We hope you become inspired by whatever you create here as well as having a grounding and nurturing experience. However you tailor your stay, our ambition is for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived.

​
