RETREAT WITH ME, 2023

IN LUXURY

​

A new kind of retreat that your soul has been seeking. Will you deny yourself?

​

Join a small group for a truly transformational weekend of Yoga, Osho inspired meditation, Sacred Tea Ritual, Cacao Ceremony, Healing Sounds and more. Visit those places within you that you've been unable to reach and start moving through life with deeper clarity and new-found freedom. Catering is by an award winning chef. Think 5 Star Luxury all weekend!

​

WHEN

Arrive - Friday, 24 November 16:00

Depart - Sunday, 26 November 15:00

​

​

WHERE

Riversdale Lodge, Bourne End, SL8 5EB

 

Just off Junction 2 of the M40 and Junction 7 of the M4 - 40 minute drive from Notting Hill, 60 minutes by train from the City. Nearest train stations are Bourne End (15 minute walk) Beaconsfield (20 minutes from Marylebone plus 15 minute taxi) Maidenhead (25 minutes from Paddington plus 15 minute taxi).

 

The place is incredible! An oasis of calm! Although the photographs are nice I can honestly say that it looks even better in person. The owners rent out the property on Airbnb at £2,400 per night with a minimum night stay and it's worth every penny! You will get to experience the grandeur at a fraction of the price. It's a place you'll never forget.  If you're looking for a relaxing, nourishing, indulgent weekend to focus on your own needs, wants, health and well-being then this is for you! Use the time away to get a break from your everyday routines to give you that space needed to re-assess how you want to shape your life going forward. You will be supported, in a safe space to connect deeply with your heart's desires.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

​

The bedrooms are finished to the highest standard. They feature superb Sleepeezee beds with beautiful soft bedding and luxurious heated carpets. I have high standards and I am so excited to share this beautiful home with you for the weekend! When I viewed the property it took my breath away. It really has been renovated to the highest standard. Although the photographs are nice I can honestly say that it looks even better in person. Not many people will get a chance to stay in a place like this in their lifetime! The bathrooms are spacious and superbly fitted with marble surfaces and Italian fittings. The River Suite is exceptional, with stone tub and wonderful views of the river. I have included below the costings for shared occupancy. If you would prefer a room to yourself this can be arranged. Please get in contact and I can discuss your requirements. All beds are single, unless otherwise described. I'm confident it will be one of the most comfortable beds you've ever tried!
