Botanical Bliss one-day retreat

Step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and dedicate a day to self-care and your wellbeing with our Botanical Bliss retreat.

We understand that a multi-day retreat isn't always practical, so we’ve created this rejuvenating one-day experience just for you. Give yourself the gift of time to unwind, refresh and reconnect.

Join us for a thoughtfully curated day featuring expert-led activities, a delicious healthy vegetarian lunch, and the chance to connect with like-minded individuals in the serene surroundings of the botanical gardens.

Dates and times

Botanical Bliss is taking place on Friday 25 April 2025, from 9.30am until 4pm. 

Activities

The day's restorative activities include:

  • Yoga Session with the YogaSmiths: Stretch, strengthen, and energize your body in this guided session suitable for all levels.
  • Watercolour Workshop: Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of watercolour and get creative. 
  • Sound bath experience. Relax and rejuvenate as you’re enveloped by the soothing vibrations of sound therapy.

No prior experience is required for any activity, just come as you are and enjoy!

Morning refreshments and a healthy lunch will be provided.

What to bring

We'll supply any equipment needed for the activities. You're welcome to bring your own yoga mat if you have your own and prefer to use it.

To ensure your comfort and enjoyment, we recommend:

  • A cosy layer, blankets and a pillow to help you fully relax during the sound bath session. You will be laid on the floor. There will be space to leave your belongings in the room until the sound bath session. 

Cost

The retreat is priced at £65 for members and £70 for non-members.
