This weekend retreat aims to provide the best conditions for you to unplug, de-stress, totally re-set and revitalise your whole being. Everything from the peaceful location, simple accommodation, lovingly prepared food and authentic teaching contribute to creating a environment of 'radical soul re-wilding'.

We gradually become disconnected from our bodies, each other and the natural world.

You will be skilfully guided by Marina into a happier, healthier body, breath and mind-space. The full and varied weekend programme will include taught sessions, free time for your self and time for fun and sharing.

The Teacher: Marina White Raven is an internationally recognised teacher and facilitator with a uniquely playful style and loving presence. She will create a full programme of yoga, body and breath work, deep relaxation, mindfulness and meditation and share accessible ways into creativity and the magic of the natural world. The Venue: Monkton Wyld Court (Education Centre for Low Impact and Sustainable Living) is a large country house and grounds in an idyllic eleven acres of gardens, meadows, woodland and farm, located in a secluded valley within walking distance from Lyme Regis and Dorset’s famous Jurassic coast. The centre is maintained by a resident community and works to develop and promote a lifestyle based on mutual respect for each other and for the natural environment. Accommodation: The main building is a charming Grade II listed rectory built in 1848 as an early Victorian example of neo-Gothic architecture, with lots of character and charm, period features and wonderful panoramic views of the countryside and heated by wood-burning stoves. Accommodation is simple, comfortable shared or single rooms. Food and Nutrition: All meals are vegetarian, organically grown and locally sourced. The walled vegetable garden provides the community and guests with fresh homegrown food all year round, home-made yogurt and milk are from their own Jersey cows and eggs from their own hens. Vegan diets and food allergies can also be catered for.
