NEW YEARS RETREAT

3-night Retreat in Dorset
2nd – 5th January 2026
(FULLY BOOKED)

Back for the 4th time!

The very start of a new calendar year. A time of hope and new beginnings, and a powerful opportunity to get back in touch with ourselves, consider our priorities, be honest about what it is we truly need, and set meaningful intentions for the year ahead.

Beautiful, organic, and family-run Launceston Farm has proven to be the perfect place to retreat. We will have exclusive use of the underfloor-heated Workshop for our yoga and meditation sessions, the extensive walled garden, a giant sun terrace, and the orchard (with fire pit). There’s access to over 900 acres of organic farmland with miles of trails for walking. Plus we can make use of the luxurious, indoor (biomass-heated) pool and sauna. 

We will be cooked for by our private chef, all our meals will be plant-based, sustainably sourced and prepared from scratch.

As always, one of my massage therapist friends will be there for those who wish to add a luxury treatment to their weekend.

I will offer a blend of yoga practices including Somatics, Vinyasa style flowing sequences, Restorative Yoga, meditation, breathing practice, journaling, self-massage and deep relaxation. There will be 2 classes on Saturday and Sunday, and 1 class on arrival and departure day. I will also share a cacao circle and before-bed foot self massage. Walks and swims are of course optional, and there’ll be plenty of time to relax, snooze and stargaze. 

There are various options for our accommodation:

The Farmhouse offers beautiful single and twin en-suite bedrooms, and has two spacious reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, and a dining room. 

The Bothy is a stylish bolthole for two. It’s located on the ground floor next to the farmhouse, and has its own private outdoor courtyard with a bateau bath for alfresco soaks.

Flint is a luxury cottage for two. It’s a beautifully converted stable, on two floors, opposite the farm house. It also has its own private outdoor courtyard with a bateaux bath for soaking underneath the stars.

Check-in is any time from 4pm on Friday. Our opening circle is at 5.30. Check-out is at 10am after yoga and breakfast on Monday. For anyone wishing to eke things out a little longer – The Salt Water Sauna in Sandbanks is about 45 minutes away. I went here after check-out last time and loved it!

Investment:

  • £645pp for a twin room in the Farm House
  • £845pp for your own room in the Farm House 

  • £745pp for The Bothy or Flint Cottage (twin room)
  • £945pp for The Bothy or Flint Cottage all to yourself

A non-refundable deposit of £200 is required to secure your place (with the balance due 15th October). A limited number of places is available on a first come, first served basis.

Included are:

  • your accommodation at Launceston Farm
  • breakfast, lunch, dinner
  • 6 yoga classes
  • cacao circle
  • before-bed self foot massage
  • guided walks
  • use of pool and sauna
  • plenty of time for relaxing, reflecting and exploring
  • use of yoga mats and props

Not included are:

  • travel insurance
  • massage treatments

The friendly people at Launceston have provisionally reserved this weekend for us but we will need to get our deposits (£200 pp) to them as soon as possible to confirm our booking.  To make it all work we will need a minimum of 8 yogis. This would mean we will have the whole farmhouse, its walled gardens and orchard to ourselves. If we are a group of up to 14, we will use The Bothy and Flint Cottage too, and we would have exclusive use of the pool and sauna (if we are a smaller group we would have to share access to these with other guests staying in the cottages). 

As always, I am hoping to keep this a ‘for yoga friends and friends-of-friends’ retreat. This invitation is for you but feel free to invite like-minded souls.

Please get in touch via email if you have questions or would like to know more. If you wish to be part of this 3-night retreat in Dorset please let me know your first and second room choices. I’ll do my very best to make it happen and hope no-one will have to miss out..
