Sometimes it's really good to take more than just a couple of hours for yourself...so I've created
the FEEL LIGHTER Weekend Retreat
19th - 21st March 2027
RESERVE YOUR SPACE FOR £150 DEPOSIT
A few magical days in a beautiful Somerset setting, sitting at the foot of the Quantock Hills within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and a short stroll from the sea, you get to take time to rest, restore, explore and also discover/expand your creative spark.
AND, what makes this weekend even more special, is that it is the Spring Equinox on the Saturday! So you can take this weekend to become lighter as the seasons bring us more daylight hours as we move from Winter to Spring.

It's not just “a painting workshop” or a "wellness weekend"
It’s time filled with creativity, wellbeing & mindfulness.
You’ll leave feeling lighter after enjoying time in a truly gorgeous corner of Somerset... nestled in meadows surrounded by woodland, and close to the sea too, so you get to enjoy Nature in all it's Spring beauty.
And you can also spend time relaxing in the heated swimming pool, jacuzzis, sauna and even brave the ice baths!

What’s included in your weekend:
- Accomodation is three beautifully decorated twin bedrooms in the Cottage (one bedroom is en-suite and two share a bathroom)
- There are also three Shepherd Huts, each with a bathroom, cosy living space, a pulldown double bed, wood fired hot tub and private outdoor area to take in the stunning views across the meadows across to Wales
- Catering: Nutritious meals (gluten, vegetarian and vegan options) served in the beautiful covered outdoor banquet hall, or indoors in the dining room or kitchen dining area.Meals will be: Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday. A goody bag for the trip home
- plenty of yummy snacks too!
- fully guided Art Workshops
- a relaxing Sound Bath on the Friday, to fully relax your way into the weekend
- Time to yourself, to swim in the outdoor heated pool, or the jacuzzi or ice bath. There is also a beautiful sauna to enjoy too.
- coastal and country walks on your doorstep, perfect for those who like to explore
- AND you will have the optional extra of booking yourself an Indian Head massage or Full Body massage - time to fully relax and in the Spa treatment room

Because sometimes, the most productive thing you can do…
is PAUSE.
And this is your permission to do just that.
To step away from the busyness, slow down, reconnect with yourself and simply enjoy time to be...
Time to breathe.
Time to create.
Time to reset.
Think of it as a weekend of pausing to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. Leave feeling nourished, warmly restored and full of light.

Q&A:
Q: Do I need to be creative or "arty"?
A:
Absolutely not, this weekend is about letting in the lightness… as it’s Spring Equinox, the time when our days start to get longer and we emerge from our long Winter, this is time to simply pause and rest and recharge, so we lighten ourselves too.
Being in the flow of creating will give you this so beautifully. I also guide everyone throughout their time in the Studio. Creativity is more about enjoying the process than creating "gallery worthy" art.
Q: What is a Sound Bath?
A:
A sound bath is a deeply immersive meditative experience where soothing tones and vibrations gently guide the mind and body into a state of calm and balance.
It helps your nervous system relax, eases stress and anxiety, and supports balance in your body, mind, and energy.
Laura will play himalayan bowls, crystal quartz bowls, a sea drum, buffalo drum, a rain stick, koshi chimes, and seed shakers to create carefully curated frequencies that guide you gently to feel totally relaxed.
Q: Where is the retreat?
A:
Old Rectory House
Sea Lane, Kilve
Somerset, TA5 1EG
Q: How do I get there?
A:
There is plenty of parking space at the venue if you choose to drive. Old Rectory House is easy to find by satnav.
I can arrange car sharing if locations work and guests are willing to share their costs.
For those coming by train, the closest station is Taunton. Transfers from the station to the venue are not included in your cost but I can arrange them for you. The journey from the station is 30 minutes by taxi.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I am really looking forward to sharing this beautiful space with you,

Share
