THE GROUNDS
Our retreat is surrounded by lush, rustic gardens, embracing the natural beauty of the land. As you enter through Veale Road, you’ll walk past our orchard, abundant with a variety of fruit trees that change with the seasons.
We have two carparks—one near the main house at the top and another in front of the studio. You are welcome to park in either space.
The gardens offer a mix of wild and cultivated spaces, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. Whether you're wandering the pathways, resting under a tree, or listening to birdsong, our land provides a nurturing and grounding atmosphere for your retreat experience.

We provide a full range of high-quality equipment to support different events, including yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, straps, and meditation cushions, ensuring that every participant feels comfortable and supported.
The studio has a beautiful wooden floor, perfect for movement practices, and is adaptable to a range of experiences—from gentle somatic sessions to dynamic sound healing journeys.
