The Kindfulness Retreat
8th - 11th August 2025
Near Glastonbury UK
Escape. Reconnect. Nourish.
Join me for a soulful weekend retreat of Kindfulness - nestled in a rustic countryside haven, just outside the magical village of Glastonbury. One of my big dreams and goals is to start hosting regular Kindfulness retreats, with the vision of creating in-person community events with Kindfulness at the core.
​
​I’ve been searching for the right venue for a while, but as a recovering perfectionist, making the leap hasn’t been easy. Then, a retreat centre I’m subscribed to announced a cancellation for 8th–11th August 2025—suddenly, a space was available with less financial risk than usual. I visited… and have decided to feel the fear and do it anyway and just go for it!
​
So.....This summer, you're invited to step away from the noise and into a space of calm, connection, and presence.
The theme of our time together: Kindfulness.
A gentle blend of Mindfulness, Kindness, and Gratitude—woven through nourishing practices and soulful connection.
This retreat is about more than slowing down. It's a chance to truly reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with a like-hearted community.
"A community practising understanding & loving kindness may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the Earth." - Thich Nhat Hanh
What's Included....
You’ll be guided through:
-
Morning meditations to welcome the day
-
Daily uplifting yoga and grounding breathwork
-
Yoga Nidra and gentle mindful movement to restore and release

Mindful walks through the beautiful countryside

The Venue
Our Venue: EarthSpirit Centre, Somerset
Just five miles from Glastonbury, on the edge of the peaceful village of Compton Dundon, you'll find EarthSpirit—a tranquil sanctuary nestled within the ancient, sacred landscape of Avalon. Surrounded by rolling countryside and flanked by two nature reserves, it offers the perfect setting for deep rest, reflection, and reconnection.
​
The retreat centre is housed within beautifully restored 17th-century farm buildings, thoughtfully converted to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. At the heart of the venue is a converted barn, with exposed oak beams, stone walls, underfloor heating, and a wood-burning stove. Skylights flood the space with natural light, creating an airy, uplifting atmosphere for our gatherings.
​
Set within seven acres of gardens and meadows, EarthSpirit offers a true escape into nature. The entire venue is designed with care for the environment and a deep respect for the land, reflecting its ecological ethos.
​
With all accommodation, the yoga hall, and dining areas on-site, everything you need is just a few steps away—making it easy to fully immerse yourself in the retreat experience. Known for its relaxed, friendly vibe and nourishing plant-based meals, EarthSpirit is a wonderful space for those seeking calm, connection, and a touch of countryside magic.
Get in touch with any questions....
I'm truly excited and deeply grateful for the opportunity to grow and nurture this beautiful community through offering this retreat.
​
If you have any questions—big or small—please don’t hesitate to reach out via email. I’ll be more than happy to help and will get back to you within 24 hours.

I hope you’ll join me in continuing to create gentle ripples of Kindfulness together.

With warmth,
