RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES
Step away to another world and hit pause on the endless stress and busyness of daily life in peaceful and blessed surroundings. Enjoy a gentle, guided meditation to relax and unwind when you arrive, with meditations to uplift and inspire the following morning. There is ample time for peaceful woodland walks to the shores of Morecambe Bay, quiet reflection in the gardens, or time with others in the Café.
Return home energised and refreshed, with a clearer perspective on life and renewed joy.
