ESCAPE TO MARGATE
ESCAPE TO MARGATE
31 JANUARY - 02 FEBRUARY 2025
Join us in Margate this January to celebrate winter.
January can be a cold, dark, damp and for some a slightly miserable month. But we find ourselves falling a little more in love with winter each year and want to share this with you.
Winter is a time for rest, when trees lose their leaves, the earth cools, plants slow their growth.
It’s a time to nurture our bodies and our minds and to prepare ourselves for the rest of the year.
Winter is a season where cold water dips leave your body feeling so alive and your mind so clear. Where cold blustery walks along the coast and rough seas remind you of the power of nature.
We’ll wrap up warm, embrace the elements, move mindfully, eat delicious hearty meals and leave a little more in love with winter.
Classes will be nurturing, playful and energetic with some deeply relaxing stretching, down regulating breath work and acupressure pillow sessions too.
Participation in all of the activities is totally optional, if the idea of getting up to watch the sunrise doesn't appeal you’re very welcome to stay tucked up in bed. The classes will be suitable for all levels with modifications always available, we will always encourage you to listen to your body and move in a way that feels good for you.
We love curating menus, sourcing ingredients and cooking delicious things to bring joy to our friends and family, we will bring this vibe to our retreat. Meals will be relaxed, joyful occasions filled with laughter and delicious food. Please let us know your dietary needs and preferences and we will happily accommodate them.
THE STAY
We will stay in a beautiful house close to Walpole Bay with spacious living areas and a dedicated garden meditation room with a log burning stove.
Each of the bedrooms are gorgeous and equipped with double or kingsize beds. We will provide Haeckles products in all of the bathrooms to make your stay even more comfortable.
We will prepare delicious meals using carefully sourced ingredients. We will use seasonal fruit and vegetables grown by farmers committed to working to improve the environment rather than harm it. Meat will come from trusted whole carcass butchers who work with small herd, organic, free range farmers.
Please let us know if you have any dietary needs or preferences and we will happily accommodate them.
