RETREAT OVERVIEW
Our Yorkshire retreat venue is the ideal place to experience nature in one of England’s biggest private and oldest Estates, boasting 3000 acres of rolling meadow pastures, ancient woodlands, heather moorland, wild reservoirs and meandering rivers. Located just outside the Spa town of Skipton, our venue is in a privileged location at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
A venue that enjoys a rich history stretching back over 900 years in the same family, which is being transformed by its 32nd custodian into a space for humanity to reconnect and regenerate our planet and our deepest selves in order to move into a world beyond dogma of all kinds and beyond the religious, political, economic and tribal divisions that have separated and disconnected us from our innate bond with the natural world.
This new Vision aims to be a 'force for good' for the wider community, and all retreat leaders are the healing channels for this new spiritual path of reconnection with the entire web of life.
