OUR WEEKEND ABODE
The birthplace of Dick Whittington, Pauntley Court dates back to the 1350s and is a beloved family home that boasts a rich history and an abundance of character. With a 40ft kitchen complete with an Aga, panelled drawing room with enormous open fireplace, hot tub with the best view and beautifully finished bedrooms with White Company bed linens, you will be in complete comfort.
​
​All the modern luxuries you would expect from a 5 star property but loses none of the charm of it being a historic country retreat.
THE GARDENS
Be at one with nature with the beautiful garden and grounds at Pauntley Court. The formal gardens have been created by the current owner’s mother, forming individual atmospheric and magical rooms within which to wander. There is a hard tennis court which nestles beneath the house down by the river, glorious walks straight from the door across the farm and woodland.
JAY, THE YOGA GLOW
There will be at least four yoga sessions with Jay over the weekend, including meditation, pranayama and yoga nidra.
Morning sessions will be more dynamic to awaken the body and mind ready for the day ahead. In the evening we will tune our attention inwards with gentle and relaxing Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra. The retreat is suitable for all levels of ability, including those newer to yoga.
BECKY, WILD SPIRIT NATURALLY
Throughout the weekend Holistic Facialist and Nutritionist Becky will support and empower you to glow from within. Morning Glow sessions will gently detox, refresh and revive the skin,Â
whilst the Organic Beauty Workshop will help you learn more about Organic Skincare for your personal skin type, master your very own skincare ritual and learn how to get glowing and gorgeous skin all year round. Beauty is a journey, and Becky will provide you with the tools and techniques to incorporate sacred self-care rituals at home, resulting in naturally beautiful, healthy and thriving skin throughout the Retreat and beyond.
SOUND HEALING GONG BATH
On Saturday evening we will dive deeper into a serene, tranquil space of inner peace with a sound healing gong bath.
The sound of gong has a profound effect on people with most having the experience of floating in space, or in an ocean. Sound healing is one of the oldest and most ancient forms of healing dating back thousands of years.
