Details

Begin 2026 by cultivating more space, ease, and grounding in yourself with our silent meditation retreat in beautiful Pylewell Park, a stately home by the sea in the New Forest, Hampshire. We'll be here for five days and four nights of peace, quiet, nourishing food, and support from experienced meditation teacher Nicola Temporal, and Jenny Clark, yoga teacher and founder of The Wild Times. We will have optional yoga classes in the afternoons - a mix of restorative yin and Yoga Nidra. Read books by the fire, journal, walk the beautiful grounds around the lakes or down to the sea, and eat delicious vegetarian food by Beth the Free Range Chef. This retreat has been specifically designed to support you into creating more ease and anchoring within yourself. It will include structured 'sits', A.K.A meditations, daily Q&As with Nicola Temporal, our lead meditation teacher, a supportive routine to allow you to relax into it, and gentle integrative practices including restorative yoga and beautiful walks in the acres of private grounds, around the lakes and woods or down to the sea. All communal spaces will be silent after our first day of settling in, to support this adventuring inwards. You are welcome to talk on your walks and away from the communal spaces. This retreat is for those who have some experience of meditation and have a desire to deepen their practice and open to silence in a more full way.

Location

The town's charming Georgian architecture and cobbled streets house a variety of boutique shops, cafes, and traditional pubs, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. As a popular destination for sailing enthusiasts, Lymington features two large marinas and a bustling harbor, making it a hub for nautical activities. It also serves as a gateway to the natural wonders of the New Forest, with its ancient woodlands and abundant wildlife, and provides easy ferry access to the Isle of Wight.

Your home for this retreat is Pylewell Park, a privately-owned estate in the New Forest is a place where time seems to soften, and nature holds you. Surrounded by sea views across to the Isle of Wight, woodland, lakes, and gardens, it is a haven of stillness and charm. You will stay in the main house, which The Wild Times has exclusive use of throughout the retreat; a beautifully curated space of history and heart. You can walk straight from the house across the lawns and down to the beach, where you may even spot a New Forest pony or two on the shoreline. Expect sweeping views, deep bathtubs, fire-lit drawing rooms, and quiet corners for reading, journaling, and simply being. Held at the breathtakingly beautiful Pylewell Park on the Hampshire coast, this is a chance to take a break from the noise of modern life, to reconnect with the quiet wisdom within, and to remember how it feels to simply be. In the New Forest, down by the sea on the outskirts of the Georgian market town of Lymington, you will find Pylewell. There is a long, sweeping tree-lined drive up to the house, which is usually used as a wedding venue. The grounds include woodland, lakes, and go all the way down to Tanner's Beach. There is a choice of twin rooms, shared doubles, or solo doubles. The rooms are all individually furnished and beautiful.

Schedule

Settle in before starting the retreat with tea, arrival snacks and our orientation talk with Nicola. The New Forest is in easy reach of London, the train is 1 hour 40 minutes to Brockenhurst and then you can get a taxi (20 minutes) to Pylewell. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will have the same rhythm and schedule, which helps to creates further holding and support with the meditation practice. Meditations will all be 30 minutes long, with breaks in between. There will be a walking meditation before lunchtime, and every afternoon there will be space for integrative practices of your choice. Jenny will hold a 60/90 minute restorative, slow and gentle yoga class that you can join, or you can walk, journal or rest. The meditation room will also be open during this time so you can meditate too. Tea will be served before further meditation practice, dinner and then a community Q&A with Nicola. Before bed we will have a short 15 minute meditation, to come back to yourself, before heading off to bed. Communal spaces will be silent, including meal times.
