Details
Our Florence House retreat offers a warm and nurturing ambiance, surrounded by sea views, gardens, and the serene energy of the South Downs. It’s a place where stillness and inspiration naturally arise, inviting you to slow down and reconnect. The intent of this retreat is to guide you back to a sense of balance and ease through mindful practices and restorative rhythms. It is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in a setting that supports clarity, renewal, and deeper connection. We are excited to work with our talented chef, Djamila, who will prepare nourishing, creative, and delicious vegetarian meals (with vegan options). Using high-quality, locally sourced, and as-organic-as-possible produce, her food is a highlight of the retreat—both wholesome and inspiring. This retreat is designed to help you rejuvenate body and mind, reconnecting with your natural state of peace and balance. Each day will include morning vinyasa yoga, afternoon yin/restorative practice, and the option to join a massage and aromatherapy workshop. In your free time, you can explore Florence House’s beautiful grounds, walk the nearby clifftops, or join a guided hike across the Seven Sisters—a dramatic and deeply calming landscape. Whether you come with friends or alone, this retreat offers the perfect space to relax, restore, and reconnect.
