Details
I don’t believe you should be retreating from your life. I want you to fall so wildly, deeply, deliciously in love with your everyday existence that you never need to escape from it again. I want to show you how to make your every day life a playground for growing, feeling, manifesting, healing and transforming. Come and spend 5 extraordinary days with me, in my hometown of London. Allow me to take you on a magic carpet ride through the city I know and love. Think of me as Peter Pan bringing the magic of existence back to you. . This is NOT a retreat. This is The UnRetreat. You will not be sitting cross-legged in a circle for hours waiting desperately for lunch. We're going out into the world to live and feel it fully. Onto buses. Into markets. Through parks. Down strange streets. Into beautiful secret places. Into laughter. Into curiosity. Into the technicolour of life. I want to show you that life itself can become your daily spiritual practice. How a simple bus ride through a city can teach you something so profound about freedom. How letting your soul choose what you want for lunch can become a deep conversation with your inner desires. How getting lost can show you where control still has its claws in you. How unexpected beauty can break you open so all the light can finally get in. How strangers, streets, food, music, silence, rain, wrong turns, ridiculous moments and unexpected joy can all become part of your growth and evolution, when you learn to look at like through new eyes. This is new and revolutionary. This is for the person who's willing to let their heart and soul decide for once. This is for the person who's been waiting for a reason to do something brave and destined. This is for the person who's finally ready to take a leap of faith, spread their wings wide open and soar into the person they long to be. This is a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime UnRetreat, and there is a very real window in which it can happen. I need to have enough beautiful humans committed by 18th September to secure our London home and bring the whole adventure to life. If we reach that number, we go. If we don’t, I won’t force it. So if something in you is already whispering, shouting or throwing glitter at the walls saying YES!!! Please don’t leave it until the last minute., because this particular magical portal is only open for a little while. Five days in London with me. A city turned into a playground for your soul. My teachings woven through ordinary life, while we experience the joy of ordinary life together. This isn't to escape your existence, it's to fall in love with it.

Meals
Meals provided
Breakfast
Diets catered
Vegan · Gluten-free · Nut Allergy Friendly · Dairy-free · Vegetarian
Breakfast is included each morning, but lunch and dinner are intentionally left open because food is part of the adventure. Some days we may follow our senses through London’s street markets and food stalls, choosing whatever looks, smells and tastes irresistible. Another evening might find us in Chinatown with steaming bowls of noodle soup, somewhere tiny and delicious we stumble across, or gathered around one of our own apartment kitchens with ingredients we’ve chosen together. Nothing is rigidly prescribed. The culinary side of the UnRetreat is designed to feel spontaneous, sensory and alive, with everyone free to choose what they want and pay for their own lunches and dinners along the way.

A residents’ lounge and terrace at The Gate, giving our little crew somewhere to gather, decompress, talk, laugh and let the day land
