DORSET RETREAT

Friday 5th - Monday 8th September 2025

Dorset, UK

This retreat is for you if you’re ready to step up into your highest potential, but keep feeling held back by repeating patterns of behaviour that sabotage your efforts to find peace, joy, love, happiness and expansion.

This is a shorter, UK based retreat, to give those who can’t take a week off to travel abroad the opportunity to experience this powerful work.

We use the yoga philosophy to delve deep into the body and mind - releasing long held stuck emotion from the body and creating space to allow the mind to settle - we work with both yin and yang energies to find balance through the system, and restore optimal mind body synergy.

Expect challenging vinyasa yoga, somatic body work, restorative sessions through yin and nidra, breath work, meditations, activations and more.

What’s included

4 day retreat & 3 nights accommodation at the beautiful Launceston Farm

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, snacks and drinks (no alcohol)

Yoga classes, workshops, meditations, breath work sessions

Yoga mat, block, bolster, blanket, strap and eye pillow

LOCATION

The Farmhouse is located on a working organic farm in the Tarrant Valley on the Dorset/Wiltshire border, 5 miles from the Georgian market town of Blandford Forum and 15 miles from Sandbanks Beach and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

The team

Louise de Menthon

Louise will lead the retreat and teach all the sessions on yoga, mentoring, meditations, breath work and embodied movement.

yoga space

We will have a dedicated yoga barn, where we will spend many hours connecting deeply to body, mind, energy and emotion. This is our sanctuary, the most important space within the farm - where we will work into, alchemise and transform stuck patterns, stuck energy, tightness and restriction in the body. This is where we will come back into ourselves on a profound level - back into the hearts wisdom.

FACILITIES

The farm has a beautiful pool and sauna available for use. Free time can be spent here swimming and relaxing.

FOOD

Food is such an important component of the retreat. What we consume is a huge factor to how we feel and our capacity. We use only organic food and cook everything from scratch. Healthy, nourishing foods curated to The meal times are also such an important time for bonding, connection and community. It will be a big feature of the retreat!

We can cater for most dietary requirements, please let us know if you have severe allergies in your booking request.
