T H E : I N V I T A T I O N
31st January - 3rd February 2022
This sold out retreat is back and even better with an additional night to really allow yourself to fully arrive.
You are invited to join Francesca for a soulful, restorative, nourishing 3 night 4 day retreat in the tranquil countryside of Norfolk, UK. This is a call to allow yourself to soften into ‘being’, to reconnect to all that we are. To meet with what is there. To welcome in a more softer way of being and a slower way of moving.
Francesca will be sharing those magical and deeply soul nourishing practices of Yin Yoga, Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra not forgetting hosting her monthly ceremony called ~Together which is a ceremony offering cacao, dance and ritual.
The intention of this calling is to nourish you from the inside out as we come together remembering and already knowing the need and importance of community and togetherness.
T H E : V E N U E
Only 1.5 hours away from London by train or 2.5 hours by car with lots of on site parking.
This magical venue is surrounded by 21 acres of gardens, woodland, lake and river in Norfolk. We will be staying at The Barn which is beautifully renovated spacious space filled with a mixture of Double and Twin rooms as well as 2 Triple rooms with ALL rooms having their own on en-suite bathroom.
The Barn includes a seated area with a fire burner and sofas, a private garden, a dining space where we will be sharing our meals and a separate space which we will use for our yoga practice, meditation and ceremony.
The venue supplies all props for our Yoga practice such as mats, blocks and bolsters however should you wish to bring your own you are more than welcome to.
All meals are catered by our private chef Alice Mackinnon. Expect organic, delicious, healthy and nourishing plant based soul food meals.

I am so excited that once more I am bringing on board my friend who will be our personal onsite chef Alice Mackinnon. If you were here last time you will remember just how delicious her food was. If this is your first time… you are in for a treat. She has 15 years under her belt and specialises in plant based food, Ayurvedic cuisine and views food as medicine. Alice works as a private chef, holds workshops and she also works on developing and improving recipes collaborating with well known brands such as KUJI, Rebel Kitchen and The Coconut Collaborative.
How to get here:
Train: The nearest station is Downham Market, with direct trains from London Kings Cross taking only 90mins.
Once you get to Downham Market you can get a taxi or pre book one from one of the taxi number provided below:

Arrival time for the retreat is 5pm. I would recommend to take the direct train from Kings Cross where you will arrive at Downham Market. The drive to the Retreat takes about 30mins from the station so I would recommend sharing a Taxi to share the cost.
