Retreat: noun: a quiet or secluded place in which one can relax.

We are combining relaxation, holistic therapies, and nutrition in peaceful carefully chosen locations.

 

Aim

We have designed a retreat specifically for dental professionals. The aim is to invite you into a safe environment with fellow professionals where you can physically and mentally relax, unwind and re-energize. At the same time, you will go back into the clinic with new knowledge and skills that will positively affect your health, the health of your family, and the health of your patients.

What's included?

Breathing, oral myology, and nutrition via presentations, workshops, practical exercises, discussion, and lots of space to just 'be'.

Buteyko Breathing.

This will particularly benefit snoring, asthma, poor sleep, low energy levels, and anyone including athletes looking to become healthier.

Gut health workshop
You aren't what you eat... you are what you absorb.
In this workshop, Nina will talk about everything gut related; from how it works in health to how it functions with disease, with a central focus on digestion and absorption, as this is so vital for wellbeing.
Fermentation workshop
Carrying on with the theme of gut health Nina will be providing a fermentation workshop.  Here you will learn how to ferment your own vegetables to introduce live cultures into your diet, which will boost the ecosystem in your gut. This is a hands-on session, and you will leave with your own jar of fermented vegetables.  Everything will be provided, feel free to bring extra jars just in case of leftovers!
Personal 1-2-1 food diary review.
Submit your 7-day food diary with any questions related to your diet/health, 1 week prior to the retreat and get a taster session with Nina over the weekend.
One-on-one treatments
Karon will be available for body massage, facial massage, and reiki. This will be first-come-first-served and it is suggested to pre-book.

Time to yourself.... and networking with access to our team throughout the weekend.

All meals from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime.

Accommodation and use of the facilities and grounds throughout the stay.

What are the timings? Arrive late afternoon on Friday and depart afternoon on Sunday.

Locations, Available Dates & Costs

We have been exploring the UK countryside and believe we have found the perfect location to host our first holistic retreats in a small village called Tetford, which is in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds. You will need to drive here 🙂

This is a former rectory, which has been specifically re-designed as a retreat centre. The light, colours, atmosphere and gardens provide the perfect surroundings for you to completely relax and unwind, learn some new skills and enjoy wholesome organic food grown locally. There will be time to just be, to walk, breathe and re-connect.
