Highly recommended by The Guardian our beloved long-running Mindfulness for Wellbeing weekends are for anyone seeking luxurious, deeply nourishing retreats in breathtaking surroundings.

Mindfulness for Wellbeing weekends, rural Norfolk

Your retreat experience

We created our treasured Norfolk Mindfulness for Wellbeing weekends ten years ago after searching for a luxury UK mindfulness retreat informed by a secular, nurturing approach and set within a small group of under 12 guests.

Our long wish-list included: an outstanding, plush countryside venue; solo occupancy ensuite room options; fabulous food where washing and clearing up are blissfully taken care of; soft relaxation practices weaved around a central thread of mindfulness; space to slow down and rest into replenishing quiet time surrounded by peaceful open countryside.

When we couldn’t find everything we were seeking we created our own format - and our boutique Mindfulness for Wellbeing weekends were born! A few years later they were reviewed by the Guardian’s travel editor at the time - and 2025 marks the retreats’ tenth birthday, having welcomed hundreds of people to Norfolk with us.

We love every minute of hosting our boutique mindfulness weekends in rural Norfolk: a chance to leave technology behind, drop down some gears and live well amongst exceptional surroundings in an intimate group with an average of eight-to-ten guests; to shake off winter blues and retreat to the big skies and rolling countryside of this lovely corner of England.

Guests socialise as much or little as they wish, with the group coming together at mealtimes and for practice sessions. We leave plenty of space between led sessions, leaving time for you to do as you need, whether that’s rest, read, luxuriate in a warm bath or take a walk from the door.

Often there is companionable, relaxed silence as guests enjoy space to read or sit quietly with a cup of tea: the slow, peaceful, ‘ordinary’ moments of which retreats - and at times, everyday life - are made.

Guests are asked to enjoy leaving cars parked up for the duration, staying within the immediate retreat environment.

Our Norfolk retreats are hosted by Satvada co-founder and mindfulness teacher Lucia Cockcroft and yoga therapist Vikki Stevenson. Between them Lucia and Vikki have over thirty years’ wide-ranging teaching experience in the UK and overseas.
