The Wellness Experience

Join this mindfulness sanctuary, designed to inspire connection with your inner self and the natural world around you. Immerse yourself in the magic of a mystery day tour offering a journey of holistic rejuvenation, where each moment is crafted to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

Board a luxury limousine bus where you will be guided by experienced, trained mindfulness facilitators, dedicated to building a toolkit that will support you long after you leave. These tools will empower you to live life with greater resilience and a sense of calm. 

Begin the day with gentle breathing exercises, grounding yourself in the present and preparing the mind and body for the day ahead. Flowing through a variety of Hills best nature-based locations cultivating a powerful mind-body connection, you will learn stress management techniques that are practical and assessable, designed to be incorporated into daily life.  

Immerse yourself in the ancient practice of forest bathing, a therapeutic experience that invites you to slow down and absorb the forest atmosphere. Walking among the trees, feel stress melt away as you breathe in the fresh, fragrant air and connect with the earth beneath your feet.

Savor the present moment with a mindful picnic, a nourishing experience that blends healthy, delicious food with the practice of eating with awareness. Here, you will engage all your senses, fully appreciating the flavours, textures, and the company of fellow retreat participants.

Let your creativity flow with nature journaling sessions, documenting your experiences, thoughts, and emotions.  This practice encourages reflection and provides a space for you to express yourself freely, enhancing your connection with nature and yourself.

As you embark, know that you are in a supportive environment, surrounded by like-minded individuals and facilitators who are here to guide and inspire you. A truly transformative experience that will leave you feeling refreshed, revitalised, and equipped with skills to live life more mindfully and resiliently.
