Away with the Fairies
A weekend of wellness & wonder in the UK
16th-18th February 2024
Escape with us to the magical English countryside (Bedfordshire - less than an hour from London) for a mini retreat to warm up your winter. We'll be staying in a beautiful 17th century manor house shrouded in ancient tales, now used as a spiritual sanctuary and elemental sacred space.
Explore 50 acres of secret gardens along with wise old trees, an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a fire pit, two labyrinths (yes, LABYRINTHS!) and a yurt - earth, water, fire and air are all honoured across the grounds.
To protect the energy of this space, the gardens and house are filled with carefully placed crystals that support the intention that lies behind it. Even the drinking water has been energetically charged!
The intention of this very special place place is to be ‘a portal of light, to hold, to protect and to open the heart to healing and transformation. A space that brings harmony, integration, and balance. A space that allows us to safely surrender and see what wishes to emerge in us and our world.’
Here, your body and soul will find peace, nourished with yoga, sound baths, fairy tales, walks in nature, meditation, cacao, ecstatic dance around the fire and, of course, delicious healthy food.
Between scheduled activities, there will be plenty of free time for reading, journalling, swimming in the pool, exploring the labyrinths or simply relaxing.

Reviews From Past Guests
“I’m just back from this amazing holiday/retreat. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived. Sanya made us feel very at ease & welcome in a spacious & comfortable house. We were nurtured, cared for & fed the most amazing food. Sanya always went above & beyond with the meals all freshly made & with any amount of choice & delicious foods being served daily. The yoga was fantastic & Sanya is a brilliant teacher who spiritually and technically guided us in the beautiful garden & beach settings twice a day. Sanya catered for everyone’s different yoga abilities with ease & we all felt very relaxed & under no pressure. I learned a lot & love yoga even more now. The surfing, paddle boarding and beach trips were amazing too. We had such fun, the whole group were delighted with the retreat. Sanya & Tiago are super hosts & so easy going making us feel right at home. Fantastic trip, thank you.”
“Spent a week on Sanya Ormiston's retreat in Portugal in Aug 2019 run with Duck Dive Surf. I cannot recommend this lady and this retreat-holiday enough. Our every need was catered for and so much effort was put in to ensure we ate amazing home cooked vegan food by Sanya and had an amazing time each day. Sanya's style of yoga teaching is brilliant for all abilities, I felt so welcome at and home straight away and the energy was so positive. Accommodation and hospitality was spot on and a fantastic time was had by all.”
