This weekend is for you if:
✶ You are a woman
✶ You would love a relaxing and nurturing weekend away
✶ You want to connect with like-minded sisters
✶ You want to experience deeper relaxation and well-being
✶ You want to learn to surrender more to your body and your inner wisdom
✶ You want to learn life enhancing / rejuvenating practises that will nourish you going forwards
Why a women only retreat?
✶ When women come together there are things that happen for them that is not possible in a mixed environment. There is a deepening of self that unfolds within a supportive network of women of all ages.
✶ Women often seem to be in a transition which provokes the desire to go on retreat (considering the viability of a marriage, moving on from a corporate job, going through a rite of passage such as pregnancy, peri-menopause or menopause). Transitions are smoother with support.
The Venue
Braziers Park is situated within the Chiltern Hills, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We will be making the most of this! It is right on the edge of the village of Ipsden and close to the town of Wallingford. To the north lies Oxford and to the south, Reading.
The drive from St Albans to Braziers Park is 53 miles and takes just over an hour depending of course, on the traffic. We have chosen the start and finish time of the retreat to (hopefully) hit the ebbs from a traffic perspective.
Braziers Park is a community, a residential college and an architectural treasure. It was founded in 1950 as an educational trust, and is a continuing experiment in the advantages and problems of living in a group. Community members share responsibility for running the mansion house (a Grade II* listed building), 55 acres of land, organic kitchen garden and livestock, facilitating courses and organising events assisted by visiting volunteers from around the world.
We will all be sleeping in the mansion house in either a triple, twin or a single room. The rooms are all different shapes and sizes, comfortable but simple, with a variety of different views. Bathrooms will be shared.
There is plenty of communal space too.
The drawing room is the biggest room, with doors which open out onto a large level terrace that leads onto the lawn. There is a study and a library also there to use.
The Food
The food at Braziers will be vegetarian as well as wheat/gluten free for lunch and supper. At breakfast, both wheat/gluten free and wheat alternatives will be available. Braziers is renowned for delicious and creative home cooking. Food is locally sourced where possible or from the kitchen garden. There may be additional charges for special dietary requests.
