Summer Weekend Retreat


Connect to the calm of the natural world in the Forest of Dean countryside.

Hosted in a secluded venue in rural Gloucestershire, the weekend will include yoga, meditation and sound healing, plus plenty of time to relax and take in the surrounding wildlife.

The Venue

The ASHA Centre is a holistic venue which aims to deliver social and environmental change. The site has acres of outdoor space with an orchard, herb garden, labyrinth, pond and stream. Some classes will take place outdoors to make the most of the beautiful setting (weather permitting).

The rooms are quaint and all ensuite. They can be booked as a single or shared occupancy.

All meals are vegan-friendly. They are freshly made on site using locally sourced or in season produce from the grounds.

Classes, meals and accommodation are included in the price. You will also receive a gift of a candle from local business The Forest of Dean Candle Company. More candles will be available to purchase over the course of the weekend.

During free time between classes, you are welcome to sit in the grounds with a book from the on-site library, explore the local woodland, or (if you’re feeling brave!) have a cold water dip.
