🌿 Winter Warmer – A One-Day Sanctuary of Stillness & Renewal

Ground, reflect & restore

Step into stillness, creativity, and seasonal joy with our unique day retreat at the beautiful Elmslie House in Great Malvern

Enter the enchanting embrace of Winter at Elmslie House in Great Malvern – an elegant, lightly restored Grade II listed family home filled with history, light, and quiet grandeur. Set in the heart of town, yet tucked away so the bustle fades, the house blends architectural beauty with a warm, intimate atmosphere.

As you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by high ceilings, generous windows that let in soft, winter light, and richly textured rooms — wooden floors, tasteful period details, and subtle touches that remind you this is both shelter and inspiration. The Hall, with its graceful proportions and natural glow, feels made for breath, expansion, and soulful practice.

In this wondrous space, you’ll flow through Zen Yoga, breathe with Qi Gong, and move through guided meditations — all framed by the calm, generous energy of Elmslie. Embrace the quiet magic of Winter with a soul-nourishing day to help you align with the season’s natural energy. As the world slows down, so too will we – turning inward, grounding deeply, and cultivating warmth from within.

You’ll learn to harness Winter’s introspective power, finding calm and clarity in the stillness. A special highlight of the day will be our smudge stick crafting session – a meditative, hands-on ritual that invites you to infuse your intentions into natural herbs, creating a powerful tool for seasonal cleansing and renewal.

This retreat is more than a day off—it’s a day attuned. A place to draw in the quiet strength of Winter, in a house whose walls themselves seem to breathe with peace. This retreat is a sanctuary for anyone seeking rest, reconnection, and ritual – a pause in the heart of Winter to restore your energy and awaken your inner light.

The day includes a delicious and nutritious lunch and refreshments.
