This workshop will empower you to incorporate Ayurveda into your daily life. and how to look after your self during the seasonal shifts.
Ayurveda will be a key theme explored in many of the meals, where The Good Food Physician, Dr Phoebe Gallagher inspired by the ancient practice will take on a modern approach to the dishes with infused spices, confident flavours and seasonal produce.

The Gold Rush Retreat
Sky Dome Yurt Life
There is nothing quite like staying in a Yurt. A simple yet magical dwelling with wooden lattice walls and radial rafters, it evokes a sense of the exotic. All Yurts are well-spaced ensuring seclusion and privacy. Each is luxuriously furnished with a comfortable seating area and they are individually styled with sheepskins, cosy Donegal tweed woollen blankets, heavy 15 Tog duvets, fluffed pillows and crisp white linen. All have beautiful views of lake, mountain and forest.
The Lodge
The Lodge is a communal amenity & social hub for retreat guests. It has a very large space area perfect for our movement classes, including toilets and hot showers. Its main feature however is the striking Reciprocal Room, a lounge area bathed in light with spiralling beams overhead, offering sweeping views of lake, forestry and mountains
