Rest & De-stress weekend Retreat
Holwell Holistic Retreats Centre
North Devon
19 - 21 June 2026
Your Invitation
The Rest and De-Stress Weekend Retreat is an invitation to slow down, do less, and reconnect with a gentler pace of life amidst the busyness of everyday demands. If your mind feels overwhelmed, your to-do list never seems to end, and your body feels achy, tired, or depleted, this weekend offers a true pause. A space where you don’t need to strive, achieve, or fix anything — simply rest, nourish, and receive. Rooted in a holistic understanding that body and mind are deeply interconnected, this retreat supports you in settling your nervous system through beautiful yoga and restorative practices, thoughtful workshops, and nourishing food. There is also spacious, unstructured time to sleep, rest, read, walk, or simply be. A gentle reminder that it’s okay to slow down, to do less, and that rest itself is deeply restorative.
The Retreat
This two-night retreat takes place at the beautiful Holwell Holistic Retreat Centre, tucked away in the rolling countryside of North Devon. The lovingly restored farmhouse offers a calm, luxurious home-from-home, with cosy shared and private rooms, crackling log-burning stoves, and a tranquil private garden inviting you to slow down and settle in. The retreat is guided by Helen, an experienced yoga teacher and trainee yoga therapist with a deep specialism in supporting stress, burnout, and nervous system fatigue. Drawing on her trauma-informed approach and embodied understanding of how the body and mind respond to prolonged busyness and overwhelm, Helen offers practices that are deeply restful, intuitive, and nourishing. Each session is carefully held to support you in softening, restoring, and feeling safely supported as you rest more deeply than you may have in a long time.
