Knowlton Court Nurturing Winter Retreat February 2024.

This retreat is the perfect way to "retreat" one last time during the long winter months, preparing you to re-emerge into the world in preparation for the warmer, lighter months ahead. Our retreats really are a sheer sensory delight, full of nurturing, restoring and renewing the mind-body-soul connection. 

Our first time at this stunning venue which is nestled in the heart of Kent, the garden of England, just over an hour from Chislehurst and 30 minutes from Canterbury, making it easily accessible.

Knowlton Court is a much-loved family home, steeped in history and set within a stunning and extensive country estate of over 1,900 acres.

We will be occupying the Dower House as our main home for the weekend. The Dower house is a charming Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house nestled within its own expanse of private, pretty gardens including its' own tennis court, right at the heart of the Knowlton Estate.

Guests at the Dower House enjoy its secluded location within the woods and its magnificent views of the Estate's extensive parkland. The Dharma Hall where our classes and teachings will take place, is within a stone’s throw from Dower House.

Hopefully the weather will allow us to explore the stunning surroundings and grounds of Knowlton Court Estate. 

To be able to share this stunning venue with you, whilst offering a weekend of yoga, meditation, holding space to deliver a real sense of belonging, rounded off with the most delicious vegetarian/vegan food, simply fills us with joy. 

To top off this weekend of pure nurturing, there will also be the option to book a massage, reiki or aromatherapy treatment with our very own Kristy Smith of KMS Therapy.
