Knowlton Court Yoga & Art Retreat February 2025
A perfect way to "retreat" one last time during the long winter months. This retreat will give you time and space to shed those heavy winter layers, allowing you to re-emerge into the world feeling lighter, centred and fully refreshed ready 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 and our retreat here will most certainly not disappoint. Especially as we are absolutely delighted to be teaming up with Sarah Hamilton. Sarah is an exceptional artist who has spent many years teaching art in schools, inspiring the next generation of artists. Sarah will be leading an art workshop for us, where she will guide you into creating your very own masterpiece to take home and admire.
Knowlton Court is a much-loved family home, nestled in the heart of Kent, the garden of England. It truly is steeped in history and set within a stunning and extensive country estate of over 1,900 acres. It is just over an hour from Chislehurst and 30 minutes from Canterbury, making it easily accessible.
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 set within its own expanse of private, pretty gardens including its' own tennis court, located 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, including a working stables and the Estates very own church.
To be able to share this stunning venue with you, whilst offering a weekend of yoga, meditation and art, all whilst holding space to deliver a real sense of belonging, completed 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 reflexology treatment with two of our exceptional Deva therapists, Kristy Smith of KMS Therapy and Sue Spinks of Pura Serenita.
