  • “ The retreat was fabulous. The setting was magical and beautifully grounding. I loved the walk up Moncreiffe mountain followed by the picnic in the garden. The history, heritage and magic all around were palpable. The morning yoga classes were excellent. The ceremony was transformative. It was wonderfully led, the music was incredible and it felt like home…”

    Roisin Branch

  • “In Alexandra’s world I realised time expands. So instead of always being late or just rushing to the finish, which is me all my life, there was time.“

    Leonie Gibbs

  • My time really exceeded all my expectations. Every detail had been thought through, from the little gifts in my room on arrival, to the well crafted schedule where one activity drifted seamlessly into the next throughout the day. It was the perfect balance between yoga, meditation, fun activities and delicious food. Alexandra and Flora were brilliant hosts.
