Retreat like it's 1999 ! 4 Day Digital Detox Retreat in Devon.

Join us for a tech free weekend.

Take a much needed break from endless scrolling, social media anxiety and decreasing attention span. 

Unplug and use this time to connect with fellow retreaters or re-connect with yourself.

Experience connecting with strangers in real life, rather than over a screen, share stories, laugh, cry, put the world to right, learn something new or remove yourself from the chatter, find a cozy nook or a seat in the garden in the spring sunshine, and explore your feelings.

Maybe you are searching for answers to a current conundrum ?

Why not bring a book you have always wanted to read or one that you never managed to finish ?

Maybe revisit a childhood favourite ?

Being disconnected from technology will allow you to be fully immersed in the healing power of reading. Guilt free !

This retreat will aim to feed body and soul....

This is a digital detox and we would appreciate for you to lock away your devices.

You will be given a phone number to pass on to your loved ones in case you need to be contacted urgently.

You will enjoy:

- 2 daily sessions of yoga, breath work and meditation with Rosie Robinson. 

- A vision board workshop with Florence Achery.

A picture is worth a thousand words ! Visualise your dreams & goals to inspire & motivate you.

- A crystal and Tibetan singing bowls sound bath, aiming to reset the nervous system and slow down the production of stress hormones.

- A labyrinth walking session - Eden Rise has its own outdoors labyrinth, perfect for a walking meditation and contemplation. 

- A fire ceremony - On the last evening, around the fire pit, hot chocolate in hand, we will release anything that doesn't serve us anymore.
