The Spring Grounding | 13th-16th April 2027
An immersive four-day retreat on the edge of Dartmoor celebrating the beauty of the season – from garden to table.
Sink into the season
After the unhurried pace of winter, spring’s energy almost always takes us by surprise. It’s a quiet reminder that new beginnings are possible - and just as sap rises in the trees, we begin to feel a vital upward energy.
Spring has a way of encouraging us to awaken our senses, step outside, and welcome new ways of being. It is a season of renewal, of sharing vibrant, seasonal food, of crisp morning walks through carpets of primroses, cozy afternoons in the returning warmth of the sun, and taking time to notice the gentle beauty of the earth coming back to life around us.
In a world that often asks us to keep doing more, we wanted to create a space where there is nothing to prove and nowhere else to be. A place where meals are shared around a beautifully laid table, conversations unfold naturally, hands are busy creating, and time outdoors reconnects us with ourselves as much as with nature.
