The Sacred Garden

It's a gorgeous retreat space, created with much love and care, from the cosy bedrooms and living spaces to the walled garden filled with flowers and shrubs. Jennifer and Octavia are lovely and provided a quiet, nurturing presence throughout while always available to offer support if needed. Octavia kept us fuelled with her filling, nourishing smoothies, juices and soups which were delicious. I enjoyed the silence - it gave me time to just 'be' without any pressure to speak or listen and Jennifer's yoga and the cranio sacral session was gentle yet deep, enabling me to relax even further into the periods of group silent reflection. The entire experience has left me feeling physically energised, mentally calmer and with some helpful insights which have emerged since the retreat ended. 4 days felt like the perfect length of time for me but it still felt sad to leave so I hope to return again to deepen my experience further. We all need places like this to escape to from time to time and I'm very grateful to Jennifer for generously providing her space for us. I would definitely recommend it!

A safe welcoming space to be with myself, Jennifer and Octavia both held space beautifully over the 4 days I felt supported even without words.

The food was very tasty and supported the silence, allowing me to really slow down and taste all that I was consuming.

Space beautifully held. Cranio Sacral session was amazing. Felt some great shifts

Everything. Words ca not describe

I had the most amazing time doing the Silent Retreat during New Year's. Jennifer and Octavia are lovely and made my stay extremely comfortable. The room is spacey and beautifully decorated, the bed is very comfy. The shared bathroom facilities are great and you can take a nice and hot bath at any time. I would also like to highlight specifically the detox/cleanse - all the smoothies, juices, soups and salads were absolutely delicious and I never felt hungry at all. I had the most amazing massages from Jennifer and the cranyo session was insane and super helpful to me. The surroundings of Glastonbury are breathtaking, I did a hew hours of hiking every day and that really helped me ground and enjoy my time at the retreat. I would highly recommend doing this retreat to anyone looking for a spiritual place and even if you haven't done anything like that before. I also really loved the morning yoga classes. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my stay!

The whole experience has been transformative. The Yoga, the meditation and the food were all excellent

Having never done a silent retreat before I didn’t know what to expect. I loved this experience. Beautiful Jennifer and Octavia couldn’t have done more for their guests, Jennifer opened up her gorgeous home to make us more than comfortable. It was a perfect experience and I will be going back. A wonderful time for reflection and resolve and rest. A time to step out of the noise all around and experience peace and calm for three whole days. The detox food was delicious and prepared with care and love. To be honest I couldn’t fault this weekend. Even though the house is in the centre of Glastonbury (great for free time) there is not a sound from outside, even in the immaculate courtyard garden. Blissful. Thank you Jennifer and Octavia, I loved it

Jennifer is very talented at creating an entirely peaceful, nurturing space and she is able to curate a bespoke blend of yoga and bodywork (and detox/cleanse if you want that too) to work with where you are and what you bring. The house is like being in what a home should feel like and the resultant space is perfect for deep reflection and also for healing. Go if you can, it’s wonderful.

Jennifer was a wonderful calm centre to this yoga and detox retreat. I felt very held.
