Wide swathes of open heather, distinctive dales and tapestries of biophilic hues, the Yorkshire Moors have been immortalised throughout history in books, both fact and fiction. Their untamed quality makes them the perfect backdrop on which to set a story, but what about those wanting to start a new chapter amid the chaos of the modern day? The Tree Relaxation Retreat is an award-winning, all-encompassing, holistic approach to relaxation, restoration and the reassembling of fractured thoughts. Amid the wild setting, a soothing blend of yoga, meditation, delicious vegetarian food and holistic treatments can be enjoyed as part of an intensive five-day silent retreat – intended for deep reflection – midweek retreats or mindful weekends.

NewWave Retreat, West Sussex
Every month, with the West Sussex coast as its backdrop, the NewWave Retreats welcomes guests who are keen to take a proactive, go-getting approach to feel back on track, from the inside out. Over three days, you’ll participate in transformative life coaching workshops, hosted by field-leading experts, sunrise meditation sessions, laughter yoga, breathwork, cookery classes and workouts (some off-site, immersed in nature), as well as an ice bath on Brighton beach (an activity that facilitators stress will take place in all weather conditions!). Into this mix, evenings out within Brighton are added, and though they might feel slightly unorthodox for a mental health retreat, these group activities (think: bowling) help guests integrate their newfound awareness into real, everyday scenarios.
