On a hidden island just 40 minutes from central London, it’s an easy escape for solo retreats, international travellers and anyone who needs to step out of the city without going too far.
A place to slow down, exhale, and feel yourself again.
It’s time to step out of your life for a moment. That’s what the Riverside retreat space in Enfield is for.
A sanctuary just for you in a peaceful home by the River Lea… Wet woodlands a short walk away… birdsong.
Vegan food made with care. A cosy room that’s yours alone.
“The experience was deeply calming and grounding… Highly recommend for anyone needing time to reset.”
Nicola Rodrigues
“For many women, the overnight stay is where a deeper shift happens… when the body finally believes it’s safe to truly let go.”

You might not talk about “inner guidance” in your everyday life. But you probably know the feeling of losing your sense of passion and direction. You may recognise yourself here if:
We give your system permission to soften. You rest. You’re cared for. You have space to catch up with yourself, without turning it into another thing to fix.
In that calm, your system often does what it’s been trying to do for a long time – simply let go.
People often say it feels like catching up with an old friend – no judgement, just space to chat, laugh, cry and forget the cares of the world for a while.
You’re fully taken care of in a little pocket of time and space, where you can reconnect with yourself and find the confidence and joy that got buried under all the responsibilities and pressure.
We also softly awaken the strengths and blessings you already carry, so you leave with fresh encouragement and a clearer perspective.
There’s no pressure to be “on” or to perform. We follow your pace and what your system needs. You leave with your nervous system softer, your body lighter, and a clearer sense of where your own inner compass is pointing
