Step out of the everyday and into an extraordinary experience in the heart of the English countryside.
For 5 days, you’ll be immersed in practices that go far beyond technique, guiding you into the very energy of life itself.
Together we’ll weave:
🌿 Breathwork that awakens your body and mind
🔥 Shamanic practices that open hidden doorways within
❄️ Cold immersion & sauna rituals that sharpen presence and resilience
🧘 Yoga and movement that ground and restore your system
This is not “just breathwork.”
Not “just cold.”
Not “just yoga.”
It’s the deeper current that flows beneath them all, where practice becomes transformation, and ritual becomes a way of being.
We’ll stay in a stunning countryside home, spacious, elegant, in a north Oxfordshire village surrounded by rolling fields. Days will be nourished by fresh homemade food, evenings by firelight and connection. Together, we’ll also journey into Oxford for a special excursion that ties the retreat to the land’s history and beauty.
Your guides are three seasoned facilitators with decades of international experience, bringing together a rare combination of expertise, presence, and depth.
This retreat is for you if you’re ready to:
✨ Go beyond “tools” and into transformation
✨ Explore both science and spirit of breath, body, and ritual
✨ Come home to your deepest self
📅 Five days of immersion
🍲 All meals and accommodation included
🏡 A countryside sanctuary, an hour from Oxford
Are you ready to step beyond and beneath the practices, and discover what they are truly pointing toward?
Your hosts for the retreat are the beautiful Gitte from Denmark, the swarthy Peter from the US and Leo (the elder one) who's home you will be staying at.
Here are a few pictures of both the site we'll be using and some of the surrounding area from different times of year plus some of Gitte and Peter's photos from some of their other retreats.
