We are delighted to bring you a series of three-day Mindfulness Walking retreats.
We currently have two fabulous locations:
-
Woolhanger Manor, a large organic hill farm in the heart of Exmoor National Park in North Devon
-
The Colloquy, a spacious yet cosy country house in stunning rural Herefordshire
Upcoming retreats in 2026:​
-
Sunday 8th March - Wednesday 11th March at Woolhanger Manor: fully booked
-
Thursday 16th April - Sunday 19th April at Woolhanger Manor: spaces available
-
Monday 5th October - Thursday 8th October at The Colloquy: spaces available
With only eight guests per retreat, you will have plenty of personal attention learning all the elements of Mindfulness Walking with academy founder Jo Dunne. There will be daily opportunities to put what you have learnt into practice on walks through breathtaking countryside, from straightforward sessions to more challenging hikes.
Jo will be working alongside holistic practitioner and food enthusiast Sybil Watson, who creates wonderfully nutritious menus using locally sourced produce wherever possible.
​
In North Devon we are planning walks on the South West Coast Path, Exmoor, Woolacombe Beach, and the beautiful woodlands and gardens surrounding the manor.
​
In Herefordshire we take in magnificent scenery, exploring ancient woodland, sections of Offa's Dyke and the 1,000 acres of farmland surrounding the property.
There will be lots of time for relaxation and to reset and reflect in the spacious, beautifully appointed accommodation, with a chance to practise yoga, enjoy a sauna or book a massage.
