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 the breathtaking Herefordshire countryside, from straightforward sessions to more challenging walks. You will take in magnificent scenery, exploring ancient woodland, sections of Offa's Dyke and the 1,000 acres of farmland surrounding the property. Jo will be working alongside holistic practitioner and nutritious food enthusiast Sybil Watson.
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 the hot tub and sauna or book a massage.
