2-Day Emotional Reset & Wellness Retreat in the Peak District

The retreat takes place at the hosts' family home in Wheston, a quiet farming hamlet set within the Peak District National Park. The Grade 2 listed barn conversion features oak beams, underfloor heating, and a warm, traditionally styled interior. With a maximum of four guests, the atmosphere is personal and supportive, with plenty of space for one-to-one guidance and quiet reflection.

The core practice is Ho'oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian tradition of reconciliation and forgiveness. This is woven into a series of structured sessions, including breathwork, nervous system regulation, mindfulness meditation, energy healing (similar to Reiki), crystal-based relaxation, intuitive card readings, and gentle grounding exercises. John, the lead host, brings a scientific background—he holds an MMedsci in Sport and Exercise Science—along with extensive training in martial arts, Reiki, and energy medicine. His daughter Nina provides intuitive support and prepares all the meals, which are home-cooked and tailored to dietary needs.

Unlike a clinical or intensive program, the retreat is trauma-aware and paced to avoid overwhelm. The focus is on creating the right conditions for emotional release to happen naturally. Guests learn practical techniques using breath, awareness, and energy-based approaches that they can continue using at home. There is also time to get outdoors; the Pennine Bridleway runs right by the property, offering easy access to countryside walks.

Each guest receives a private one-to-one energy healing session and an intuitive card reading, both of which are included in the price. The hosts also accommodate special requests, such as dietary restrictions (pescatarian, vegetarian, gluten-free) and can collect guests from Chesterfield or Buxton train stations for an additional fee. Reviews consistently highlight the warmth of the hosts, the quality of the food, and the profound sense of calm that guests take away with them.
