6-Month Hybrid Wellness Transformation Retreat with 5-Day Ayurvedic Immersion in Herefordshire

At Plantation Villa, we understand that true wellness is a lifestyle, not a temporary escape. Our 6-Month Hybrid Transformation Programme is born from over a decade of experience in holistic wellbeing and a deep respect for authentic Eastern practices. We combine the profound, personalised wisdom of Ayurveda with practical, modern coaching to create a programme that addresses the root causes of imbalance, rather than just the symptoms.

The journey unfolds in two beautifully integrated phases. The first phase is a comprehensive online coaching experience, designed to fit around your life. Over six months, you will have fortnightly live one-to-one sessions with your dedicated coach practitioner, an initial consultation with an experienced Ayurveda doctor, and ongoing support via Zoom or Google Meet. You will receive tailored guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, movement, yoga, and stress management. You will learn to set meaningful goals, track your progress, and break unhelpful patterns with compassionate accountability. This phase is about building knowledge, confidence, and momentum.

The second phase is a transformative 5-day in-person retreat at our serene home, Ruxton Farm, nestled in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here, you will immerse yourself in daily yoga and meditation, receive personalised Ayurvedic consultations and therapies, and enjoy delicious, nourishing meals tailored to your dosha. Our skilled chefs use organic, locally sourced ingredients to create culinary experiences that support your healing. You'll participate in insightful talks, sustainability workshops, and connecting sharing circles, all set against the backdrop of 14 acres of gardens and the peaceful River Wye.

Your retreat experience is complemented by a supportive community of like-minded individuals on similar journeys. You will have the opportunity to connect, share experiences, and build lasting friendships in a safe and nurturing environment. With an optional discussion with a Buddhist monk, who visits two to three times a year, and access to our library and spa facilities, every aspect of your stay is designed to foster deep reflection and renewal. By the end of your six months, you will have not only experienced a profound retreat but also developed a sustainable, joyful, and healthy way of living that you carry with you always.
