United Kingdom · 3 days · From USD 729 (indicative)
The retreat runs for three days at the Detox Barn in Suffolk. Lauretta Gavin plans and cooks plant-based meals for the group, and the sisters lead workshops on habits, energy and food. The schedule is not rigid: expect a mix of practical sessions and time to talk, eat and rest. The focus is on what you can change at home, not on rules for the weekend.
Sharon Gavin's health story is the reason the retreat exists. After her autoimmune diagnosis, she researched how lifestyle changes had helped others with similar conditions and found that plant-based eating, no alcohol and no processed foods were common threads. She asked Lauretta to join her, and they overhauled their diets together. Lauretta later trained as a natural vegan chef so the food would be enjoyable as well as nourishing. Sharon's health improved gradually, and the sisters say their new way of living brought more happiness as well as recovery.
What makes this different from a generic wellness weekend is the sisters' own experience and Lauretta's cooking. The workshops are built around sustainable habits, not quick fixes, and the food is a central part of the teaching rather than an afterthought. The atmosphere is grounded and relatable; the sisters deliberately avoid anything self-serious.
The Detox Barn is in the Suffolk countryside, and full directions are shared once your booking is confirmed. The retreat is available year-round, and room options are confirmed per booking. You can ask about private rooms, shared spaces or upgrades. Meals are tailored to the group, including dietary needs, so tell the team yours when you book.
Lauretta and Sharon Gavin are the retreat leaders. Lauretta is a trained natural vegan chef; Sharon's background is in research and her own recovery. They are based at The Detox Barn and also run longer retreats, including a 5-day longevity retreat in Suffolk and a 6-day detox retreat in Castro Marim, Algarve, Portugal.
