Holistic Wellness & Life Coaching Retreat in the English Countryside

Welcome to Plantation Villa at Ruxton Farm, an internationally acclaimed retreat center nestled within 14 acres of stunning Herefordshire countryside along the banks of the River Wye. This specialist wellness sanctuary brings over a decade of expertise in authentic Eastern practices to the heart of England, offering a genuine home-away-from-home experience for those seeking holistic transformation.

The retreat philosophy centers on the understanding that true wellness is a lifestyle, not just a weekend escape. Through the integration of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and personalized life coaching, guests are guided to calm the mind, reconnect with the body, and reawaken the spirit. The experienced team of teachers, coaches, and Ayurvedic practitioners work together to provide comprehensive support for your journey toward balance and fulfillment.

Your days begin with Buddhist chanting in the peaceful Buddha Hall, followed by therapeutic yoga sessions led by teachers trained in the Krishnamacharya tradition. Afternoon workshops cover everything from cookery classes and sustainability practices to insightful talks on Buddhist philosophy and Ayurvedic nutrition. Evening activities including Yoga Nidra, guided meditation, and sound baths ensure you drift into restful sleep.

The retreat's commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond personal transformation. As a social enterprise, all profits support The Metta Trust charity, providing education, medical care, and housing to underprivileged communities in Sri Lanka. By choosing this retreat, you're not only investing in your own wellbeing but contributing to meaningful change in the world.

The rustic farmhouse accommodation offers comfortable, thoughtfully appointed rooms with views across the countryside to the River Wye. With access to free bike rental, extensive gardens, an orchard, and riverside walks, there are endless opportunities for peaceful contemplation and connection with nature.

Post-retreat support ensures your transformation continues long after you leave, with access to online resources and a team of expert practitioners ready to guide your ongoing journey toward a healthier, happier life.
