Frequently Asked Questions

Below you’ll find answers to our most common questions – so you can feel confident you’ve made the very best choice. 

What makes an EMSR retreat unique?

Our retreats are built around four simple pillars: Eat, Move, Sleep, and Retreat. We are not a boot camp, nor are we a detox. Instead, we focus on joyful movement, food that is both nourishing and delicious, and restorative rest in beautiful surroundings. Every retreat is also about slow travel and a sense of place. You will connect to the location, enjoy experiences you cannot find anywhere else, and take the time to savour it all. It is wellness with a sense of quiet luxury.

Not at all. Every class or activity is adaptable, and our instructors are there to support you. The focus is on enjoyment and balance, not performance.

We welcome a mix of people, often in their thirties through sixties, who enjoy travel, food, and wellbeing. Some come solo, others with a partner or friend. Groups are small, so it always feels personal and inclusive.

Yes. Many of our guests travel solo, and it is a wonderful way to meet new people. You will have your own private space, and you will also feel part of the group.
