Exmouth Beach Retreat
De-stress, review and rejuvenate
Exmouth Beach Retreat
(29th September - 2nd October 2023)
Sometimes we can’t see the wood for the trees.
We forget who we are inside of our duties to others. We get overwhelmed. We know we have great lives fundamentally, but we are often just too busy to appreciate them.
If you are looking to rebuild your ability to de-stress, to live more consistently with what is important to you and get back in touch with who you are, this retreat is for you.
You can be in the sea in a heartbeat. There’s nothing to do and everything to do. It’s wild and its’ quiet. You don’t even need to bring a car, The Beach House is walking distance from the train station at Exmouth.
Clear your mind to the sound of the sea; think about ways to move forward with greater empowerment and joy. Spend precious time alone or connect with others on a similar journey to yours.

About the Retreat
You know you work too hard.
We exist in a world which operates at breakneck speed.
A world where many of us have work we really care about – as well as perhaps children, elderly parents and sometimes health problems ourselves. With home admin, a social life and perhaps studying too – and it can be overwhelming. And, sometimes in life we have difficult choices to make.
You know you are someone who gets a sense of purpose through looking after others and from your work but that it can be too much. You know you deserve and need a break. A break where you can reset, recharge and get inspired again. A break where you can come up with some better ways to balance self-care and service in the future.
This stunning location with spectacular sea views from most of the bedrooms will be your perfect reset location – cold water, walking barefoot and gut friendly (but delicious) food are three of the most powerful resources we have for our mental health, together with connecting with others, sleep, relaxation and trying new things!
Clear your mind to the sound of the sea; think about ways to move forward with greater empowerment and joy whilst gazing at a mesmerising view from the hot tub. Spend precious time alone or connect with others on a similar journey to yours.
Find respite care for elderly folk, ask partners to care for children, put the dog in doggy day care – you know you need and deserve this!

The Structure of the Retreat
Limited to just 12 places, indulge yourself in three days of relaxation and new experiences. There will be time to read, retreat, make new connections and indulge in fun and mind- expanding activities.
We don’t micro-manage you because we know that transformation and connection happen by the fireside, in the quiet moments by the sea and over dinner.
The whole retreat experience is aimed at facilitating your appreciation of new things and offering fresh perspectives to consider.
Experience a host of activities which deliver insight, strategies and calm. Tarot, oil-painting, cold water swimming, delicious and healthy gut -friendly food, communal dinners and lots of fresh sea air! Disconnected yet within reach. Time grows at the Beach house Exmouth.
It will be four nights of relaxation, rejuvenation and new experiences. With plenty of time for you to chat, occupy the hot tub or the pool, curl up with a book or do some water sports, interspersed with some fun but mind expanding activities such as Fiona Coffey’s normally Brighton based “tea and tarot”.
We won’t be over managing you, because transformation and connection happen by the fireside in the quiet moments by the sea and over dinner, finding new things to appreciate and new perspectives to consider.
Meet new people or bring a friend (there are two bedrooms with two single beds in them).
