A North Devon Coastal Retreat

12-16th October 2026 – Pickwell Manor, North Devon, UK – £1700

Two threads weave throughout the 5 days: Restoration and Discovery.

🌿 Restoration: A environment for you to breathe. To restore. To tune into your mind, your body and your needs. Creating the conditions so that you can hear.

🏄 Discovery: To find insight. To learn about yourself. Things that you can take home with you.

You know those things you notice about yourself when you’re learning something new, or doing something that stretches you? The patterns that show up — and somehow mirror other parts of your life too? This is about listening to those. Re-examining them. Playing with shifting them.

We’ll get there through yoga, coastal walks, nourishing food, surfing, and lots of space to just be. Coaching running alongside all of it, catching what comes up and helping you choose what to take forward, into your everyday life.

What’s included:

  • A group session before the retreat, to get to know each other and the group you’ll be with
  • 1:1 coaching sessions with Anne, before and after the retreat
  • 4 nights accommodation and full use of grounds and facilities at Pickwell Manor, in a single or shared (with one other) room, with ensuite or shared (with one other) bathroom. Let me know if you have any requirements around room or bathroom allocation, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
  • All locally sourced, nutritious meals and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the week. The week is alcohol-free — we find it helps everyone get more out of the time together.
  • Activities during the week:
    • Yoga and meditation sessions with a local yoga teacher
    • 2.5 hour surf lesson with Surf Croyde Bay
    • Guided coastal walks
    • Coaching conversations and tools woven throughout the week — in scheduled sessions and in the moment, on the walks, in the water, wherever it’s needed
  • Transport to and from Tiverton Parkway train station, plus getting around during the week.
    • Arrive by midday Monday 12th October, depart after midday Friday 16th October
