February Half-Term Retreat in the New Forest UK 2027

A gentle transition into spring, filled with movement and discovery.
FULLY BOOKED – Our next retreat with availability is in Easter.
February marks the quiet transition from winter towards spring, it is a month of quiet transformation. The days begin to lengthen, the light gradually returns, and nature prepares for new growth.
It is a natural time to pause, restore our energy and reconnect with what matters.
Winter begins to loosen its hold, the light returns and nature prepares for the unfolding of spring. It is an invitation to pause, restore our energy and welcome new beginnings.
The retreat creates space for joy, playfulness and meaningful connection, allowing participants to find their rhythm, experience greater ease and explore new possibilities together.
Following a successful three-week intensive Christmas programme with a family from Australia in 2024, during which they stayed at one of The Bench’s properties while participating in an individual programme, we are pleased to have since introduced regular retreats throughout the year.
These include retreats between Christmas and New Year, February Half-Term, Easter, May Half-Term, our Summer Retreat and October Half-Term.
Over the days together, we create and hold a restorative field that allows what has been dormant, tired, or held too tightly to soften and reawaken. There is space to breathe, to listen, and to allow new rhythms to arise naturally in the body and inner landscape.
Days unfold with a natural rhythm of guided practices, quiet integration, time outdoors, and shared meals. There is room for both silence and soft connection, allowing each participant to meet spring in their own way.
