Holiday ExpiredAbout Braziers Park
This New Year's retreat is the perfect opportunity to relax and revitalise and enjoy reconnecting with self and others. Braziers Park is a hidden treasure, set deep in the beautiful countryside of South Oxfordshire, less than two hours from London. A warm country manor house, amidst the rolling Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. An idyllic location for a deeply rejuvenating retreat.
The old manor is Grade II listed in the 'Strawberry Gothic' style with an abundance of character and beauty. Real log fires, plentiful sofas and a grand piano are amongst its charms - all set in 57 acres of land with beautiful gardens. Braziers Park is a working eco-community with sheep, chickens, a walled vegetable garden and an ancient orchard. The community welcomes you to enjoy the rustic old charm of Braziers Park and to be part of the community.
The programme
Arrival is on Sunday 29 December from 3.30 pm. The first class will be at 5pm. This will be a gentle open flow to help you unwind from your journey and ease into the retreat. Afterwards the group will enjoy a delicious dinner before a bedtime meditation and mantra practice. On Monday 30 December there will be two classes - a long, more dynamic morning class to align to body and breath followed by a late afternoon class where we will slow things down and enjoy a deep relaxation. In the afternoon there will be a pop-up mantra choir for those who would like to sing.
On New Year's eve the morning will start with a strong practice then another delicious breakfast. The group will come together again in the afternoon for another practice before dinner and our NYE programme where we will set our intentions for 2020 and spend some time around the bonfire.
Each day after morning yoga there will be the opportunity to walk, have a massage or relax by the fire. The retreat will finish on Wednesday 1 January after a midday lunch.
Things to do
Braziers Park is very quaint and quirky with plenty of space to nestle down with a book. There's the library, the study, dining room and an informal space by the log fire and grand piano.
There is a lovely woodland walk which is a great opportunity to experience some of the wildlife beauties of the estate. There will be delicious vegetarian food and plenty of time just to hang out and chat, meet new people, read, relax and enjoy being in the community in natural surroundings. Massage treatments will also be available at additional cost.
