5 Retreats for Summer 2022

Summer is such a lovely time to retreat. In most parts of the world, the sun is shining, we’re in better spirits and time away from our everyday lives gives us the boost we need to face the rest of the year. Whether you want to chill out by a beach, limber up and get lithe with some yoga or simply break free and escape all your technology, at Queen of Retreats we have a getaway that will tick your boxes.

Recharge your mental wellbeing

The pandemic has touched most people’s lives and for many, the last two years have been a challenge. Now is the time for a mental health retreat, where you can switch off your phone and do a digital detox, talk through your troubles, sort your head out and build resilience for the future.

At Middle Piccadilly in Dorset in the UK the Re-Emerge Retreat and the After Lockdown Retreat have treatments to help guests who feel they have lost their way spiritually. Based at Holwell near Sherborne, this is a peaceful, back-to-basics vegetarian retreat in a 17th century thatched cottage surrounded by rolling countryside, which begs to be walked. It’s run by Dominic Harvey and his wife Lisa, a holistic therapist, and treatments are with therapists who work with skill, dedication and heart.

In France Haven in the Vines and Haven by the Sea offer private retreats at two locations – Haven in the Vines is nestled among cognac vines at Saint Saturnin, while Haven by the Sea is on the edge of the small market town of La Flotte, on the Île de Ré, just a five-minute stroll from the harbour. The retreats pivot on one-to-one emotional therapy and/or coaching dealing with anything that is preventing you from living a satisfying and healthy life. Retreats include a gourmet raw vegan diet and offer energy healing and nutritional consultations.
