Spirited Away - Summer Retreat (1 or 2 nights)

Come away with us to where the green grass grows! This is no ordinary summer retreat. Instead, we've designed a perfect mix of art, activity and leisure. And of course, you can also simply sit back and take in the summer air. Set in a lovely organic farm off the grid, Spirited Away is your chance to reset and energise yourself.

Bring friends, bring partners, bring your entire family. Be it seniors or kids, we've got something for everyone.

We have five facilitators on board to help you make the most of your stay. They bring expertise and experience, but most importantly, they bring passion. With them, you can see the world through a new lens -- and who knows, you could go back with a new hobby!
