Based in the Forest of Dean, I offer bespoke private retreats, for solo travellers.
Accommodation is sometimes possible in the Cosmic Teapot Cabin, in the mindfulness garden behind my home, or I also run exclusive solo retreats at the nearby Asha Centre.
All retreats are tailored to your specific requirements. As such there are lots of options – including totally silent digital detox retreats, where you will be supported with meals at pre agreed times. These can be an incredible way to press reset when at a crisis point, or in overwhelm.
Retreats can also be good for some types of long standing pain or illness, if you are seeking a new approach. By being in the retreat environment, the nervous system can relax, meaning treatments go deeper and can be more effective.
You can include treatments and coaching (see more on treatments HERE, and more on coaching HERE), and also Forest Walks, and Mindfulness & Meditation (see below)
Prices start from £750 for a two night retreat for one person.
Intensive Healing Reset Retreats start from £1,815 per person for four nights, including a personalised treatment and coaching programme.
Contact me to discuss your needs and availability, and we’ll create something that’s just right. For just you. Right now.
Che put together a personalised programme for a retreat at Cosmic Teapot. From the moment I arrived I felt safe and cared for. The cabin is such a lovely place, it really felt like a little piece of heaven while I was there. The work we did together during the retreat, I will be forever grateful for. The 1-2-1 sessions, mindfulness, healing massage and super healthy food, was exactly what I needed to springboard me on to the next chapter of my journey. I HIGHLY recommend Che for anyone thinking of coaching of any sort, retreats, massage and reiki. I have really loved working with her.

The Cabin is a wonderful homely haven surrounded by the inviting mindfulness garden with lovely spots to sit and just ‘be’ with nature. Che is lovely, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. I was made to feel at home straight away and my every need tended to. Che is a perfect host and makes delicious meals – very nutritious too. I feel SO good after this retreat – it was peaceful, relaxing and inspiring. The whole two days were perfect. I am very, very pleased to have chosen Cosmic Teapot for my retreat. Thank you.

These retreats take place at the stunning Asha Centre, a beautiful retreat venue surrounded by woodland and water, with St Anthony’s Well just a short walk away.

I offer four different types of Forest walk:

Aim: To destress and practice mindfulness.
2) Walk & Talk
Slow to medium pace – to suit you.
Aim: To discuss anything on your mind.
3) Scenic Walks
Medium pace – to suit you.
Aim: To discover the Forest of Dean – both on and off the beaten paths.
4) Cardio Walks
Faster pace, steep inclines and longer walks.
Aim: To reenergise you, and get your body moving.
There are a wide range of location and scenery options.
I had a really magical walk with Che. I am new to the area and will be booking another walk soon. She listened and held space for me, and offered practical tools and advice. I would highly recommend this experience.

Excellent. Beautiful, peaceful location. Che is an excellent teacher and has made me want to explore these topics further. Very useful range of techniques – to tune you in to you. I feel better. Thank you.

Life can be stressful. And mindfulness and meditation can help in stress prevention, stress management, and stress treatment and recovery.
They involve training the mind to focus on less and less over time:
EVERYDAY MINDFULNESS
Involves focusing on the present moment and what is ‘right here, right now’. By directing the mind’s attention to only current sensory experiences or activities, other thoughts are excluded and we begin to train ourselves to be more ‘mindful’ in everyday living.
MINDFUL MEDITATION / PURE MEDITATION
Mindful meditation involves complete concentration on a singular thing – e.g. the breath, a guided meditation, a singular object. Pure meditation is when we empty the mind of all things, and sit in a state of suspended animation – with still body and still mind.
Like any skills, they require practice, but they are truly accessible to all.
With Che’s guidance, I experienced Mindfulness for the first time in the beautiful Forest of Dean. Focusing on the senses in turn, I found myself immersed in the present, fully appreciating the tiny details of nature that would normally pass me by. Afterwards I felt calm and relaxed and my outlook had shifted. A wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Che’s meditation guidance is outstanding. The instruction given was excellent, extremely clear and covered all the essentials. Time well spent. Now the practice is up to me. I will persevere! I can see and feel the benefits. Thank you.
