New Wellness and Mindfulness Retreats at
CHILSTON PARK HOTEL
HISTORIC KENT COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL , CHILSTON PARK IN LENHAM , HAS LAUNCHED A SERIES OF NEW MINDFULNESS AND WELLBEING RETREATS – PERFECT TO BANISH CHRISTMAS INDULGENCES AND KICK START THE NEW YEAR .
The two-night retreats have been developed in conjunction with local meditation and yoga experts , Liberty Wellbeing , and invite guests to abandon technology ( if only for a short time !), embrace creativity , escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and be more present in the moment .
The hotel has two retreats running this month , which combine practices such as smooth yoga , rise-and-shine yoga , qigong , tai chi , and silent meditation , with sessions on mindfulness , embracing a more balanced lifestyle and how to live the Ayurvedic way . To complement the tailored programme , a carefully planned menu of healthy and nutritious food , snacks and drinks are included , all designed to cleanse and rejuvenate from the inside out .
Priced at just £ 375 per person based on two people sharing a room , accommodation is also provided in one of the hotels quirky bedrooms , representing a good value option for a retreat experience of this nature here in the UK .
“ Emotional wellbeing has become increasingly important at a time when technological connectivity is almost constant and switching off can be challenging ,” says Chilston Park Hotel ’ s general manager , Catherine Bone . “ Our historic country house hotel is both comfortable and cosy with acres of impressive grounds for guests to wander and stroll , providing them with the perfect setting in which to relax and unwind and properly tune into the moment .”
A FEW WORDS FROM CHARLOTTE CAMBRIDGE ON BEHALF OF LIBERTY WELLBEING , IN ASSOCIATION WITH CHILSTON PARK HOTEL .
“ January can be a tricky time of year for many people – with the cold , dark days , it ’ s a natural instinct to stay holed up at home , eating too much and not moving enough , despite everything around us telling us we should be keeping fit and kickstarting healthy eating plans .”
“ Starting the new year with a new outlook doesn ’ t have to be quite so demanding , though . Chilston Park Hotel ’ s two new retreats offer you the chance to reevaluate your goals in life , start a relationship with calming yoga and gain some peace of mind for the year to come . Whether you are aiming to begin the new year with a little TLC for your mental health , or you feel the need to press the pause button to give yourself that extra boost of energy before you return to real life , there is plenty of opportunity to gain some inner calm at both of our retreats .”
“ Your first opportunity to take part in a programme of restorative yoga and tai chi starts on New Year ’ s Day itself , with silent
mediation and an intention setting session also part of the retreat , along with the chance to rebalance your chakras and further your understanding of how energy works within the body . The second retreat takes place midmonth with an emphasis on restoring you through relaxing yoga nidra , the chance to undertake active meditation in a qigong and breathwork session , and a workshop on the ancient art of Ayurveda , which promises to help you rebalance mind , body and spirit for a healthier lifestyle .”
‘ New Beginnings ’ runs from 1st-3rd January 2018 , and ‘ Restoring You ’ from 16th-18th . There are other retreats running throughout the year too , please visit www . handpickedhotels . co . uk / chilstonpark for more information and to book a place .
