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.
