The patterns that drive you can only change when you take the time to notice them.
True strength isn't about doing it all, it is about knowing when to pause and recharge.
Clarity comes when you step back, not when you push harder.

Make space for you
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
You may appear capable and high-functioning but feel emotionally overloaded or disconnected.
You cope through food, alcohol, busyness, or control and wonder, "Why do I keep doing this when I know better?"
You are navigating a life transition or quietly questioning what the next chapter holds.
You seek depth, clarity, and connection and not another quick fix or strategy.
This is YOUR time.

Changing our perspectives
WHAT WE MEAN BY 'NOURISHMENT BEYOND HABITS'
For many, nourishment has become entangled with habits, reaction, or self-management.
We reach for food, alcohol, distraction, or control. Not because we are failing, but because these patterns at one point helped us cope.
At Nourishment Beyond Habits retreat, we don’t take these coping mechanisms away.
Instead:
- We slow them down
- We listen to what they are protecting.
- We honour the intelligence behind them.
This isn't about fixing behaviour.
It’s about understanding the wisdom beneath it and gently creating choice where there once was only reaction.

A space just for you
THE VENUE
Tucked away in the picturesque Somerset countryside, our retreat venue is a haven of tranquility and comfort. Surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful landscapes, it’s the ideal setting to relax and reconnect.
The beautifully restored Old Rectory House offers cosy interiors, a dedicated wellbeing studio, and access to stunning outdoor spaces.
Whether you’re unwinding in the gardens, enjoying the sauna, or soaking in the views from your room, every detail has been carefully designed to enhance your experience.
This isn’t just a venue. It’s a sanctuary where you can pause, breathe, and truly feel at ease.
COSY ACCOMODATION
This intimate retreat is designed for small groups, offering a cosy and exclusive experience with just six double or twin rooms available.
For something extra special, choose from three award-winning shepherd huts. Each hut features a double bed, an en-suite shower room, a log burner, and its own private wood-fired hot tub with stunning sea views. A curved glass skylight above the bed adds a magical touch, perfect for stargazing under the night sky.
The retreat cottage includes three bedrooms: one with a double or twin bed and an en-suite bathroom, and two additional bedrooms (double or twin beds) that share a bathroom.
The cottage also offers a comfortable lounge area with a log burner for quiet moments and a charming cabin overlooking the wildflower meadow.
A SPACE TO RELAX AND RECHARGE
Our outdoor woodland spa features a sauna with stunning views through the trees and out to the sea, a large wood-fired hot tub that seats up to eight people, an ice bath, and an outdoor shower under the forest canopy. There’s even a drench bucket for a refreshing boost.
Take a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers or unwind in the spacious cedar hot tub.
Dine al-fresco in the woodland banquet hall, gather around the fire pit, and take in the beautiful sunset views.
The purpose-built wellbeing studio, equipped with a Scandinavian log burner, provides a peaceful and calming space designed for relaxation and reflection.

I didn't know what to expect but I knew it would be excellent because Jules is incredibly good at what she does. It was very well-structured, and it made you really think and delve deep into why we do what we do.
Connie
Hugely well-thought-out, great insights, and I think what Jules does is she doesn’t give you the answers. A lot of us knew what the answers were, but she gives you the tools to help you discover them for yourself. I couldn’t recommend it more.
Mish
I appreciated how safe the environment felt, no pressure to share or feeling of judgment. Being with others with similar experiences was very healing. Thank you Jules for setting me back onto the path I should be on.
