Root to Rise Retreat [Spring Edition ]in Yorkshire Dales

We are absolutely delighted to be back at Langcliffe Hall, offering our 8th edition retreat here with Charlotte and Mark, who are part of the original Langcliffe Hall family.

We have prepared a deeply nurturing retreat designed to harmonise your energetic, physical, emotional and mental self through Yin Yoga, Sound Healing, Reiki, Breathwork, Cacao Ceremony, and elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). All of this is held within the magic of life in the Yorkshire Dales, nourishing meals, and powerful transformational sessions. Our intention is for you to leave feeling rested, balanced, rejuvenated, inspired and equipped with practical tools to integrate into daily life.

Throughout our time together, we will tune into nature’s gifts and ancient wisdom, working with aspects of TCM to harmonise your inner landscape and support you to bloom with the seasonal transition.

According to TCM, the weeks before and during spring are the most optimal time to stimulate and protect the Liver and Gall Bladder organs and their meridian channels. These pathways can naturally weaken during spring, and nourishing them now helps strengthen your foundation for the coming summer season.

Imbalances in the Liver and Gall Bladder meridians can manifest as stress, irritability, headaches, IBS, reduced muscular strength, neck and shoulder tension, indecisiveness, frustration or repressed anger. Our sessions will help restore flow, release stagnation, and cultivate clarity, vitality and emotional ease.

We have curated a powerful programme designed to boost, balance and support healthy chi flow through:

• Yin Yoga, Singing Bowl Therapy & Reiki Drumming

• Reiki Drumming Journey

• Wim Hof Method Breathwork

• Optional Cold Water Therapy (natural spring)

• Sunset Walk & Waterfall Walk (with an optional dip)

• Cacao Ceremony & Kirtan

If you feel called to restore balance, boost your energy and step into the new season with clarity, strength and inspiration — join us at the magical Langcliffe Hall.

What’s Included

• 2 nights / 3 days at the historic Langcliffe Hall, full of character and charm

• Delicious vegetarian and plant-based meals lovingly prepared by Charlotte at Nourish.HQ

Langcliffle Hall in Settle, Yorkshire dates back to 1602 and is where we will able able to step back in time to a simple, slower life style in this magnificent Grade II listed Jacobean Hall. A family home that has been passed down through its female ancestors, is steeped in history, and had many distinguished visitors of a bygone era including: Sir Isaac Newton, Lord Halifax and Mr Stanley Baldwin to name but a few. The oldest building in Langcliffe, occupying a delightful, south facing position with far reaching views, and stunning grounds which will be bursting with autumnal colours to enjoy. The walled gardens will be abundant with organic home grown produce that we can enjoy both admiring and eating. The Hall provides grand, luxurious, comfortable, cosy and elegant accommodation. Many fires which will be roaring making it perfect for our Autumn retreat as it is a place to nurture, inspire and ignite your mind, body and soul.

Langcliffe Hall sits on the edge of the picturesque village of Langcliffe with views over the hall grounds and parkland, leading to the charming market town of Settle. Enter through the ancient oak doors into the impressive main hallway with oak panelled walls and stone floors. Leading from the hall, the principle rooms all orientate to the front, enjoying a south-facing aspect and views of the mature and well-stocked gardens. From the oak beamed sitting room, wander through to the traditional breakfast kitchen featuring a double Aga. The dining room offers all the character and opulence required for those special occasion meals in front of the fire, after which the library is the perfect place to retire, or wander upstairs via the fine character staircase to the beautiful drawing room, the music room and bedrooms. Discover the original estate office in the grounds which has been converted into a yoga shala, where we will be gathering for indoor sessions however we will be aiming to be outside in nature as much as possible,

JAMES BRADSHAW

Working in the fire and rescue service was my dream job and after making the difficult decision to leave after 10 years service I lost my way a little. I missed helping other people and felt something was missing. I proceeded to spend another 10 years building up my own renovations and maintenance company and whilst really enjoying meeting new people, the practical side of working with my hands and being creative I still felt I had more to offer. In 2011 I injured my spine in a car accident and the doctors said that I would need to start saving for a £20k operation to remove some of my spine which would manage the pain. The injury was affecting my life and somedays I couldn’t walk – this is where my journey started in looking for alternative ways to heal. I started regular yoga classes and very soon I regained strength, mobility and reduced pain. It was actually in the yoga studio that I saw a leaflet for Reiki and became very curious in how I could tap into my own healing potential. In the back of my mind I knew this was the tool I could use to help myself and others. It has been quite a journey working towards my Reiki master degree and digging deeper into the potentials of Sound Therapy. My journey continued to the Wim Hof Method and after very quickly seeing the huge shift in my mental health and physical strength especially through my cancer recovery in 2020, I knew I had to become a certified Wim Hof Instructor and take this method out to help people gain tools to put YOU in control and therefore Rise and Thrive. We continue to research, experience and explore ways to help ourselves and others live at optimal health in this modern world.

And guess what… I no longer need the spinal operation!

Ancient Wisdom has changed my life. For years I suffered with Adrenal Fatigue and an Autoimmune Disease, that combined with being a workaholic in the corporate world often meant choosing to work 13-hour days and using all my energy up at work that often meant that I had nothing left for me, let alone time for my family or friends. After becoming dependent on steroid injections, western medication and coffee just to get through the day I decided to come back to Yoga and explore a more holistic lifestyle. Rather than continue to book holidays in a desperate attempt to recharge, I started to go on Healing retreats which inspired me to train to become a Yoga teacher and this soon became a huge turning point in my life because it gave me the space to rest, spend time with like minded people and also learn tools that I needed to make changes in my life. Very quickly I found that a more regular practice offered me much more than the physical benefits and as I continued to dig deeper, not only did I become stronger and more mobile in my body but I had reduced pain, raised energy levels, improved mental health and my whole perspective significantly changed. I said goodbye to my corporate life and set out on a new path find a solution other than a lifetime on western medication and guess what - I haven't taken western medication for over 7 years and have managed to keep my autoimmune issues at bay (unless I fall into old habits!) Even now with over 1000 study hours with many global master teachers and reading hundreds of books, I continue to search for and experience alternative ways to live at optimal health in this modern world. Going deeper into the layers is my passion, specifically in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine, organ health, the energetic body and breath work. Sound and Reiki has also been a huge influence in my healing path which is why James (my husband) and I love to work together and create healing and transformational experiences which we can offer on a private basis, group classes, workshops or retreats.
