If you fancy a weekend of ‘kindfulness’, serene surroundings, refreshing greenery, open spaces, room to breathe, an energy boost, deluxe accommodation, nutritious, gourmet “Food is Medicine” meals designed by a master chef as well as a de-cluttered and refreshed mind and body – then this is the weekend for you!! We’ve enjoyed eight fully-booked weekends so far within the sumptuous surroundings of Creacon Wellness Retreat and with a number of guests returning again and again!

Everyone is welcome and no experience is required to enjoy and benefit from mindful meditation and movement – Tai Chi, Chi Kung and mindful walking – all inspired by the stunning, luxurious and tranquil surroundings of Creacon Wellness Retreat. Be kind to your body and mind with these flowing and gentle – yet also invigorating and strengthening – movements which are suitable for all ages, shapes and sizes! And if you’re new to meditation, rest assured that each session will be relaxed and guided. We’ll also be exploring the theme of “Loving Kindness” and techniques including meditations, self-Indian Head massage and nourishing Singing Bowl “Sound Bath” sessions. I can’t wait!! 

In between classes there will be plenty of time to relax in one of Creacon’s cosy lounges or the cafe. Take time to enjoy the richly green surroundings, and views from the decked terrace, the restful labyrinth garden, the gorgeous gift shop or just take a breather with a cup of tea!

Creacon’s Master Chef designs meals that promote health and nutrition, while delighting your taste buds. Based on the philosophy that good food feeds the soul, he uses only quality ingredients that are chosen for their seasonal & environmental appropriateness – many of which are grown their our own gardens. The philosophy combines Eastern traditions, with their vast knowledge of the healing properties of food, with the art of creating, delicious hearty meals.

Healthy Snacks, smoothies, hot drinks, drinks from the bar and treats are available to purchase outside meal times. And I’ll be bringing along a few treats for our movie night on Saturday!

Lunches and evening meals – these are a set-menu selected for you from Creacon’s Food is Medicine menu. I will send on the menu a couple of weeks in advance of our trip incase you need to make any amendments (allergies etc). Desserts can be ordered from a separate menu at extra cost. There is a wine list available for purchase with evening meals. 

Standard tea and coffee is included with all meals. A wide range of “special” teas and coffees are available for purchase.
