Immerse yourself in Nature and Creativity
A retreat is an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and return to what matters most.
Set within the natural beauty of Thirlmere, bordering the World Heritage-listed Thirlmere Lakes National Park, Kintsugi Life Design offers intimate retreat experiences where Nature, creativity, stillness and wellbeing come together.
Whether you join one of our curated retreats or create an experience of your own, each offering is designed to support rest, reflection, connection and renewal.
Organised Kintsugi Retreats
Throughout the year, Kintsugi Life Design will offer a small number of carefully curated retreats inspired by the restorative power of Nature and the transformative potential of creativity.
​
Retreat themes may include:
​
✧ Forest Therapy and Nature Connection
✧ Creativity and Wellbeing
✧ Art and Authentic Expression
✧ Rest, Reflection and Renewal
✧ Seasonal Retreats aligned with the rhythms of Nature
✧ Retreats for carers, community leaders, educators and helping professionals
​
Each retreat is intentionally small in size, creating space for genuine connection, personal reflection and meaningful conversation.
Designed to nourish body, mind and spirit, these experiences invite participants to slow down, reconnect and return home with a renewed sense of clarity and balance.
​
Retreat dates to be advised.
Create your own Retreat experience
No two people arrive with the same needs.
You may be seeking rest, creative inspiration, deeper connection with Nature, quality time with loved ones, space to reflect, or simply an opportunity to pause and breathe.
At Kintsugi Life Design, we can co-create a personalised retreat experience shaped around your interests, intentions and pace.
Your retreat may include:
✧ Forest Therapy experiences
✧ Art experiences centred on creative expression, mark making and discovering your authentic creative voice
✧ Forest Therapy and Art combined in a one-day immersive retreat
✧ Self-guided meditation, breath awareness, gentle movement and yoga
✧ Reflective writing, journaling and creative exploration
✧ Access to wellness experiences including our hydrotherapy spa, wood-burning sauna and infrared sauna
✧ Quiet time in Nature for contemplation, reading and restoration
✧ Boutique villa accommodation
✧ Shared meals, in-house dining options and local food experiences
Retreat experiences can be designed for individuals, couples, friends, families, small groups, community organisations and professional teams.
Experiences may be facilitated as a one-day retreat, a weekend escape or a longer bespoke immersion.
​
Stay with Us
Stay in our French-inspired villas or Japanese Scandi accommodation, thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of calm, comfort and connection with the surrounding landscape.
