IMMERSIVE IMPACT

We will ask for a key contact / or host who we will liaise with to send out essential information such as;

Medical info, kit lists & dietary requirements.

Psychometric report questions also need to be completed before attending the retreat. This is completed via a secure link which will be emailed to the individual participants. The report will give team members a detailed insight into their personality. Reports are revealed during the retreat.

We encourage everyone to take part in all the activities as this will ensure the team gets the most out of the retreat experience. However we want everyone who attends to feel comfortable so ultimately it's always an individual your choice.

Our instructors are highly experienced & we are able to modify and adapt all activities to ensure that they are accessible to all team members.

The yoga will be accessible to everyone. The classes will be a mix of Hatha and Vinyasa flow yoga but the main focus is relaxation, finding some inner peace, mindful movement and connecting to the breath. There won't be any chanting, headstands or splits but there will be challenges for those members of the team who enjoy a stronger practice.

No, this isn’t necessary as we have the fantastic Wayne as your walk/swim leader. Wayne will give a safety brief and then lead a guided walk/swim.

We also ensure everyone has a swim buoy for safety and buoyancy in the water.

Simon Brock is our dedicated retreat chef.

Working with small independent local suppliers, he has created a menu that is nourishing, mainly organic and absolutely delicious.

We want to offer wholesome and hearty local food that will also provide the nutrition necessary to keep the team feeling energised and satiated.

Simon won the Unique Dining Experience of the Year 2022 in the Tourism and Hospitality Awards. He is renowned for delivering fine dining and we can’t wait to gather in the formal dining room during the evening to celebrate the day with the team over delicious food.

Breakfast and lunch will be a more relaxed affair served from the stunning kitchen with those magnificent bifold doors and unrivalled views of the Lake.

Simon can cater to any allergies and dietary needs. We will discuss any requirements with individuals / the team leader prior to the retreat.
