January Joy
23-25 January 2026
The Setting
West Lexham holds a quiet magic: wood-burning fires, on site library, still water, starry skies. A sanctuary for those ready to pause, listen, begin again — and this is the perfect time of year to do so. The retreat venue is an eco-friendly paradise, run by over 90% renewables, and an onsite garden kitchen lovingly preparing all your food.
Who is it for?
This retreat is for you if you’re ready to:
Press pause on your routine and teach yourself to prioritise rest.
Take sometime away in a beautiful, wholesome environment.
Just hate January and want something fun in the diary to make life just that little bit easier.
Eat well, move gently, breathe freely, connect with like-minded people.
Return home feeling refreshed, aligned and inspired.
