This was a wonderful retreat, I had a amazing experience here. Sharpham is a beautiful house in a stunning location. The retreat leader was kind and gentle in her approach and this supported me immensely in my first introduction to mindfulness. The food was divine!!! I would definitely recommend this retreat for anyone embarking on their first journey into mindful meditation.

I attended the 5 night ‘Find Your Peace’ retreat led by Ethan Pollock and Nina Jankelson, who were both inspiring, holding, kind, and also brought a sense of light and humour! As well as having some rest, one of my aims was to bring a fresh perspective to my meditation practice, and in both senses, I got what I needed from the five days. Staying in Sharpham house was a nourishing and luxurious experience, especially having a dip in the small open air swimming pool every day! Ethan offered great teaching and in particular helped to bring a sense of acceptance and kindness into my meditation practice. I was also very grateful to Nina for encouraging a more direct experience of nature and belonging to the earth with the option of outdoor sitting meditation, and a wonderful practice laying on the ground under a beautiful tree which is estimated to be 1000 years old! Food and accommodation were superb and only added to a sense of being well and cared for.

Attended evening session in September 2021 learning about bats and the night sky. Nicely presented by Lisa of the Sharpham team together with Dartmoor Skies. Fascinating and left us wanting to learn more. Thank you. Sarah and Mark

Thoroughly recommend the 3 day Mindfulness & Meditation course to ignite or develop an existing interest. The setting is beautiful, food excellent, and the leaders friendly and helpful. I really appreciated my time at Sharpham, and think anyone with an open mind would benefit from what it has to offer. anynbe with

First off the setting is beautiful... and magical! The bell tents are set into the wood, it's pitch black at night and you can see the stars, perfect around the campfire 🔥 . Little paths take you all round the wood underneath the woodland canopy... perfect for exploring and finding private corners. The food is fabulous, I was more than happy to refrain from meat and my body seemed to really appreciate it. Most importantly you are guided and looked after by a team that are very knowledgeable and very in tune with nature and human nature. You are led into secret areas inside yourself without even knowing you were going to go there. This was very surprising for me, I was coaxed along up to my limits but with no pressure. I think this was needed for me, I'm not a sharing person and everything usually stays inside. I had some amazing experiences with nature and myself. I can not recommend this course highly enough whether as an individual looking for a deeper meaning to life, a reconnection with nature or just a way to reset from the stress of daily life and meet like minded individuals with some type of itch to scratch. And on this final note take plenty of mosquito repellant. These were the only unwelcome guests. Namaste 🙏
