What if you want to design your own retreat experience?

Try our self-guided mindfulness and meditation retreats at The Sharpham Trust - a charity specialising in nature-mindfulness and Mindfulness-Based Nature Connection.

Experience a more spacious time with us, or design your own retreat structure for your stay on the Sharpham Estate.

These type of retreats are for people who are experienced in meditation and in going on retreats.

We've been offering meditation and mindfulness retreats for more than 40 years - long before mindfulness went mainstream.

If you've got an existing meditation practice, or you'd like to rejuvenate yours (and you have retreat experience), consider trying these self-guided, personal retreats within our stunning and peaceful landscape in South Devon.
