Private retreats offer additional paths to rested practice, intimate settings with bespoke programming, whilst some focus on culinary restoration and others on retreats with a creative outlet such as writing, painting and movement through art medians. Many provide privacy with optional group experiences, allowing guests to choose their level of participation with group engagement.
