About The Retreat
Working with the natural theme of Harewood Holistics by bringing in the healing energy of nature and the resonant frequencies of our heart, brain and mother Earth.
Re-harmonising our frequencies by tuning into our intuition, our connection to ourselves, Earth & the collective consciousness.
As humans our natural resonant frequency matches that of the earth itself. The very pulse of the Earth beats at 7.83 Hz. This matches human consciousness at the optimal alpha brain wave state for relaxation.
We will be using a combination of Yoga asana, pranayama (breath-work), sound healing, crystals and the earth itself to re-tune our energies, brainwaves and vagal tone.
Activating our parasympathetic nervous system consciously helps train our body and mind into feeling safe, grounded and peaceful.
Escaping from the stresses and demands of life not only physically but also mentally, energetically and spiritually.
We welcome you to the stunning setting that is the Harewood Estate, which is its very own country oasis nestled nicely between Leeds and Harrogate.
Our retreat is special as we work with the region’s most experienced teachers. The cottage is refurbished to an extremely high standard and we are set within the beautiful Harewood Estate. The Arch Barn is newly refurbished and state of the art, offering Yorkshire’s highest level of retreat experience.

What past guests have said
”The Arch Barn is such a lovely location and the studio is beautiful and serene. I love coming to Harewood, not just for the well-being activities but for the whole package it offers. You have created a lovely space and I really look forward to my classes with Matt. The plants in the atrium instantly make you feel relaxed”
“We had the best stay in the cottages and Harewood Estate. A huge thank you to all the staff who made us feel extremely welcomed and well looked after. I wish we could have stayed for longer. We loved exploring Harewood and lighting the fire in the evening. The hot tub was an amazing way to relax and warm up, with its beautiful views over the deer park.”
“Thank you for my deeply relaxing massage. Emma really knows her stuff and worked into the muscle knots I have. I haven’t been getting as many aches and will definitely be back”.
