The Sharpham Trust

5 Night Silent retreat was a moving experience.The grounds, the food and the facilitation were all to the very highest standards. The 5 days were the perfect opportunity to help enliven my connection to myself and to nature and to deepen my Mindfulness practice. A silent retreat isn’t for everyone and if you haven’t been on one before I would recommend spending time exploring the Sharpham website or getting in touch with them first, or simply looking for other retreats that they offer.I have also picked up their cookbook and will be enjoying making some mindful meals.Thank you again, and I look forward to a return visit.Tom

My retreat at Sharpham House has been life changing to me. My mind was totally blown by the beautiful nature of the estate. A truly magical getaway from daily life, which made me appreciate the big and small wonders of nature. Our retreat leaders were wonderful and passed on valuable insights and teachings. I've enjoyed the meditations, silent periods, walks in nature, the delicious meals, kind people, and the beautiful Sharpham House. This was my first retreat, and I'll undoubtedly be back.

The self-guided retreat in August was wonderfully restorative. Sharpham is such a beautiful place and it provides such warmth and support. This retreat offered free time for each of us to do what we chose; I wanted to draw and paint. Meditation both guided and silent, along with walking, drawing, silence, enjoying the beauty of the garden, delicious meals, and the pleasure of conversations, made it a perfect retreat.

I'd never done mindfulness before and i found it a fantastic and enlightening experience that personally helped me tackle my 'critical inner voice'. The setting is really special with gorgeous views of woodland and river. The food was also super tasty. Sharpham Trust are super cool

The Burnout retreat for developing tools to sustain yourself was excellent. The venue is amazing - comfort, care and delicious food from the staff, a beautiful building and stunning location and grounds to reconnect with nature. The retreat leaders were gentle and skilled at holding a safe space for us to allow ourselves to be vulnerable and create a feeling of close, supportive community in only 4 days. I am very grateful to have had this experience, thankyou Sharpham Trust!

A nourishing experience in beautiful surroundings with great food and comfortable rooms. Ideal for anyone who is tired stressed or just needs some time out.General retreats attract a wide variety of ages and backgrounds or there are specific ones for certain groups or some featuring particular activities. Lots of repeat custom shows how popular it is

I've been on a retreat at the Coach House and done the 8 week mindfulness course this year. And have booked another retreat to kick off the new year. The quality of the teaching, leading facilitating has been excellent and my time at Sharpham has had a noticeable impact on my life. I am more mindful, less easily stressed and am more able to handle my emotions skilfully. I'm very glad to have found Sharpham. P.S. the food on the retreats is fantastic

I had a truly wonderful experience on the Summer Embrace retreat. Our group leaders were so accommodating, accepting and supportive throughout. I met an amazing group of people and really felt a sense of close connection and community. Highly recommend these retreats for those wanting to become more mindful and embrace nature and tranquility.

I’ve fallen in love with Sharpham and will most definitely be back! This was my first retreat and what a magical bubble it provided in a busy world. It was wonderful to disconnect from the world, deepen my mindfulness practice, but most importantly reconnected me with myself. The focus on self compassion was just what I needed and a great balance of teaching and practise. The periods of silence allowed a safe space for deep reflection without ever feeling alone. I felt reconnected to nature in a way I haven’t felt since I was a child, whether that was watching the rain, listening to the wind, or simply in awe of the views. And it was great to be able to share the experience with a totally wonderful group of people. Ethan and Armel led the group brilliantly through the experience. Oh and the food was gorgeous.
