Spiritual Summer Retreat 2026 – Soulful Living

Monday 29th June – Sunday 5th July · Peak District · See below

A retreat dedicated to awakening the Soul, and discovering what it means to truly live from it.

“The paradox with God is that, He cannot be found by seeking, though only those who seek can find Him.”

Set in the breath-taking nature of the Peak District, this week-long retreat is a heartful invitation for those who feel the Call — to awaken the Soul and discover what it truly means to live from it. Through authentic, simple, yet deeply effective spiritual methods, connected with the five sheaths/koshas – physical, subtle breath, mind and emotions, supramental-superior intuition and the sheath of beatitude – we will explore how every dimension of our being can become a living instrument of soulful living.

Each day will unfold gently upon the last, weaving together practice, presence, nature, play, joy and authentic connection — because nothing in daily life is to be excluded from the sacred.

In the afternoons we will delve deeper inward — into the radiance of the body, the rich landscape of the consciousness, the depth of our emotions, and the luminous, ever-surprising vividness of the soul.

Evenings will offer something equally precious: reflection, connection, laughter, joy and the simple warmth of meaningful togetherness — for soulful living is not only found in practice, but in every shared moment met with awareness.

Together, we will learn to hear the soul’s quiet guidance moving through the rhythms of each day. And as the week draws to a close, we will leave not only refreshed, but also filled with love — and with something to carry home: a clearer, lived sense of how to bring genuine spirituality into the fullness of everyday life, so that stillness and presence become not a retreat luxury, but a way of being.

Why join the Summer Retreat?

The Spiritual Summer Retreat is a wonderful opportunity for us to be together, to learn and evolve together in a warm, friendly, nature-filled ambience.

Outside the big cities, in the nourishing green of the Peak District, we can leave behind the stressors of daily life and experience a whole week of spiritual nourishment and soul awakening.

We have been holding our annual Spiritual Summer Retreat in the UK since 2005, and each year it offers many revelations to those who participate. Our teachers all have 10–20 years of experience as practitioners and teachers in Yoga and Tantra, and will guide you with expertise throughout the retreat.

What is unique about this retreat?

It is not your typical yoga retreat. It’s not focused on exploring Yoga solely through practice on the mat. Nor is it like our Polarity Retreat, which explores the dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies through the lens of pure Eros.

Instead, the Summer Retreat offers a rich programme of daily yoga and meditation, complemented by inspiring talks and engaging, interactive workshops – all centred around the unique theme chosen for the year. There is also time to unwind and recharge in nature, to dance and celebrate together, and to honour the journey with a closing ceremony that helps to crystallise and deepen insights from the retreat.

Each retreat is one of a kind, shaped by its theme and the presence of everyone who takes part. Yet something always remains the same – a renewed sense of aspiration, a deeper thirst for truth, and a heartfelt connection with something greater than ourselves.

Come and experience it for yourself and see what you will discover!

Testimonials from past Summer Retreats

The retreat made me get in touch with, experience and feel part of the wonderful divine world we live in, and sharing this time with so many beautiful souls made it even more special.

ChrissyTantra student

The organisers have done a magnificent job — everything was thought through. They made a magical week for us. The teachings were very insightful and profound, and together with the evening programmes were one of the best parts, something that made an impact on me beyond the retreat!

AnonymousTantra student, London

The teachings I eagerly received and the Souls I was granted to meet have brought me precious insights. They deeply inspired me to continuously practise “The Art of Living from the Soul”. I dare say that now, 11 months after last year’s Summer Retreat, I still follow the intention we were invited to set at the closure of a wonderful week.

Ilse Minnebach

Loved it. Every moment. It broke down my walls and allowed me to grow into the space created. It has changed my outlook on life and I am truly grateful for being part of this!

LouiseTantra practitioner

It was a wonderful retreat. I was deeply touched by its beauty — the care, generosity, openness, optimism, love, joy and wisdom shared by the teachers, team and participants. The week was truly Heaven on Earth. Thank you very much!

LotusTantra practitioner

Beautiful retreat place, and not too far from London. Best food ever — I could stay there forever! I’m blissfully happy. It was amazing. Thanks so much for everything.

GraziaTantra student

I felt so nourished to be together with such a loving community, experiencing and going deeper into the yogic teachings.

Rhiannon

Each day was beautifully constructed to allow opportunities for development and integration. I liked the freedom given to participants “to be”, but also the structure created to explore different topics beautifully. Thank you for being the school that taught me how to love again — I have had the chance to open doors I did not even know were closed, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Natalie Dalis

The retreat provided me the space to be creative and connect with my inner child. It helped me go deeper into what happiness is for me and explore the desires of my soul. A safe place to laugh, cry, and dance freely.

Melanie Knight

I enjoyed experiencing all the love, care, food, beauty, flowers, the community created, music, teachings, and the creative art workshops, which were very transformative. The most special was the Angel Walk.

Richa Muktlia

I experienced a sense of community and the creation of a heart-filled space in which to explore our spiritual journey. I appreciated the beauty and creativity of the exercises, in which I had a breakthrough that all I need is ‘to be’. It was perfect in every way. I will come back!

Helen

I liked the variety of workshops with different themes each day. I enjoyed the hugs, the sharing, the dancing, the yoga, the meditation, the pool, the hot tub, and being in connection with people. The ritual was mind-blowing, as was the painting and poem writing.

Joe

I particularly appreciated and really enjoyed the meditations, as they really made me contemplate, and the music supporting the activities was transcendental.

Trisha

The place is wonderful, and the karma yogis worked very hard to make it special. I love the spontaneity. I particularly appreciated the Angel Walk and dancing.
