Yoga and Mindfulness Weekend
With Jean & Liz (Lark)
OCTOBER 10-12, 2025
SHARPHAM ESTATE, DEVON,UK
This weekend retreat with Liz Lark and Jean is set within the stunning Sharpham Estate, a designated area of outstanding beauty along the River Dart.
VENUE AND Location
Sharpham House is nestled within 550 acres of stunning countryside that includes rewilded meadows, ancient woodlands and tranquil gardens that all support wildlife habitat. It was originally built in 1260, and over the centuries it has been expanded and redeveloped throughout its history of colourful owners! Today Sharpham is owned and cared for by The Sharpham Trust, a registered charity, who’s mission is to create a more mindful, compassionate and environmentally sustainable world. The House and extensive grounds retain a timeless magic and as a retreat centre it offers an ideal setting for spiritual practice and a deep connection with nature.
Yoga AND MINDFULNESS PRACTICES
With 2 teachers and 2 beautiful yoga studios we are able to accommodate all levels of yoga experience and mindful meditation. We offer both beginner classes and intermediate/advance classes concurrently throughout the weekend.
The retreat begins on Friday afternoon. Arrivals are from 3pm onwards, so there is plenty of time to explore and enjoy the beautiful setting before the first yoga class at 4:30pm. Supper is followed at 6:00pm. Evening sound immersion and yoga nidra sessions are offered at 7.30pm to complete the first day.
Classes for all levels continue over the weekend, with 3 classes on Saturday and another 2 on Sunday. The retreat closes on Sunday at 12pm (noon).
The teachers, Jean and Liz met whilst studying Master Degrees in Performing Arts. They continue to study and teach in the fields of Somatic Education, Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditation and Creative Arts in London and internationally.
MEALS
All meals (breakfast, lunch & supper) are vegetarian. Whilst here, you’re invited to engage in the spirit of community and co-operation with the house staff and fellow participants. We ask guests to tidy the dining room and the kitchen after meals. There is also the option for those who would like to be involved in preparing vegetables for lunch and dinner. In this way staying at Sharpham offers a warm, communicative and inclusive experience that differs from staying at a conference centre or hotel.
