Why this retreat
A weekend can feel longer when nothing is asking you to rush.
Most weekends disappear into errands, screens, and unfinished plans. This one replaces the usual routine with two days of guided practice, shared meals, and time outdoors, without requiring a long break from work or family.
Yoga, meditation, sound healing, an aqua sound bath, and group activities are spaced across the weekend, with time to eat, walk, rest, and settle in between.
No previous experience required.
- No yoga experience needed
- No meditation experience needed
- Come alone or with someone you know
Worth knowing
This is a scheduled small-group retreat, not a spa stay. We encourage you to join the full programme, but you may sit out any activity that does not feel right for you.
How the weekend unfolds
Two days of guided practice, shared experiences, and time to rest.
Day 1 combines movement, sound healing, and group activities. Day 2 brings yoga, meditation, and the aqua sound bath.

THE WEGATHR EXPERIENCE
What thoughtful hosting looks like.
People trust us with their time, and we don't take that lightly. We want every person who joins us to feel genuinely cared for and feel glad that they came. That makes us particular about every decision, including the ones participants may never see.
We choose facilitators for fit.We consider how they teach, communicate and work with groups, not credentials alone.
We plan the complete experience.We consider sessions, meals, transitions and personal time together, so the retreat feels cohesive rather than packed.
We stay present throughout.Our team remains on site to manage the practical details and respond when something needs attention.
