A PEACEFUL PLACE TO SIMPLY BE
Less rushing.
More room to breathe.
Sometimes what you need is a change of pace—and the space to hear yourself again.
Alka’s home in a quiet North Cornwall village offers a peaceful setting to unwind, feel nurtured and reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
Your retreat is planned in conversation with you. Choose time for personal sessions, cookery and local outings, or leave plenty of space for rest, reflection and simply enjoying the surroundings.
You do not need to fill every moment. This is your time.

WORDS FROM RETREAT GUESTS
A welcome that stays with you.
I left feeling restored, rejuvenated and it showed on my face. I haven’t felt so relaxed for a long time. I could laugh again and face life’s challenges with renewed vitality and optimism.
An oasis of calm, with beautiful home cooking full of Ayurvedic nourishment, time to oneself, colour readings, Ayurvedic assessment, visiting local beaches and Cornish sites, and of course the wonderful nurturing energy of Alka herself.
I spent some days with Alka and so enjoyed my stay. Her food is delicious, I slept so well and was so nurtured.
