Slow Winter

~ a new year’s retreat ~

After the busy-ness of Christmas, join us for a three night retreat to slow down, find some inner stillness and make space for the year ahead. 
Erth Barton, Saltash, Cornwall 
Thursday 28 January - Sunday 31 2027
from £795

Erth is a beautiful medieval manor set within 300 acres of regenerative farmland and woodland. Encircled by the tidal river Lynher and surrounded by clean air and abundant nature, it’s the perfect place to unwind for a long weekend. With a converted barn for dining, a cosy sitting room with a wood burner, fire pits, a sauna and a 12th century chapel for our yoga practice, Erth offers a beautiful, grounding energy in the slow part of the year.  

About Erth

Chloe George and Clare Proudfoot are experienced retreat hosts, who offer experiences that are transformative, playful and deeply restorative. Our retreats are nurturing, allowing your needs to be met while giving you space and freedom to reflect on where you’re at and what changes you might want to make in your life. Our spacious schedules offer plenty of opportunities to connect with others, alongside time to rest, swim, read or simply be.

We both teach intuitively, drawing on an understanding of the nervous system and meeting every body with compassion. Our approach is rooted in embodied practice, encouraging deep listening and authentic expression through movement.

We're delighted that so many guests return year after year, having discovered the value of taking time for themselves.

Our Approach

“Chloe and Clare, your space holding and facilitation is one in a million. My soul thanks you.”

— leslie

Yoga

We’ll start our day with light refreshments before an accessible, energising morning yoga practice before a hearty brunch. After lunch, in the late afternoon we’ll come back together for another practice more focused on stillness and rest.

Food

We’ll enjoy three meals a day of beautiful vegetarian food prepared for us by Leith’s trained retreat chef Sian from Stan’s Pantry. Please inform us of any allergies/intolerances upon booking.

Check-in/Check-out

We’ll be ready to welcome you to Erth from 4pm on Thursday with tea and cake. Check-out is 11am on Sunday after yoga and a farewell breakfast.
