Sunnyside Retreat

Sunnyside Retreat Sunnyside Retreat is now open, you can find us in a village called Laverton, just outside of Bath, Somerset in the UK.

Sunnyside Retreat is a beautiful space found in the countryside between Bath and Frome. The creation of Laura Exton and Chris Ireland, after moving here with there family in December 2019 with a view to open the doors for air bnb in 2020. Of course life took a turn for everyone and so did the plans for surviving the pandemic. Laura is a wellbeing therapist and coach, with almost 30 years in servic

e to others through hands on therapy, she had to find a new way to share and serve. You can now see Laura online for coaching and nurture. Her passion is to support you to heal from your past by making you priority in your own life. So often we lose ourselves to our family, our career, to trauma, to everything that shouts louder than we do. We become ill ,dis-eased, exhausted, when we are serving from an empty cup, Laura's passion it to help you to always fill your own cup first. With the help of plant magic as a qualified Aromatherapist, along with many other skills learnt over a life long education in healing her own story. Chris is the technical director of Bristol Twenty Coffee Company. A family business that has been serving the coffee industry for many years. A passionate, loving, nurturing man, who is really happy when he is creating something new out of the old. Up-cycling, recycling, repurposing, creating beautiful spaces that hold the most amazing energy and love. The co-creation of Sunnyside Retreat has been a beautiful sharing of their life experiences, healing and love, and now they are ready to open their home and Gertie the insulated, heated 8m yurt to you. Along with space to camp, air bnb, and to stay in the house, with a great kitchen, bathroom, and the best view of the Somerset countryside. At Sunnyside Retreat you can expect regular classes, workshops, retreats, dances, a house that holds you, support, nurture and care, with the odd pop up cafe thrown in for good measure, great coffee and lots of cake!!! Gertie the yurt is available to hire for your own retreats, workshops and classes. She can also be rented out for family stays, air bnb, and time to just be! Sunnyside Retreat looks forward to feeling your presence soon.

I have a beautiful woodland retreat coming up next week, just two single spaces left, or you can share if there are some friends who might like to come. This is not our usual offering, it is to be a part of the end of our circle training retreat. It will be a chance to dive in, and be held in circle, to be in the woods, to eat together, to celebrate together, to heal and make new connections. Hosted by myself, the founder of Sacred Sister Community, all food included, bring your own bedding and towels.

It's MONDAY.......if you are heading to work today, please consider our crowdfunder!
Can you share with your boss, colleagues, HR, anyone who may have access to funds! If you are part of a big organisation or corporation, often they hold pots for such ventures.......
Let's get sharing, together I know we can do this!
Here is the link, it is easy to copy and paste to your own walls, to share a post in groups that you are a part of, tag in your friends so they have an easy option for it to be on their walls, whatsapp, insta, tiktok, lets go share, because even if people do not have the funds, they may share it, and you never know.
This is how we make a difference, this is how we find a new way!

To create a physical space in nature for women to come together. To learn, heal from life's traumas and to empower them to shine their light

"Each one of us is alone in the world. It takes great courage to meet the full force of your aloneness. Most of the activity in society is subconsciously designed to quell the voice crying in the wilderness within you. The mystic Thomas a Kempis said that when you go out into the world, you return having lost some of yourself. Until you learn to inhabit your aloneness, the lonely distraction and noise of society will seduce you into false belonging, with which you will only become empty and weary.

When you face your aloneness, something begins to happen. Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes into a sense of true belonging. This is a slow and open-ended transition but it is utterly vital in order to come into rhythm with your own individuality. In a sense this is the endless task of finding your true home within your life. It is not narcissistic, for as soon as you rest in the house of your own heart, doors and windows begin to open outwards to the world. No longer on the run from your aloneness, your connections with others become real and creative. You no longer need to covertly scrape affirmation from others or from projects outside yourself.

This is slow work; it takes years to bring your mind home.""
