​

What is included in the retreat?

Your retreat fee includes three nights’ accommodation at Pickwell Manor, the CFT teaching and experiential programme, yoga and breathwork sessions, a restorative sound bath, meals provided as part of the retreat programme, and use of the venue and grounds. A detailed programme will be shared nearer the time.

​

Will I receive CPD?

Yes. The retreat will include CPD and a certificate of attendance will be available after the retreat.

​

What are the retreat dates?

The retreat runs from 13–16 April 2027 at Pickwell Manor in North Devon.

​

What are the accommodation options?

For bookings made on or before 2 February 2027, the remaining balance is due by 2 February 2027. We will contact you beforehand with payment instructions.

Late bookings must be paid in full at the time of booking.  If a late booking is subsequently cancelled, the cancellation charge that applies on the date of cancellation will apply in the same way as for all other participants. 

​

​What happens if I need to cancel?

If you need to cancel your booking, please let us know as soon as possible.

​

• Before 2 February 2027: your £300 non-refundable deposit will be retained and any additional payments will be refunded.

• From 3 February to 22 February 2027: a cancellation charge of £600 will apply and any remaining amount paid will be refunded.

• From 23 February to 13 March 2027: a cancellation charge of £850 will apply and any remaining amount paid will be refunded.

If you are able to find someone suitable to take your place, and they complete the booking and payment process, we will refund any amount you have paid above the £300 non-refundable deposit.

​

​Why do the cancellation terms change as the retreat gets closer?

As the retreat approaches, accommodation and other retreat costs become increasingly committed and non-recoverable. The cancellation schedule is designed to reflect those commitments while still allowing a proportion of the retreat fee to be refunded where possible.

​

Can I transfer my place to someone else?

If you are unable to attend, please contact us as soon as possible. We may be able to allow your place to be transferred to another suitable participant, subject to availability and agreement.

​

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes. We will ask you about dietary requirements and allergies before the retreat and will pass these on to our caterer. Please give us as much detail as possible, particularly if you have a medically significant allergy or intolerance.

​

What happens if the retreat is cancelled?

If we need to cancel the retreat, we will refund the retreat fees you have paid to us. We strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance to cover illness, travel disruption and other circumstances that may prevent you from attending.

​

What should I bring?

A full suggested packing list will be sent before the retreat. We recommend comfortable clothing for the teaching and experiential sessions, suitable clothing and footwear for the grounds and coastal walks, and anything you would normally bring for yoga or relaxation activities. Maybe some trainers and running gear if you fancy an easy paced short run with Andrea. 

​

Will there be opportunities to spend time outdoors?

Yes. Pickwell Manor is set in beautiful North Devon countryside, with access to the grounds and nearby coastal walks. There may also be optional opportunities for gentle walks and informal outdoor activities during the retreat.

​

Is there parking?

Yes. Parking is available at Pickwell Manor.

​

Is the retreat accessible?

Pickwell Manor is a historic property and some areas may have steps, uneven surfaces or limited accessibility. If you have any mobility or accessibility requirements, please contact us before booking so that we can discuss what may be suitable.

​

How do I get to Pickwell Manor?
