Lismore Retreat
Launching summer 2026
Escape to serenity in Martinborough for a transformative women's wellness retreat. Immerse yourself in nurturing holistic wellness practices.
This retreat is about more than a weekend away. It’s a full nervous system reset, an immersion in the kind of practices that bring the mind, body, and spirit back into harmony. Across the weekend, we’ll explore nourishing holistic wellness practices to bring you fully into presence. These tools are designed to be able to take home with you, to support you through real-life moments, challenges, and transitions.
You’ll receive accessible Ayurvedic knowledge for daily living — understanding how the body expresses imbalance, and how to nourish yourself physically, emotionally, and energetically. We’ll explore how ancient wisdom can be simply woven into modern life to support vitality, clarity, and peace.
There will be guided meditations that support emotional release and inner stillness, as well as breathwork journeys, pranayama sessions, and embodied practices that gently restore the nervous system and open the heart.
There will also be an immersive sound therapy session featuring Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, handpan and gentle kirtan, woven into both stand-alone workshops and live-accompanied yoga sessions.
We’ll touch into the philosophies of Ayurveda and Buddhist-inspired awareness (Vipassana) offering small but potent teachings to bring your life into deeper alignment and clarity.
All of this is held in the most exquisite setting — Lismore House, a private, luxury estate nestled among the vines. The property includes a heated saltwater pool, a spa under the stars, and stunning king suites, most with their own beautifully designed private bathrooms. You’ll be able to rest in luxury, breathe in fresh country air, and take time out to simply be.
