About the Retreat

A nourishing pause at the height of summer

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year — a moment to pause, absorb the season's energy, and reconnect with what matters. This intimate half-day retreat at Flamingo Falls is designed to do exactly that.

Set within a secret sub-tropical botanical garden in Mobberley, Cheshire, the day moves gently through flowing yoga and a restorative yin practice led by yoga teacher Clare Broomhead, a slow mindful walk through the lush grounds, and a quiet space for intention-setting and rest. Niki Charnock leads a practical nutritional talk on balancing blood sugar, improving insulin resistance and boosting your body's natural GLP-1 production — tools you can take straight home. Wholesome seasonal snacks are provided throughout.

Whether you've been to a retreat before or this is your first time, this is a welcoming, grounding experience for anyone who needs to press pause and celebrate the summer.

“Niki's passion and enthusiasm is infectious — her patience in answering any question is endless. Everything we learned was accessible and simple to continue at home.”

— Jayne G., Wellness Retreat Guest, 2025
