To say it was life changing sounds like a cliché but really it was
Meeting people you'd wish you'd known all your life, but then kind of feeling like you have. Making connections in body, mind and spirit. Having everything you've been working on come together and understanding yourself a bit better. .

Where you will relax & restore
This is one of the most unique places you can get for a weekend of soul-full living. Located on the outskirts of an ancient forest on the beautiful Isle of Wight, your accommodation is a stay in an award-winning Tiny Home.
These quirky eco-friendly homes may be tiny, but they feel anything but, they’ve been designed with space and comfort in mind. Think cozy nooks, wood burners, lush interiors, outside decks and plenty of crisp white linen and towels.
Decelerate your life and get back to the simple things
Each home is beautifully, and cleverly designed and crafted and has its own kitchen, shower and toilet, wood-burning stove and outside deck.

Relax in the wood-fired spa
Enjoy some relaxation time in the traditional wood fired sauna and wood-fired hot tub situated in the meadow.
Choosing to go to the Practical Magic Spring Retreat was one of the best things I've ever done for myself.
It was wonderful - the space, the people, the rituals, the food, everything was just amazing. I left with a full heart, a deeper understanding of myself and such a sense of calm and clarity.
– REBECCA, RETREAT GUEST
Deep, transformational work with a lightness of touch that is rare.
Kate Taylor’s retreats are always beautifully curated. Tiny Homes on the Isle of Wight is the perfect location for a weekend retreat. The little self-contained eco homes provide cosy accommodation, while the studio space is light and airy, and nutritious, wholesome food, always prepared with immense love, supports the work of the retreat. I will definitely book again.
