Here at Shekinashram, we are perfectly set up for those who wish to take time out of the usual routine, to rest and rejuvenate. Those who visit say how peaceful it is here; a place which is totally conducive to allowing yourself to just Be for a while.

You can create your own retreat, dependent upon your own deepest requirements… Your room is your own for your entire stay, and can be your hermitage. We can make lunch available for you, and can assist you in suggestions for your evening meal (which you can prepare here in the kitchen). There are also cafés and restaurants in town if this is preferred, and also a very good wholefood shop locally.

You may choose to do very little whilst you are here, you may want to deepen your spiritual practice or partake of our weekly programme, browse our library, join us for morning meditation, take a relaxing therapy, learn how to prepare vegan food by assisting in lunch preparation, idle away in the garden, or take a walk up over sacred Chalice Hill to the Tor and the fields beyond.

A retreat at Shekinashram is a stay from one week upwards, and the rates are lower than normal Bed and Breakfast rates. Please phone to enquire further (from £15.20 per night in the cabin inclusive of breakfast). Please phone if you would like further details of our prices and retreat facilities (01458 832 300).

For those who want to experience ashram life in the Bhakti Yoga way we offer a 1 or 2 week programme 'Karma Yoga Exchange Programme' On this programme you can have an opportunity to experience all facets of yogic life and it is only £50 for the whole week inclusive.
