Harmonies of the Heart

Harmonies of Essence Singing Retreat

Discover the Heart of Your Essence

At the centre of who we are lies our essence, and one of the most powerful ways to reach it is through shared song. Over three immersive days in beautiful Devon, we’ll open ourselves to the joy, love and connection that arises when voices come together.

We’ll sing simple harmonies and rounds from traditions around the world, creating a shared soundscape that is uplifting, grounding and deeply unifying. Through this musical weaving, we’ll touch the qualities that help our essence come alive: stillness, strength, spaciousness, courage, peace, joy, compassion and love.

Alongside the singing, there will be moments of deep inquiry and heartfelt conversation, offering space to let the experience settle and integrate. You’ll also have time for solitude and reflection, with the backdrop of peaceful greenery, welcoming cottages, gentle walks, a swimming pool and sauna, and nourishing meals to support both body and spirit.

Come as you are and leave with your voice, heart and essence revitalised

The Grade II listed stone barns have been converted to a high standard without losing the character of the buildings, which are full of original features such as stone walls, exposed wooden beams and roof trusses. Facilities include an indoor pool and sauna.

The cottages are a 30-minute drive from J27 of the M5.

Healthy, vegetarian meals made from fresh, local ingredients will be served daily. Simple, balanced dishes to support wellness and energy throughout the retreat. Dairy-free and gluten-free diets can be catered for with notice.
