The Venue

Waterperry House is a unique retreat venue, run by a meditation practitioner who, for 50 years, has been meditating for the wellbeing of all. The Waterperry estate is a space that holds pristine energy.

You will have plenty of opportunities to explore the expansive, landscaped grounds, meditate in the silent garden and enjoy quietude and exquisite beauty.

The retreat workshops will take place in spacious and light-filled rooms in the main house.
The stunning manor offers cosy and pretty accommodations with gorgeous views over the estate. Most bedrooms can be single or shared occupancy.

FOOD

Eating with the intention of supporting, building and nourishing our bodies and hearts is an important part of my wellbeing philosophy. In this retreat, I will bring you towards understanding how to initiate and maintain a nutritious, rejuvenating, and delicious lifestyle.

For the past two decades, I have been experiencing and sharing the benefits of a 70% vegetable and 30% (mostly plant-based) protein diet with wonderful results.

Most vegetables we serve on our retreats are all grown at Waterperry House in their organic gardens. We cook freshly every day in the welcoming, professional kitchen, where people tend to gather between workshops to chat and help out. If you would like to be involved in the cooking – just let me know when you book.

RETREAT AS INITIATION

Together, we prepare the body, creating a safe container where you can surrender and let die what is not serving us. 
In the process of undertaking the cleanse, you let go of the parts of yourself that have unconsciously adopted unhealthy habits and ways of seeing yourself; you are reborn into the version of yourself that is aligned with all that you value: your dharma. 
We emerge feeling rejuvenated and with the ability to envision a new future for ourselves. Every retreat allows us to heal and celebrate as a community, a sangha.

“We were talking today about what an impact your retreat has had on us – particularly Abi. She has gained so much confidence and zest for life in the last 6 months, helped by fantastic GCSE results and really enjoying studying for her A Levels at our local 6th form college. We have also both stopped eating meat and are pescetarian (on our way to being vegetarian *;) winking ). We are both feeling the health benefits and have much improved complexion, hair and nails. We have also been enjoying doing yoga”

Lara Joyce & Daughter

“Rina’s weekend detox retreat was an absolute breath of fresh air. The balance of invigorating morning yoga and a deeply restorative afternoon yin session fully satisfied my yoga cravings, whilst the exceptional juices, salads, soups and snacks all freshly prepared nourished me far more than expected. There was space within the weekend to snooze, read, walk and massage yet the best bit of all was that I left having learnt a lot about nutrition. Thanks to Rina bee pollen and chaga tea are now weekly staples and my body has never been happier!”

Alex Chayney

“Rina created a nourishing, calming space . I loved the balance of yoga, walking, free time for thinking and reflecting, and cooking yummy food together. I considered myself someone who already knew a lot about healthy eating but I learnt a lot, and got fired up to learn more especially about superfoods after the retreat.”

Teresa Fabian, Financial Advisor, London

“Rina’s Spring Detox and yoga retreat was exactly what I needed; like minded individuals, discovering beautiful fresh healthy food (if you are feeling bored with your normal diet and uninspired walking around the supermarket, discovering these yummy foods is perfect), yoga with Rina (boy do I miss her yoga sessions, her narrative, pure love of the practice, knowledge and humour are unique) and peaceful walks in beautiful countryside. It was a real privilege to have a whole weekend dedicated to really looking after myself surrounded by amazing people. What an experience, thank you Rina and to everyone else that was there, a truly special group.”

Lindsay Whyte, Barrister, Bristol

“Rina created a wonderful nourishing space, and her yoga and meditation classes took me beyond my previous experience to a calm, warm and beautiful place in my mind whilst enabling me to make new shapes with my body. The food we cooked was delicious – I really did not know healthy food could be so incredible – and I learned a lot about feeding my body with the nutrients it craves to work best. The surroundings were divine and the group sessions supportive and illuminating. I left feeling refreshed and uplifted with my mind and body truly detoxed, relaxed and energised. I can really only describe the experience as magnificent. I am so grateful I went, it is probably the most positive thing I have done for myself in a very long time.”

Lara Whyte, Journalist, London

“Rina weaves a wonderful web of well-being, drawing on so many inspiring traditions around the world- be it Ayurvedic, Native American shamanism, or wisdom from African healing traditions. This makes her approach to teaching yoga and healthy eating truly unique, original and most of all enjoyable”

Joanna Webber, Bruton

Forest Dweller Course

Vanaprastha, the pre-menopause, and during-menopause stage of life.

January 13th, 20th and 27th, 2024, 10 am-12 pm, GMT, Online.

Your body is not betraying you, it’s just realigning to the new version of yourself.

I’ve been in that stage for a few years now. In the beginning, my body changed dramatically, my hormones were all over the place, I gained weight, had brain fog, I struggled with sleep and digestion, and I didn’t feel like myself anymore.

I hear the very same experiences from many of my clients, they feel exhausted.

Now that our pleasing hormone oestrogen is going down, we feel that we had enough of taking care of others while neglecting our own needs, we want to slow down and visit our inner forest more frequently.

If you feel that, know it will all pass you are just going through initiation.

Join me on a three-session course to learn about the third stage of life- vanaprastha, the forest dweller, as they call it in the Vedic/yogic tradition.

Feeling supported and seen is important at this point when things are coming to an end, and you are still in the unknown, not yet clear about the next stage of your life, what the mystics call the ‘tempering’ process.

I’ll closely guide you on how to nourish yourself, your body, your mind, and your soul to ensure you benefit from this stage while becoming a powerful force of wisdom.

Session 1, Nourishment

you will learn how to nourish your body and take care of your hormonal body so you feel and look well and avoid the imbalances women start to feel at this stage of life. We will cover physical practices and food that can support you.

Session 2 Mindset

You will learn ways to understand yourself more and your new needs, how to deepen your intimacy with the new version of you, and through that, receive the knowledge to find satisfaction again.

Session 3, Soulful

I’ll share ideas for practices, and meditations from mystic traditions to help you feel grounded while you follow the calling to be more still and to feel held while you are unbecoming so that you can come out from the other side freer to be your true self, unapologetically.

This course is for ALL women who want to understand more deeply the pre- and during-menopause stage of life.

We will gather on January 13th, 20th and 27th, 10 am-12 pm, GMT, Online.

What are you really hungry for?

Let’s talk about emotional eating.

December Tuesday, 19th from 7-8:20 pm GMT

For me being with the family is when I eat the most carbs, because sweet flavour is connected in our brain to breast milk, hence being nurtured.

We are all hungry for love, but it’s not going to be in the fridge

All the diets failed, therapy can over-dig in childhood stories, and the supplements just won’t do it.

It’s a real thing – addiction, and through connection, firstly, with ourselves, we can find compassionate ways to heal it.

Join us to explore ways to take another step or two towards healing or at least understanding how to restore your relationship with food.

The last 20 minutes for Q&A

A Christmas you can actually enjoy

December Saturday, 16th 10 am GMT

If you think you are enlightened, go to visit your family.

We are all so excited about the holiday period but for many *it turns into an exhausting experience – stressful financially, physically and mentally.

I hear from many clients how they dread Xmas; fear of falling out with family members; feelings that they are going back to old patterns they thought they’d healed; gaining weight and feeling low, even depressed.

In this one-hour session, I’ll share

Ways you can stay centred while being triggered

Manage stress and create time for rest

Ways to enjoy rich food while still feeling light

The last 20 minutes will be for Q&A.

Finding Sanity in Times of Madness

When we are bombarded with devastating information, we are constantly on our sympathetic nervous system, our digestive system slows down* and we forget what we believe, who we are and what our voice is in all the noise.

In the first hour, you’ll learn how to:

⎊ Regulate your nervous system.

⎊ Avoid Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

⎊ Find hope amid the storm.

The last 20 minutes will be for Q&A.

Kind Words

“Overall, Rina has enabled me to get back in contact with my true self after 10 years of hibernation. My work started with Rina when I felt I’d really reached a full stop, I was lost and felt there was no one I could talk to. I am convinced this was one of the most important things I have done to help myself. Now I am energised, and revitalised, I’ve remembered who I am and have the confidence to work towards my truth. I don’t have the answers but I am happy that I am on the right path.”
