Hart Lake Retreat – Woodland Sanctuary with Private Lakeside Bliss


Duration: Monday-Thursday Location: Hart Lake Escapes, York, North Yorkshire


Tucked away in peaceful woodland and wrapped around a private lake, Hart Lake is a truly magical spot for your reset.

You’ll stay in one of five beautifully styled luxury shepherd huts—each with its own log burner, en suite bathroom, and wood-fired hot tub, perfect for starry-night soaks.

The tranquil setting invites you to switch off from the outside world and drop into the natural rhythm of the land.

With our practices held in the lakeside Octave workshop space, this retreat is designed to gently guide you back to balance—so you leave feeling restored, grounded, and reconnected to what really matters.

Calming Breathwork, Energising Movement, Emotional Energy Shifting Meditation, Skin and Digestive health boosting rituals that focus on what really matters when it comes to improving our quality of life.

My retreat focus on resetting your stress response and claiming your energy back. Tried and tested rituals - Yoga, breathwork, mindful movement, meditation, holistic skin and body care to help you unwind, restore and feel like yourself again.

Meet your Retreat Host

Debbie here, I’m a Stress and Energy Coach with a toolkit of Movement, Mindfulness and Holistic Therapy practices and rituals that hold the power to change how you feel. I have created these retreats because I know exactly how it feels to be stuck in the cycle of stress, exhaution, and never quite getting enough time to reset. After my own run-ins with burnout and anxiety, I leaned into yoga, breathwork, seasonal living, holistic therapies and simple rituals - not as a luxury, but as a lifeline. And they work, not overnight, but consistently, gently, and powerfully.

Now I share these tools with women like you - busy, brilliant, tired of runningon empty, and craving space to feel good again. My approach is grounded, nuturing, and real. No preaching, no perfection - just the kind of support and soul soothing practices that help you breathe easier, move better, sleep deeper and glow from the inside out.

This retreat isnt about escaping your life - it’s about resetting your releastionship with it. You’ll leave with more energy, more calm, and a toolkit you can actually use when life gets loud.

Whether your brand new to this or deep into your wellbeing journey, you’re exactly where you need to be and I cant wait to welcome you. xx
