RADIANT WAVES RETREATS

WINTER RESET RETREAT

Kent

Wickhambreaux, Kent2 nightsNovember 2026From £550

Overview

Return to a radiant you.

We’re heading to the Kent countryside for a restorative Winter Reset. Step away from the everyday rush and settle into a weekend of soulful movement, fresh country air and time to slow down.

We’ll warm up with grounding yoga flows in our beautiful studio, wrap up for a countryside walk to the pub and come back rosy-cheeked for a soak in the wood-fired hot tub. Think hearty dinners around the table, a cosy film night and plenty of time to pull on your comfiest clothes and settle in by the fire.

Just a short train ride from London, it’s an easy Friday-to-Sunday escape with no need to take time off work. Give yourself two nights to catch your breath before the Christmas rush.

Your home

Our home for the weekend is a countryside sanctuary just a short train ride from London. Set in 19 acres of Kent countryside, this purpose-built yoga retreat centre is a collection of characterful cottages, secret gardens and winding paths. It was once home to Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie. For two nights, it’s ours.

At the heart of the retreat is a beautiful yoga shala with underfloor heating, so it’s lovely and warm when we roll out our mats on a chilly November morning. We’ll stay in cosy cottages, with a snug living room where we can pull on our thick socks, put the kettle on and catch up by the fire.

Take your coffee for a wander around the grounds or head straight out from the house and follow the country lanes along the River Little Stour.

Then it’s boots by the door and a soak in the wood-fired hot tub. If the skies are clear, we’ll stay out a little longer under the stars. Or you can flop onto a sofa and listen to the fire crackle.

Kind words from our guests

“I’ve just come back from the most incredible few days in the French Alps. Sophie and Josh went above and beyond to create such a thought-through retreat to the smallest of details. The yoga was the perfect mix of flows and stretching and the hikes had the most breathtaking views. The food was amazing too, you definitely won’t go hungry. I couldn’t recommend Radiant Waves enough. I have left feeling so energised and genuinely didn’t stop smiling the whole time, which is a testament to what Sophie and Josh have created. I wish I could go back and do it all again.”

Good to know

Why a Winter Reset?
  • Pause before Christmas: Step away from the end-of-year rush and create some much-needed breathing room before the festive season begins.
  • Embrace the season: Crisp countryside walks, warming food, glowing fires and cosy evenings make winter something to enjoy, rather than endure.
  • Rest and restore: Grounding movement, restorative practices and unhurried afternoons give your body and mind the chance to properly unwind.
  • Reconnect with yourself: Swap busy schedules and endless notifications for fresh air, thoughtful movement and time to simply be.
  • Share the experience: Gather around the table, laugh, move and create lasting memories with a welcoming group of people.
  • Escape close to home: Enjoy the feeling of a proper countryside retreat without flights, long journeys or complicated planning.
  • Return feeling restored: Head home rested, re-energised and ready to move into the final weeks of the year with renewed energy.
Why Radiant Waves Retreats?
  • Community energy: Small intimate groups, big connection. Come alone or with a friend and quickly feel part of a warm, welcoming community where strangers become friends.
  • Thoughtfully curated: From uplifting morning movement and countryside walks to restorative evenings, warming food and fireside moments, every part of the weekend has been carefully considered.
  • Nourishing food: Wholesome, seasonal meals designed to warm the body, bring people together and leave you feeling properly nourished.
  • Hosted with heart: Radiant Waves is founder-led and personally hosted by Josh & Sophie. Every detail is shaped by our firsthand experience, thoughtful planning and passion for creating meaningful experiences.
  • It’s your weekend: Join every session or take some time to rest, read and simply be. There is no pressure to do everything. This is your retreat, and we want you to enjoy it in the way that feels right for you.
  • Return to a radiant you: More than simply a weekend away, this is a chance to reconnect with yourself and return home feeling rested, re-energised and ready for whatever comes next.
Can I come alone?
  • Absolutely. Most of our guests come on their own, so you’ll be in good company. We’ll get to know each other over Friday’s welcome dinner, and there’s plenty of time to chat on the walk to the pub or over a cuppa by the fire.
  • You can book a spot in a shared room or the dorm, or choose a private room if you’d like your own space to unwind.
Am I the right age for this retreat?
  • You’re welcome at Radiant Waves whatever your age. If a weekend of yoga in a warm studio, a countryside walk to the pub and a good chat by the fire sounds like your thing, we’d love to have you along.
  • Most of our guests are in their mid-20s to early 40s, and we’ve welcomed guests both younger and older.
  • If you’d like to get a feel for the weekend before you book, give us a shout. We’d love to have a quick chat and answer any questions.
How do I get there?
  • By train: The easiest way to reach us is by train to Canterbury West. High-speed services from London St Pancras take around 50 minutes, followed by a short 10-minute drive to the venue. We’ll recommend a specific train and help coordinate shared taxis or station collections closer to the retreat, making the journey as easy as possible.
  • By car: The venue is around 90 minutes from London by car, depending on traffic. The retreat is located just outside the village of Wickhambreaux, near Canterbury, with parking available on-site. Car sharing is always encouraged. It’s more sociable, more affordable and a little kinder to the planet.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a travel guide with more details on your options so it’s easy to choose a route and plan your journey.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
  • Check-in is from 4pm.
  • Check-out is by 3pm.
Do I need to be good at yoga?
  • No. If you’re new to yoga, we’ll guide you through the poses and offer options so you can find your rhythm.
  • If you practise regularly, we’ll turn up the dial with more challenging variations and give you time to explore familiar poses in more depth.
  • With several sessions over the weekend, we can build from one class to the next. You’ll have time to revisit what we’ve worked on and try new things as you go.
What’s the weather like?
  • It’s the British countryside in mid-November, so expect crisp days, chilly temperatures and a chance of rain. Pack warm layers and waterproofs, and we’ll be ready to embrace whatever the weather brings.
  • We’ll adapt our plans as we go, enjoying the contrast between wrapping up for winter walks in the fresh country air and returning to the house for nourishing food, restorative movement, a soak in the hot tub and time beside the fire. For us, the winter weather is all part of the experience: embracing the elements and returning rosy-cheeked to somewhere warm and cosy.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a detailed packing guide so you know what to bring and can get ready for the adventure.
What can I expect?
  • Our mornings will begin with warm, fluid practices designed to awaken the body and gently build energy for the day ahead. After a nourishing breakfast, we’ll wrap up warm and head into the crisp winter air for countryside walks, with an optional cold-water dip for anyone feeling brave.
  • Active mornings will give way to slower, more thoughtful afternoons. Read beside the fire, paint, enjoy the hot tub, have a chat or simply take some time for yourself. Everything is optional, and there will be plenty of space to follow your own rhythm.
  • As evening draws in, we’ll return to the studio for restorative movement and breathwork before gathering around the table for a shared meal. Expect warming food, meaningful conversations, a cosy movie night and time spent connecting with an amazing group of people.
Who’s it for?
  • This retreat is for anyone craving a little breathing room before the Christmas festivities begin. Perhaps the year has felt full, life has been moving quickly or you simply want to treat yourself to a weekend away. This is your chance to step out of the fast lane and enjoy a carefully curated balance of movement, fresh air, nourishing food, meaningful connection and time beside the fire.
  • Come alone, bring a friend or escape with your partner. All movement practices will be accessible to different levels of experience. More than anything, this is a weekend for anyone ready to switch off, reconnect and return home feeling restored.
“Smile, breathe and go slowly.”
