Retreats are offered to those seeking rest, renewal, healing and/or spiritual immersion. They are generally 1-1 retreats, designed and created individually for every retreatant: shared meditation, healing, deep listening, meditation tuition, spiritual guidance and support are all available if requested.
Retreats take place in an idyllic village in rural Dorset, close to the historic market town of Sherborne. The venue is peaceful and quiet, off the beaten track, but within easy walking distance of the village and only a mile from Sherborne. Spacious and private, the home is cosy and comfortable - a little rustic in places! There are extensive gardens, fields and stables here and the vegetable garden, orchard and greenhouse provide plenty of fresh food in the summer. There are plenty of lovely walks and many beauty spots to visit if you want to go further afield: the Jurassic coast, Glastonbury, Stonehenge and Hardy’s Dorset are all within an hour’s drive.
Prices for individual retreats vary depending on what is wanted and, to some degree, on personal means: those who can offer more will be supporting those who can afford less. Please enquire if you would like to discuss this.
"My retreat with Anna was a revelation. I went over from France for a week without any expectations, completely open-minded. I asked Anna if she could guide me in meditation, having never meditated before, She kindly led me step by step and by the end of the week, I felt at peace with myself. I also learned to be much more aware of what is around me: Gratitude is a wonderful feeling - it reminds me of humility and helps me appreciate what I have in order to move forward."

"The farm and gardens were peaceful and Anna a cheerful, gracious hostess who provided lovely food (including a ready supply of healthy brownies!). She created a programme of teaching and meditation which took me inwards and gave me a new way of experiencing the world. A very positive experience"
- David Hughes, Oxford, UK
This is beautiful work. Anna’s teaching is eloquent and her devotion to White Tara comes through in such a way that you cannot help but be inspired – and uplifted.
Deborah, Oxfordshire
Thank you for the amazing healing session. The combination of Dean’s crystal bowls and Anna’s White Tara Healing was incredibly powerful and I experienced quite a profound healing shift. A really big thank you to you both.

I work in conventional medicine as a GP and knew nothing about White Tara. Today’s teaching, guided visualisations and Soundbath opened my mind to new approaches to health and healing and I am very grateful.
Trisha, Somerset
White Tara Healing has given me a confidence I’ve never had before.
Lorna, Dundee
Thank you both so much for the amazing session this morning. I had no preconceived ideas as to what would happen – and yet was bowled over by how profound and transformational it was.
ML, Dorset
My wife suggested I come to one of Anna’s teaching days; I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It was informative and relaxing – Tara may be a female Buddha, but I experienced her essence as beyond male or female.
