SUMMARY:Spring Reading Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join us this spring for our first reading retreat in the gorgeous setting of Vallis Farm in Somerset. \nThis isn’t a traditional retreat full of activities\, but rather a morning simply spent with other book lovers reading together. Slow down\, take a moment with a book you love and enjoy a morning with other people who can’t imagine a better way to spend a couple of hours. \nWhether you come on your own or with a friend\, you’ll leave with a sense of relaxation that can only come from a few hours offline\, outside and with others who are similarly losing themselves in imaginary worlds. \nThis reading retreat offers: \n– A digital detox (your phone stays in your pocket or bag) \n– A chance to read uninterrupted\, in a cosy setting \n– A way to be with others\, to get out of the house and take a break from work \n– A moment to rest if you’re feeling burnt out\, stressed or overwhelmed \nWhat to bring: \n– A book (or two) you’d love to read \n– Something to sit on (a cushion\, blanket\, or folding chair) \n– Weather-appropriate clothing (if its rainy we’ll get cosy in the farmhouse\, if the sun is shining\, we’ll spread out across the farm) \nWe’ll take care of the rest — including a few small\, thoughtful touches to make the morning feel quietly magical. \nReading isn’t just one of our favourite ways to spend time. It’s also proven to: \n– Lower stress levels and heart rate \n– Improve attention span and memory \n– Enhance empathy and emotional resilience \n– Offer our brains a deep\, restorative form of rest \nWhen we read in community\, we also experience the benefits of shared presence\, which also supports our mental wellbeing. \nThis event is part of our wider mission at If Lost Start Here to help people better connect\, with themselves\, others and the world around them. \nReady to book your place? Reserve Your Spot Now \nThis event takes place on Vallis Farm’s Community Day. If you’re a member\, you can get access to the sauna and natural swimming pool. 10% discount for members. \nYou can also become a Member and take advantage of these benefits here. \nWe want this to be accessible. If price is a barrier\, get in touch — we’ll always try to make space
