“Avalon is a beautifully-appointed oasis of peace, healing, and joyful regeneration of heart, mind, soul and body. It is a beacon of hope for a world in transformation.”

The Hoffman Process at Broughton Hall

The Hoffman Process is a week-long residential personal development retreat, and Avalon has hosted the retreat three times to date. Hoffman involves intensive, transformational work experienced in a small group setting. Participants are taught practical tools and techniques to help them challenge learned behavioural patterns that are preventing them from feeling fully alive. People leave the Process with a deep experience of their own resilience, a greater sense of life’s possibilities, and ready to embrace change.

We love coming to Avalon to run our workshops and week-long retreats. It’s vital when you are doing inner work that the external surroundings support you. Avalon is unique, peaceful, spiritually uplifting and supportive. So much loving care and attention has gone into the design and atmosphere it feels healing just to enter the door.

Yoga and Meditation Retreat with Emma Slade

Emma visited Avalon in October 2019, to share with us the practices and teachings from the wisdom traditions of Mindfulness and Yoga with an emphasis on compassion, wisdom and life purpose. Emma has a very accessible, engaging and often humorous way of teaching. Emma has taught yoga for 18 years and is a British Wheel of Yoga teacher and Foundation Course tutor. Her yoga journey led to the decision to formally become a Buddhist in 2003 and, in 2012, to live under vows as a Buddhist nun.

“Our time at Avalon was sensorially stunning and deeply soulful. Its sublime visual harmony and state-of-the-art wellbeing facilities gave us a haven to revitalise our mind, body and soul."

The Mayan Elders Experience, Wisdom Keepers

The Mayan Elders are spiritual leaders that carry ancient wisdom, past down for thousands of years, on how this universe really works, so that you can live a better life with less agitation, more love and deep faith within yourself. The Elders visited Broughton Sanctuary in September 2019, a wonderful once in a life time opportunity to discover and uncover great levels of our human potential. We were left empowered, aligned to the spirit and deeply energised.
