A two night Retreat & Festival

"The word Retrieve means to bring back what may have been lost. This gathering is a sacred invitation to return to yourself - recoup, to relax, and to reawaken the parts of your soul waiting to be remembered"

THE OLD MONASTERY STROUD ✨

Held within the serene embrace of a 60-acre monastery, where nuns once lived, prayed, and created, you’ll sleep in the simple rooms once filled with devotion, and meditate in the chapel graced by hand-crafted stained glass.


Here, spirit flows freely – through mantra, movement, breathwork, and the radiant energy of Shakti. Together we weave a celebration of self, community, and the beauty of being grounded. It is a homecoming to the love of who we truly are, and an honouring of life itself. 


🌿 Over two nights you'll share

  • Soulful workshops and guided practices,
  • Morning, afternoon and evening movement.
  • Mantra, and breathwork, sharing and honouring
  • Celebration, spirit, and connection.
  • Free time, exploring nature and creativity.
  • Delicious home-cooked meals made with love
  • Rustic yet comfortable accommodation in the monastery grounds.

🌿 The space

"The Monastery values simplicity, peace, hope and healing for those seeking pilgrimage and contemplation in a beautiful and unique environment"
Just like everything that we stand for at AUM this isn’t about five-star ratings or glitz and glam; it’s about offering a space where you can unplug, reconnect, and immerse yourself fully in the experience. We invite you to arrive prepared — bringing your own toiletries, towels, and sheets — and to leave no trace behind. It’s a chance to soak up the monastery’s high frequencies, nurture your body and mind, and walk away lighter, more connected, and deeply inspired.

🌿 Fuelling the soul

During your stay, we will provide delicious home cooked, vegan and gluten free nourishing meals. Dinner on Friday and Saturday night, breakfast and lunch on both Saturday and Sunday as well as morning and afternoon tea and refreshments throughout the weekend.
