The Deep Rest Retreat
9th-12th July 2026
A Vedic Rounding Retreat in the English countryside.
Join Hayley for a three-night Deep Rest Retreat in a beautifully restored water mill, tucked away in the English countryside - just a short journey from London.
Leave your responsibilities at the door and enter an experience designed to fully reset your nervous system. Expect delicious nourishment, deep stillness, expansive experiences, and an upwelling of bliss - in the company of other like-minded souls!
During the Retreat, participants will practice an advanced meditation technique known as 'Rounding'- a combination of some gentle yoga positions, pranayama (a Vedic breathing technique) and meditation. Our programme is specially designed to launch us into the deepest, lushest and most restorative meditations we’ll ever experience. In only a handful of days, you’ll shed the equivalent amount of stress from six months’ worth of meditation, which is why we refer to Rounding as ‘industrial strength meditation’. You’ll feel lighter, infinitely clearer, and filled with the kind of creative energy that makes life feel full of magic and possibility.
If you’re brand new to Rounding, you’ll learn everything you need to know on the retreat. This is the ultimate dip of the cloth! Just a few days on a retreat will feel like you’ve just returned from a month-long sabbatical, leaving you refreshed and revitalised for months to come.
Praise for Hayley and Liv’s last Retreat
‘I don’t think I’ve ever felt as great as I did after the retreat.’
‘An absolutely incredible one-of-kind retreat for experienced meditators. It's an intense and rich experience which Hayley hosts with utter charm, wisdom and care. We laughed, we meditated, we ate the most extraordinary food. The week after the retreat I felt buoyant, like I'd surpassed cloud 9 and was somehow living it up on cloud 10. An absolute must for any meditator looking to deepen their practice and give themselves the gift of expanding their life. 10/10.’
‘The Deep Rest Retreat was, without question, one of the most enriching experiences I’ve had since becoming a Vedic meditator. Those lucky enough to have been taught by Hayley will know the radiant vibrancy she brings to everything she touches, and this retreat was no exception. It was, in many ways, a reflection of her grace, intellect, and luminous presence. And while the days at the retreat were undeniably beautiful, it was the days that followed that truly surprised me. I was floating into a deeper sense of presence. I felt anchored, attuned, and tender to even the subtlest gestures of life around me.’
‘This was one of the best retreats I’ve attended. For me, it was perfect in every way - instruction, food, people, location. A special thank you to Hayley for adjusting my program to suit my needs and supporting me along the way before, during and after the retreat. When Hayley checks up on you, she comes across as a knowledgeable friend and supporter, which makes you want to open up and receive her knowledge. This is a very unique quality I have only seen in more senior initiators. Hayley should continue doing what she is doing because it works great.’
‘Liv's food is, in short, utterly delicious. It's hard to express how important the meals were to the overall beauty and sense of communion that I experienced at this retreat. Every meal was surprising, delightful, nourishing, colourful. All of us were ooh-ing and ahh-ing at each dish.’
‘Attending this retreat was not only beautiful at the time - nourishing, restful, joyful - but long-lasting: I have taken all of those feelings back with me into everyday life. Every detail of the retreat was lovingly cared for; from the stunning location, to the out-of-this-world food, to the way in which Hayley held us both collectively and individually.’
