FAQs – The Art of Being Day Retreat

Do I need to be good at art or yoga to come?
Absolutely not. This retreat is designed for all levels — whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or stepped on a yoga mat before. The focus is on connection, expression, and restoration, not perfection.

What should I bring?
Just wear comfortable clothing suitable for walking, yoga, and painting — layers are ideal for the Cornish coast. Please also bring a notebook or journal for the beach session, a water bottle, and swimwear if you fancy a post-retreat sea dip or spa session.

Can I stay at the hotel?
Yes! Retreat guests are welcome to book to stay at the hotel - please note a 2 night minimum stay is required. Booking can be made directly with the hotel.

Where do we meet?
We’ll meet at 9.45am at the hotel reception. The full address and directions will be provided in your welcome email the week of the retreat.

Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many guests attend solo and this retreat has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, inclusive, and connection-focused. You’ll leave feeling creatively and emotionally nourished — and possibly with a few new friends too.

What does the spa use included?

This is only for use in the main spa, after 5pm. This does not include use of the sensory garden experience. This also does not include any treatments, however should you wish to book either the sensory garden or a treatment please do so! That can be booked directly between yourself and the hotel at additional costs to you.
