FAQs – The Elemental 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 swimwear and a towel for the spa session.
Can I stay at Melancoose?
Yes! There is a small cottage on site - please contact Melancoose directly to enquire about availability. Alternatively Seaspace ApartHotel is very close by in Porth.
What does the spa include?
The Melancoose woodland spa includes a wood-fired 10-person sauna, 8-person hot tub, cold plunge, nature shower and a firepit with a sheltered relaxation area. Everything is held within the calm of the woods.
The water for the spa comes from a natural well, and they uphold the highest hygiene standards to ensure a clean, chemical-free environment throughout your visit.
There are two large changing rooms, ground-level toilets and free Parking.
Where do we meet?
We’ll meet at 9.15am at the The Barn at Melancoose. 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.
