Replenish your energy and zest for life

This curated experience is a life-enriching weekend of re-connection, and re-invigoration designed to bring you back to your true technicolour shine.

It’s a weekend dedicated to donning that much-needed oxygen mask so you can relax and enjoy some time out from your busy life.

The Practical Magic Weekend Retreat is the ultimate reset button for you to come home to yourself, so you can remember who you are and reawaken your sparkle with vitality and creativity.

Get back to being you

Through Practical Magic—a blended melting pot of creativity and well-being self-care mastery—you will enjoy a mixtape worthy variety of good stuff throughout the weekend, including soul-enriching meditation, forest bathing, wood-fired sauna & hot tub in the wildflower meadow and a shake up of your wise, wild and free self with Qoya.

Be serenaded by nature and nourished with deep healing relaxation & treatments, self-care rituals and lovingly prepared soul food.

We will also make the most of being amongst the beautiful gem, which is the Isle of Wight by going out for a wild swim at a local beach and exploring some local walking spots.

Throughout the weekend, one of the biggest gifts is the meaningful conversation and deep connection from the collective gathering of like-minded souls who bring depth, wisdom, support and deep belly laughs.

Where you will relax and restore

This is one of the most unique places you can get for a weekend of soul-full living. Located on the outskirts of an ancient forest on the beautiful Isle of Wight, your accommodation is a stay in an award-winning Tiny Home. 

These quirky eco-friendly homes may be tiny, but they feel anything but, they’ve been designed with space and comfort in mind. Think cozy nooks, wood burners, lush interiors, outside decks and plenty of crisp white linen and towels.

  • Choosing to go to the Practical Magic Retreat was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. It was wonderful - the space, the people, the rituals, the food, everything was just amazing. I left with a full heart, a deeper understanding of myself and such a sense of calm and clarity.

Tiny Homes on the Isle of Wight is the perfect location for a weekend retreat. The little self-contained eco homes provide cosy accommodation, while the studio space is light and airy, and nutritious, wholesome food, always prepared with immense love, supports the work of the retreat.
