A 3 day, women-only, “remote working” retreat focused on wellness and empowerment for anyone who wants to take their personal lives and career to the next level.
Why a wellness workation?
Want to finish a project you have put off? Need distance from distractions at home or the office to work effectively? Need time and expertise to ignite that idea you have sat on for years? Want to change careers but don’t know where to start? Had a career break and want to kickstart your next stage of life? Killing it in your job and ready to take it to the next level? Want to be looked after, cooked for and nurtured into a healthy state of mind that is effective and sustainable?
Designed with intention, the Henge Estate Wellness Workation Retreat provides an impactful space for women to work, relax and grow, personally and professionally. In a stunning and tranquil setting, an acclaimed executive coach and wellness experts will guide you through a programme that is easily applied to your real life. With around 8 hours allocated to remote working each day, you don’t need to take time off and use precious holidays or weekends (unless you would prefer relax over 3-4 days off!) This intimate retreat will also introduce you to a community of like minded women, who can offer an unexpected amount of support and inspiration.

What is a workation?
A workation means to work remotely, away from your usual place of work, while incorporating elements of leisure that let you unwind, relax and be more productive. Our mid-week retreat in luxury accommodation allocates around 8 hours each day, to remote working, without distractions from the office, or home and family life.
The programme is designed as an “ideal” working day to inspire good habits that are transferable and achievable in the real world. There will be physical exercise in the morning, regular breaks, spa treatments, a mediative practice to relax before bed, and an overnight digital detox (for the brave). Perform at your best with a delicious, nutritionally balanced, sustainably-minded, plant-based menu that supports women’s wellbeing, hormonal health, sleep and digestion.
Guests will have access to the facilities at Henge Estate including a games room with a snooker / pool table, board and card games, books when indoors. The expansive grounds include a tennis court, walled garden, woods walk, and games lawn with equipment for football, cricket, croquet, Giant Jenga and mini golf.

Yoga & Breathwork teacher
Sarah Marten has been teaching yoga classes in Vinyasa Flow, Restorative and Yin Yang Practice for 10 years at Studio Britford. She has trained with various teachers including Anna Forrest and Shiva Rea and has 200-hour and 500-hour Quantum Yoga Alliance Certification. The focus of her practice is to show students how to become more embodied; the asanas help drop us into ourselves, stilling the mind and bringing both our mental and physical state into balance. This way the body opens and moves more readily. Sarah is also a Breathworker and Sound Therapist. Sarah’s Vinyasa Flow yoga has an emphasis on alignment and core stability. Her restorative classes are combined with sound therapy and are a unique opportunity to de-stress and regain both mental and physical harmony and balance.

Pilates Instructor
Sara has used her infectious humour and fun attitude to teach exercise for 35 years. A small disc bulge after the birth of her second child led Sara to reconsider her approach as a personal trainer which was a “keep going” and “push harder” mentality. After lots of research, Sara selected a high-quality course and studied for four years to become a comprehensively trained Pilates Foundation teacher. Now, 22 years on she is so glad she made the change. Sara loves running Fitness Design Ltd, her machine and mat Pilates studio in Salisbury, and guest training at special events and retreats.
