In community we gather to harvest our year’s riches, sort our wheat from the chaff, and prepare our ground for the new seasons ahead

Your Invitation

Join us for our next retreat for coaches, coaching supervisors, leaders and people professionals!

Our Weekend Retreat is an invitation for you to focus on the YOU who can get lost in the busyness of life and work. The Retreat has been designed as a special time and space for YOU to reflect, refresh and refocus with like-minded professionals. A time and a space for YOU to relax, ponder and wonder against the backdrop of the Autumn Equinox and luxury of Tofte Manor in service of the work you love to do and for the person you want to be. This is YOUR time to gather your own harvest, to sort the wheat from the chaff, to nourish, resource and cultivate your ground, and to reimagine new possibilities and horizons for the months ahead.

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action”.

Meister Eckhart

Here is what past participants said

 “Please allow me to recommend this lovely retreat. Karyn and Elaine are masters of creation – in orchestrating a profound and magical setting and process.  I came in need of refreshing and depart sated in body and soul. Allow yourself this retreat. Your heart will thank you. And I thank Karyn and Elaine and Tofte Manor.

Adrienne McDunn,  USA

 “The retreat was an absolute joy to be part of.  It was skillfully planned and expertly facilitated in a way that seemed effortless (but I am sure it wasn’t!).  There was plenty to do or not do as you so wished.  The group, the individuals and the energy were allowed to naturally flow.  The venue was superb.  I felt hugely rejuvenated and think that I achieved very significant personal results in a short space of time: changes that are lasting.  I would attend again. Go in with an open mind and heart, be ready to deeply relax and yet challenge yourself, wake up the right brain and BREATHE”

Viv Chitty, Director of Viv Chitty Associates, Executive Coach and Coach Supervisor.

 “The Autumn retreat at Tofte Manor was a rare-treat. The spirit of it echoed harmoniously with the magic of the place and created a wonderful space in which to attend to our bodies, minds and souls and harvest.”

“L’esprit de cette retraite automnale a trouvé un écho harmonieux dans la magie de Tofte Manor et a créé un précieux espace de récolte saisonnière pour nos corps, esprits et âmes.”

Edith Coron. Paris- Beijing, Global Leadership Coach (PCC-ICF) and Coach Supervisor

 “The elegant manor, steeped in time, nourished and settled me. The fields, gardens, tree elders, and sculptures called to me. The labyrinth unburdened and lifted me. I played and shared with the other participants, speaking less of work and more of life. And over it all Elaine, Karyn and Jo directed the retreat with skill and permeated my experience with love”.

Elizabeth Fowler MD LLC, Spiritual Direction and Leadership & Life Coaching

 “I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough.  An expertly designed and facilitated retreat which created ease and space for each individual, sumptuous accommodation, refreshing and energizing food and overall nourishment for the soul.  I felt welcomed, supported, listened to and encouraged throughout the weekend.  I left feeling surprised and delighted by the whole experience.  The best investment I have made in myself in a long time”

Gail Lineham, Aspire People Development
