Working within the corporate world of London can be both exhilarating and exhausting. The constant bustle of the capital means that everyone needs a break to recharge every now and then, and so a retreat out with the city – yet still within easy reach for all its conveniences – is the ideal solution.

Some retreats could be team building and others could be deeper transformational like shadow work uk.
