The next Pesso Boyden Retreat will take place in spring 2027

Our next Residential Pesso Boyden Retreat will take place at Dove Farm in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, in spring 2027.

Dates

From Friday 9th April (p.m.) to Monday 12th April (lunchtime)

Facilitators

Pesso Boyden groupwork during the retreat will be facilitated by Masha Bennett and Clara Charlesworth.

Fees

The cost of the retreat is £675 in shared room. Some single rooms may be available at a supplement (£40 single bed, £65 king size bed). The fees include: 

* accommodation for 3 nights;

* all meals between Friday evening and Monday lunchtime inclusive (most diets can be catered for; if your diet is extremely specialist please enquire);

* Pesso Boyden groupwork including your own 1 hour Pesso Boyden structure. 

Venue

Dove Farm, Mill Lane off Dove Street, Ellastone, Ashbourne, Derbyshire DE6 2GY

Please note this is a working farm as well as an event venue, and you are likely to encounter animals including donkeys, alpacas, sheep, chickens and two very friendly dogs in the grounds.

If you are planning to travel by public transport, the nearest railway station is Uttoxeter.

Accommodation

Dove Farm provides a number of comfortable bedrooms in three cottages. 

Most of the accommodation are twin rooms, there may be some singles available at a supplement but at this stage we cannot guarantee that you will get a single room.

There may also be an option to bring your own campervan - please get in touch if that is your preference.

BOOKING GUIDELINES, TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. If you have not experienced Pesso Boyden groupwork before, please complete the Initial Assessment Form on this page.  Once we have received this one of us will arrange to speak with you over the phone or online, to ensure that this work is suitable for you, and to give you an opportunity to ask questions. We reserve the right to refuse a place on the retreat if we feel it isn't appropriate for a person to be exploring the depth of this work at this time.

2. If you have previously attended one of our Pesso Boyden workshops and do not have any additional questions or concerns, please complete the booking form at the bottom of this page.

3. Once you have completed the form, instructions for paying the £125 deposit will be emailed to you. The deposit will secure your place and is not refundable or transferable. Places will be allocated on first come, first served basis.

4. The balance of the retreat fee is payable at least two month before the date of the event and after that is not refundable for any reason. This may seem harsh but given the amount of work, time and energy that we have to put into organising, marketing and facilitating these events, short-notice cancellations make our Pesso Boyden offerings unsustainable unless we do charge for them.

5. If needed, the balance can be paid in instalments via a standing order; the full amount needs to be paid two months in advance.

6. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel the retreat your deposit/fee will be refunded in full. Unfortunately we would not be able to compensate you for travel expenses (train tickets etc) incurred in connection with the retreat.
