A few words from our customers
"My sister and I joined one of BalanceTime's day for you retreats with aromatherapy and meditation and I loved the blend of mindfulness and practical aromatherapy. Both elements of the day really helped us both to unwind and learn loads of little ways to keep calm in the middle of life's stresses. Thanks to Judy and her team."
"I have been on some of Judy's evening classes and courses and was expecting the day to be good, but wow - I did not expect to feel like I have had such a true break, while also learning loads I can apply to day-to-day life. Can't wait for the next one."
"I joined BalanceTime's yoga and meditation day and I loved taking a Friday off just for me - so I could be refreshed and revived for my weekend with others."

Venture into your inner world of fire and magic through guided meditation and connection.
Path Hill Outdoor Centre
Our meditation magic evenings and retreats run from the rustic setting of Path Hill Outdoor Centre and over 50% of the ticket costs goes to the work of the centre in supporting vulnerable children and schools.
The centre is mainly outside in woodland with yurts and shelters in case of rain and cold weather. We have camp fires and composting toilets.
For our overnight retreats in the Summer, if you want to stay over, there is only rustic camping. You can bring your own or arrange for a pre-assembled bell tent. There are no showers (although hot water is available for washing) so it is indeed a wild and natural adventure. We have partnerships with local hotels and B&Bs if you want to stay nearby in a little more comfort - just ask!
