I stayed at The Barn for a 6-night meditation retreat, and had one of the most special weeks in my life. The Barn is in a beautiful setting - on a hillside overlooking a bend in the River Dart - and perfect for getting away from stress and into nature. The daily timetable included 3 meditation sessions and a good range of other activities - from gardening to cooking to personal time - so there is much more to it than just the meditation. Best of all were the people - the course coordinators and the other ten people on retreat at the same time as me. Although we were a very diverse group, by the end of the week it really felt like we were a loving community, and we made friendships which will last our whole lives.

This is a truly special place. Being a cynical, yet anxious, city slicker I didn't know quite what to expect and had my doubts. The journey can be tough at times, you don't often spend this much time reflecting and introspecting about oneself and inevitably friction will arise from that. But it is so rewarding, reconnecting with yourself, nature and your follow Barn-mates is incredibly fulfilling and you feel warmth from the group as they go through their journeys too. You don't need to be pampered and luxurious surroundings to relax and reconnect with yourself, you need a diverse group of people to get perspective and you need to be within and interacting with nature, thats it!

The Barn is a lovely, cosy place with stunning views. Both co-ordinations (Charlie & Martha) were lovely, warm people who could not have been more welcoming and open-hearted. They nurtured a very open and reassuring atmosphere which led to some very positive and moving sharing of life experiences among us as participants. I found the highly structured days extremely useful in providing a safe and encouraging atmosphere in which to mindfully reflect and to share our life experiences with each other. The three teachers were all very different (which made these sessions stimulating) and all had wise advice and interesting reflections to share. They were all very open to the wide range of questions we asked them. I would highly recommend the Barn to anyone and I am confident that people from all walks of life and levels of experience would receive a warm welcome of the kind we were so privileged to have experienced.

Such a beautiful experience. The barn and it’s surroundings are magical, it feels as though the hills have been designed specifically to hold the barn and it’s inhabitants. The coordinators are lovely, and take lead when needed but most of the time just feel part of the group. Probably the best thing I have ever done for myself and I would recommend to anyone. Be open minded, be aware that you will leave a little bit different to how you arrived (in a beautiful way), and that the reasons you think you are going will probably not turn out to be the reasons you needed to be there. I learnt so much, thank you.
