Unplugged in the Mountains
Unplugged in the Mountains: A Women's Rest Retreat
by Llanberis Retreats
There’s something quietly powerful about what happens here in Llanberis. It’s intimate—like a home from home—with shared meals, laughter, and fireside chats, yet held within vast mountain landscapes that offer solitude when needed. Our recent Unplugged Mountain Rest Retreat was just that: a gentle invitation to slow down, reconnect, and return to the heart.
Beautiful wild swimming spots away from the crowds of the Llyn Padarn paved way for cold water therapy.
Set over a long, sun-soaked weekend, our time together flowed between yoga, sound healing, wild sauna and cold water therapy, nourishing food, and deep rest. The group, many of whom came solo, brought such warmth and openness. It was a weekend of sharing and support, with space for stillness and time alone too.
Plenty of time for group or solo walks.
We explored what it means to unplug—not just from devices, but from external noise and expectations. Our new Unplugged Field Guide offered a friendly companion to this journey, helping guests ease into spaciousness and presence. Anja’s Thai yoga and Indian head massage added a beautiful layer of care, while a sound healing session with Angharad encouraged a deeper state of rest and healing.
Yoga, sound healing and massages in the studio: experiences to be cherished.
As one guest, Deborah, shared:
“Helen creates an arcing journey of yoga exploration... integrity, sincerity, and always an invitation to smile. Practising yoga to blackcap birdsong? Truly heavenly…Dave doesn't just cater the retreat, he there's to help in any way needed, nothing is too much trouble. Our menu was seasonal, wholesome, delicious and memorable.”
Seasonal food from breakfast through to dinner.
