The people behind Be Free
Be Free began with a simple frustration: the retreats we wanted to go on didn't exist. Either enormous and impersonal, or so earnest you needed a holiday afterwards. So we made the one we'd book ourselves.
Our approach
Twenty guests, never more. Small enough that we know everyone's name by the first evening, and that the group becomes part of the experience.
Every guest has a private video consultation with Laura. It's how a facial becomes your facial, and why nobody has to explain themselves at check-in.
No programme to complete, no wellness homework. Do the sunrise stretch or sleep through it. The only rule is that you leave rested.
Your hosts
Laura hosts every retreat and runs the consultations. She is the person who remembers you don't like lavender and quietly makes sure your room smells of something else.
Kate looks after the rhythm of the days, the classes and the small details that make the house feel like a home rather than a venue.
The house
A luxury barn conversion in the south Somerset countryside near Crewkerne, with an indoor pool, sauna, individually styled en-suite bedrooms and views that do most of the work for us. We take the whole house, so for three days it is only ours.
Our next retreat is 8 March 2027. Twenty places, and every previous retreat has sold out.
