Retreats with Sarah Aspinall

Space to slow down, reset, and reconnect - individually and collectively

Retreats offer something that day-to-day life rarely allows: time, space, and the right conditions for real change to take root.

Whether working with individuals, leadership teams, or organisations, my retreats are designed to support nervous system regulation, clarity, and reconnection – so people leave feeling steadier, more present, and more resourced for what lies ahead.

The Annual SA Method Retreat

Bruisyard Hall, Bruisyard, Saxmundham, Suffolk, IP17 2EJ

5-7 February 2027

Each year, I host a small, carefully curated retreat at Bruisyard Hall, a beautiful countryside estate in Suffolk.

This retreat is designed for women who spend much of their lives holding things together – professionally, personally, emotionally – and want space not only to rest, but to move, express, and reconnect with others in a way that feels joyful and freeing.

The weekend blends nervous-system-led practices with shared movement and dance, creating a balance of regulation, energy, and genuine enjoyment.

Days To Go

The event has now expired

Across the retreat, you can expect:

uplifting dance classes, including ballet-inspired movement, tap, and joyful group dance
opportunities to move together in rhythm and synchrony – building connection, confidence, and collective energy
supportive fitness, stretch, and relaxation sessions designed to help your body feel good, not pushed
nervous system education and simple practices you can take back into everyday life
nourishing seasonal meals, beautiful surroundings, and unhurried time to rest and reset

This is not a silent retreat, and it’s not about lying still all weekend.

It’s about moving together, laughing, learning, and feeling more like yourself again - while still giving your nervous system the conditions it needs to soften and recalibrate.
Many women leave feeling lighter, steadier, and more energised - with a renewed sense of connection to their bodies and to others.

Book Your Room

Thank you so very much for the retreat weekend! I thoroughly enjoyed it as always & it was lovely meeting so many new ladies…I’m sure they all enjoyed it as much as I did. I can’t believe it went so quickly though, having waited for it for what felt like YEARS! I was just trying to pick out my highlights but actually don’t have any as it was ALL so brilliant!! Each class being so different was a highlight in itself. The food was outstanding as it has been every year…such a treat.

I absolutely loved the retreat! When I saw your retreat on instagram last year I knew that I wanted to come this year. Also, although there was quite a lot going on each day, it felt like the right amount, I didn’t feel rushed (or stressed) to get anywhere and of course there was no pressure to do everything if we didn’t want too. Meeting all of the other women on the retreat. Everyone was so friendly and I think I chatted to nearly everyone. Last but by no means least, thanks to you, Sarah, you were a brilliant host!

It was such a joyous experience from start to finish. I loved the classes - challenging but not intimidating at all and a huge amount of fun. I loved the experience of all moving together to great music but laughing when things weren’t perfect and having another go. The Michael Jackson dance was a particular highlight! The venue was so beautiful and comfortable and the food was delicious. I was slightly nervous about attending the retreat for the first time on my own but I couldn’t have hoped for a more welcoming group of women and it was such a pleasure getting to know everyone over the course of the weekend.

Firstly, thanks so much for a wonderful weekend. You made me feel so very welcome and part of something special. I loved dancing again- it reignited my passion for dance!

Thanks so much for such a lovely time at the weekend. You created such a welcoming friendly atmosphere and I loved the variety of classes - plus of course the lovely food and beautiful surroundings!

Retreat Facilitation for Organisations & Leadership Teams

Alongside my own retreats, I also work with organisations, leadership teams, and founder communities to design and facilitate bespoke retreat experiences.

These retreats are ideal for:

leadership teams navigating change or pressure
organisations seeking deeper connection and clarity than traditional off-sites provide
women in leadership who need space to reset, reflect, and reorient
teams preparing for high-stakes periods, strategy shifts, or renewed direction

My role may include keynote sessions, embodied workshops, facilitated group experiences, or full retreat design – always grounded in nervous system regulation, presence, and collective energy.

The intention is not escape, but reconnection – so people return to work more focused, aligned, and resilient in sustainable ways.

Collaborating on Retreats

I’m also available to contribute to retreats hosted by others, whether as a guest facilitator, speaker, or movement and embodiment guide.

This may suit:

retreat leaders seeking a nervous-system-led, embodied element
wellbeing, leadership, or entrepreneurial retreats
multi-disciplinary retreat programmes looking to deepen integration

If you’re curating a retreat and feel my work would add value, I’m always happy to explore collaboration.
