The Retreat Venue

We visited several venues before choosing Tofte Manor. When we arrived, we were immediately struck by the healing energy of the place. The magic of Tofte resonates throughout the entire estate, in particular, its labyrinth and grounds.

Tofte Manor. An old stone mansion with multiple chimneys, large windows, and a well-maintained garden with lush green bushes, trees, and flowering plants.

Tofte Manor

The manor itself is beautiful, filled with rich and warm interiors, crystals, antiques and cosy corners. You can relax in the drawing room, the snug and the library, as well as an abundance of spaces outside. It is intimate and yet spacious, catering for connection and reflection.

There is an abundance of space for you to relax, integrate and process. Cosy up in a corner and read a book, meditate in a hammock, relax in the pool or play a game of tennis. This wonderful environment is integral in helping to digest the healing process.

Labyrinth. A landscaped garden with curved lawn borders and a traditional stone labyrinth pathway. There are trees, a bench, a small bush, and a stone monument or sculpture in the background with lush greenery and trees.

The Labyrinths

Walking the labyrinth quiets the mind, opens the heart and grounds the body. Our labyrinth walks will be curated by the divine Maggie Rose , our wonderful shamanic practitioner.

The Tofte Manor Star Labyrinth and Earth Labyrinth act as a source of inspiration and can be used as tools to explore our own inner journey. Research has shown that walking a labyrinth creates balance in the body and mind by balancing the two hemispheres of the brain.

Incorporated into the labyrinth designs are all the elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Wood and Water. Water plays an important role at Tofte Manor; drinking pure vital, energetic water is essential to our health. Every drop of water that comes into the property has been energetically charged.

The Tofte Star Labyrinth copies the design of the ancient 11 circuit pattern of the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral in France, but with a unique twist. Water runs through it, under the labyrinth pathway, and can be drunk. This water was tested and photographed by Dr Masaru Emoto’s laboratories.

Tofte Manor. Interior of a yurt with curved wooden support beams and a circular skylight overhead.

The Yurt

The beautiful Yurt is set on a quiet spot within the grounds. This is a circular space, 33 feet in diameter and is kept beautifully warm with FAR infrared heating that helps the body to detox and build the immune system. The space will be used for TRE classes and other workshops. A space waiting for magic to happen…

The Fire Pit

The Tofte fire pit sits in a quiet open space under open skies and next to the ancient oak tree. It is built in the shape of the ancient symbol of the ouroboros, the snake eating its’ own tail representing death and re-birth. In the centre under the fireplace lies the yin/yang symbol making this a special space for working with the cleansing element of Fire.
