The country mansion has been renovated and features many themed rooms, such as the moon room, mushroom room, and mystic room.
Church explained the motivation behind this project by saying: “I am such an eco-warrior, I’m sure a nature person, that’s sort of what I’m really motivated to do anyway.”
She said that the effects of the pandemic on people and the growing pressures placed on them drove her to create a space where they can unwind and escape from their hectic lives.
“In part, it’s about connection to nature,”She said.
“In our busy lives we don’t have time, people are so distracted by everything, our nervous systems are getting burnt out, our mental health isn’t coping very well.”
Church also mentioned that the retreat will be “gentle and self-guided,” meaning guests “can access it at any level”.
