The Queenager Wasing Retreat – October
October 6 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm
Our sellout event is back for autumn! Experience the enchantment of the Queenager Wasing Retreat in October, a day-long experience in a captivating Berkshire estate where we renew and experience the joys of nature together while connecting and navigating midlife. The Queenager Wasing Retreat takes place at the captivating and historic Wasing Estate, a cherished family-owned property. The Dugdale family have resided here for 7 generations, and Di, the current chatelaine, graciously welcomes Noon to explore the estate to our heart’s content.

What to expect
The day commences at the charming Wasing Pavilion, where we indulge in tea and engage in meaningful conversations. Then we embark on a serene journey with a gentle breathwork and yoga session led by the talented Lesley Thomas, setting the tone and energy for the day. Next, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the ancient woodland, leading us to the tranquil lake and sauna area. The Wasing retreat in October is a gorgeous time to immerse yourself in the pristine pure waters surrounded by autumnal colours – and experience the bliss of alternating between dips in the wood-fired sauna perched on the lake’s edge.
New to cold-water swimming?
Fret not! Our attentive staff will provide excellent care and supervision. We’ve coaxed the most reluctant and cold-averse in and now they are converts! Additionally, you can luxuriate in the wood-cabin sauna, enjoying the warmth while engaging in friendly conversations with newfound companions, all while admiring the majestic red kites soaring above the forest canopy. Afterward, we’ll gather around an open fire for a delicious and healthy lunch bowl. With vegetarian and vegan options available, you can savour the flavours and indulge in hot cacao and tea, nurturing your body and spirit. Once satiated, we’ll venture to our forest yurt for a transformative Noon sharing circle, facilitated by Eleanor Mills, the esteemed Founder of Noon. Together, we’ll delve into the discussions on embracing new chapters in midlife and becoming the women we’ve always aspired to be. This sacred space fosters support and compassion, where stories are shared and hearts are heard.
What to bring
Wear loose comfortable gear for yoga and stretching. Bring Wellington boots or walking boots – it can be muddy – and a warm coat, layers of jumpers and a woolly hat. You’ll need a swimming costume and a towel, too. There’s a maximum of 20 Queenagers on a first-come first-served basis. Our popular Wasing Retreats sell out every time so act fast! Can’t wait to see you there! Eleanor x
