Under the expert guidance of Dr. Anna Wilson, an expert in aging and fragility, guests explored the foundational pillars of health and wellness; movement, nutrition, rest, connection, and purpose, all anchored in the powerful concept of resilience.
Through conversation, laughter, and gentle challenge, the retreat offered not simply information, but inspiration, a graceful reawakening to the strength and beauty within.
This is how the day unfolded.
The morning began with an energising wellness session led by Niki Day Wellness, a mindful blend of strength, breath, and flow designed to awaken vitality and cultivate resilience through motion.
Every stretch and step was an invitation to reconnect with the body, to feel its wisdom, its power, and its potential for renewal.
Throughout the day, guests savoured a nutrient-rich breakfast, seasonal lunch, and afternoon refreshments prepared by Sally Iddles Fabulous Food.
Each dish was a reflection of balance and nutrition — elegant plates that nourished the body and delighted the senses.
Throughout the day Dr. Anna Wilson led an enlightening discussion on the biology of aging, unveiling how small, intentional choices can slow its pace and enhance vitality.
Guests then joined Niki Day for comprehensive physical longevity assessments, offering a tangible understanding of their body’s true biological age, a rare and empowering moment of self-discovery.
As the day unfolded, conversation deepened. Stories were shared, laughter echoed, and new friendships formed, reminding every guest that longevity is not only measured in years, but in the quality of our connections and the joy we cultivate together.
As the retreat came to a gentle close, each guest departed carrying more than knowledge, they carried renewal.
A luxurious Avandra gift bag awaited each woman, thoughtfully curated with magnesium supplements, the latest Surrey Life Magazine, and a selection of wellness treasures designed to extend the retreat’s sense of calm and vitality long after returning home.
At Avandra Escapes, we believe true luxury lies in the art of slowing down, of creating space to breathe, to learn, and to evolve.
The Health and Longevity Retreat was more than a gathering; it was a celebration of resilient living, where science meets serenity and every moment becomes an act of self-honouring.
Every Avandra retreat is an invitation, to pause, to reconnect, and to rediscover the beauty of balance.
From serene single-day immersions in wellbeing to transformative multi-day escapes across the English countryside and beyond, each experience is crafted with intention, elegance, and expertise.
