What you need to know


Are you searching for a deeper meaning to life? Looking for some time out to get grounded and refocus? 

If you're ready to dive into a journey of self-discovery, we have you covered at the LezBe Mindful Wellness Weekenders. With a programme of carefully curated wellness activities, there are endless opportunities for self-care and relaxation. 

This powerful weekend has connection at its core, be it connection to self, connection to others or connection to nature. Surrounded by like-minded queer souls, you'll be welcomed into a beautiful space of love, growth and inner peace. 

Whatever your intention, the space is yours to flow and grow. Maybe you're coming to release trauma, close a chapter, heal from a relationship, to process your grief, or perhaps you're looking to make friends, feel less isolated or simply just need to get away...the space is yours. 

This year's location in Norfolk is largely undiscovered and provides the ideal escape with multiple spots of rest and reflection, communal areas to cook and bond, lovely nature walks and a stunning lake for our cold water therapy and paddle board enthusiasts. 

Wait, did we mention our wild spa? One of our favourite parts of the wellness weekender is treating you to our mobile sauna and hot tub, all at no extra cost! #lezgetsteamy

Our mini festival is an extension of our luxury gay women's retreats, an intimate, conscious-connected dream come true, where you are certain to make friends and get to know each other at a deeper level, with a capacity of just 32 guests. 

This is a brand new safe space for lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning and non-binary people, we welcome our tribe of happy glampers...

Location: 

Although our focus is on getting back to basics, we are pleased to accommodate you in our range of luxury glamping facilities with cosy furnished Shepherd's Huts, Yurts and Belle Tents equipped with wood burners, fire pits, communal cooking areas and of course, posh loos and showers!  

This is your temporary home-from-home to recover from life's hurdles but also challenge yourself to try new things. Whether you're a seasoned yogi, a master meditator or a brand new Wim Hoff in the making, there will be something for everyone on this timetable, even the Spa Queens! Ultimately, we want you to have fun and enjoy every aspect of this precious weekend together outdoors.

Our site location in Norfolk is just ten minutes away from a train station, trains run direct from London to Norfolk with one change to the local village. Taxis from here will need to be pre-booked - we'll provide details and help with the logistics. The full address and arrival instructions will be received on booking (for the safety and exclusivity of our attendees) but get in touch if you need a little more information to prepare. 

We have implemented a three tier pricing structure for our accommodation to ensure that money is no barrier, choose from our low budget belle tents, medium budget yurts or full luxury huts. Options include single beds, shared double beds and private Shepherd's Huts. You may come alone, with friends or your partner. Please let us know if you're coming in a group so we can host you altogether in your chosen space (dependant on availability). 

*Please note there are no camping pitches available onsite, but we can offer you a range of luxury glamping options to suit all budgets. We will also match you with a group of people to share accommodation if you're travelling solo or allocate groups of existing friends. 

Activities:

A schedule of wellbeing workshops and classes will be running throughout the weekend, catered for all levels and hosted by LBTQ womxn, because we're keen to showcase the talent within our community. Sessions will include: Yoga, Meditation, Sound Therapy, Breathwork, Drawing, Somatics, Embodiment, Firepit Ceremonies, Bushcraft and more. A full timetable will be released in due course and promoted on our social media channels. We'll also allow adequate time to enjoy our beautiful surroundings. 

There's so much to experience at our Wellness Weekenders: we'll be kicking off the event with our welcome circle and introductions, treating you to a portable spa with our mobile sauna, jaccuzzi and combination of hot/cold therapy. The hardcore healers among us may even be tempted by an ice bath. You'll have unlimited access to our private lake, so bring your paddle board/kayak or borrow one onsite. 

Unlike other festivals, all such facilities are included in the ticket price with no added extras! 

No pressure is put on anyone to join the workshops, but we'll certainly encourage making the most of the peace, tranquility and unique facilities. 

Themes: 

Friendly Friday - welcome circle, introductions, games and hot chocolates all round 

Self-Care Saturday - swim & sauna, release your trauma, heal the mind, body & spirit

Soul Sunday - relax, unwind and be present, enjoy magic moments in nature

Food:

We are keen to make this as affordable as possible therefore food will be self-catering with access to bbqs, a pizza oven and a fully kitted communal kitchen/chill out area containing all cooking utensils, plates, cutlery, fridge and so on. Be aware there is no cafe/restaurant onsite. Welcome hampers will be available to purchase in advance and supermarkets are within three miles, please purchase your food on route to the event ready to relax and unwind. 

Car sharing:

Our site is extremely green and has limited parking of 15 spaces, therefore car sharing between friends, old and new is essential. Don't worry because we'll help to organise travel buddies and taxis, make sure you join our what's app group for any logistical convos and pre-event excitement. You must agree a parking spot with us before booking your car, email lezbemindful@outlook.com or reach out to us on social media. 

Accessibility:

Unfortunately due to the nature of the site, this year's venue is not accessible, we do however aim to be fully accessible the near future, so please do look out for future locations. 

Finally: 

We can't wait to sit around the campfire and create some memorable moments with you. There are plenty of surprises in store, this is just the beginning of a happy, healthy, healing and transformational experience among new LBTQ and non-binary friends. 

More updates and announcements on the way soon so stay tuned. And don't forget, LezBe Mindful!
