Spirit of the heart
SUMMER RETREAT
with mimi kuo-deemer and jean hall
Mon - FRI, JUNE 23 - 27, 2025
Florence House, East Sussex
“This was my first retreat ever! I’m hooked. We shared an incredible time together and I met some gorgeous human souls who all came with open and enquiring minds. Would definitely recommend this one.” - Luiza Cruz
Mimi and Jean are delighted to host our fourth annual Daoist Flow summer retreat near the beautiful cliffs of England's south coast in East Sussex. Any retreat is an opportunity to go into more depth personally, away from the normal demands and routines of daily life. In this retreat, we'll be offering you space to unwind, reset, and rebalance yourself through restoring practices of meditation, qigong, yoga and somatic movement. Therapies will also be available to book, and you'll have plenty of space for some rest, good times and laughs. We hope you can join!
meals The meals at Florence House will be vegetarian. All their dairy, bread and dry goods are organic and where possible produce from their own organic garden. The chefs are happy to offer special meals for anyone with dietary requirements or allergies; please make sure to let us know if you have any special needs and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
There is unlimited tea, coffee, fresh water, a fruit bowl and biscuits available all day long. accommodationsAll rooms are comfortable and spacious. We have single, twin/double and triple rooms, some ensuite.
