Cold Water Immersion

Cold water immersion in secret swim spots along the North Devon Coast will take your breath away (in the best possible way). Nature is at the heart of the Sust! experience so if you are a lover of rivers and the sea, and you are open-minded about trying cold water immersion, then this weekend provides a brilliant opportunity for beginners and seasoned cold dippers alike, to reap the many benefits of this practice in a supportive and safe environment. Be warned….you might become addicted!!

Fitness and Yoga

Get ready to BOUNCE into a healthier lifestyle with our invigorating mini-trampoline sessions! The low-impact nature of rebounding reduces stress on joints while providing a high-intensity cardiovascular workout.

Resistance training with mini-bands are an enjoyable and effective way to overload your muscles and prime your metabolism.

Pilates emphasizes core strength, stability, and flexibility, providing a well-rounded and holistic approach to fitness.

Flow Yoga will invigorate the body through music, movement, and breath.

Restorative yoga will gently stretch the body, soothe your mind, and bestow a deep sense of tranquillity and serenity.

Our commitment to simplicity ensures that our classes are accessible to all fitness levels, making it easy for everyone to participate and see positive changes in their bodies.

Hiking

The North Devon Coast is renowned for being an ideal destination for hikers. The unspoiled beauty of Exmoor National Park is exceptional, and the sweeping, picturesque views along the challenging coastal paths are truly awe-inspiring.

April is an INCREDIBLE month to visit Exmoor and we have prepared two remarkable guided hikes for the weekend that are guaranteed to put the SPRING back in your step and revitalise your physical well-being.

There is a shorter and a longer hike option to cater for different fitness levels. Hikes will typically be 3-4 hours long (they are worth it!) and between 4-8 miles long depending on the option you choose.

The vast expanse of Exmoor National Park provides the perfect setting for this powerful retreat.

Nutritious Food

Get ready for an incredible culinary experience featuring nutrient-dense dishes crafted from locally sourced Devon ingredients. The Sust! menu takes pride in offering high-quality protein to help regulate blood sugar levels and support muscle development. Our commitment to providing a nutrient-rich menu produced from UK farms means that seafood, meat, eggs, and dairy are generously incorporated into most of our dishes, alongside plentiful seasonal vegetables exploding in colour and fibre.

At Sust! we seamlessly blend the timeless wisdom of traditional cooking techniques with the contemporary trends of modern healthy cuisine. This is why you will enjoy classic foods like broths and stews, alongside refreshing vegetable juices, vibrant smoothies bursting with nutrients, and guilt-free dessert creations.

In the Sust! kitchen, our dedicated team works tirelessly in preparation for your retreat. They laboriously simmer bone broths, slow-cook hearty stews and soups, dehydrate nuts, seeds, and crackers, and carefully select the finest produce from UK farms, all of which form the core of the SUST! food philosophy.

For those who prefer plant-based options, rest assured that our meals burst with vibrant plant-based ingredients, and our Vegetarian and Vegan menu is just as satisfying and delicious.

Natalie will share her passion for Nutrition through informative talks and practical demonstrations, ensuring that simple, take-home tips and knowledge can be implemented right away at home.

Hormone Talks and Breathwork

Dr Sohere will give daily talks covering the basics of hormone health. We will learn the signs of symptoms of hormone imbalance and how to bring hormones back into balance through diet, lifestyle, supplements and bio identical HRT.

The friendly, supportive environment created by Dr Sohere during the group sessions is conducive to learning, sharing, and asking questions.


Sohere is truly an expert in the field of hormone balance and a passionate advocate of diet and lifestyle strategies to optimise hormone health. 

You will also get opportunity to experience a Breathwork Journey with Dr Sohere. Breathwork is a term for various breathing practices in which the conscious control of breathing is said to influence a persons mental, emotional, or physical state, with a therapeutic effect. Dr Sohere is a huge advocate of this simple practice as a holistic tool to help her clients to reduce stress, and she is delighted to share this powerful technique with you so that you can take it home with you.
