Your Somerset Retreat

Jan 19th, 2022

I spent three wonderful days with Caroline at the retreat, with wonderful weather in a beautiful location I came away from the retreat with a renewed sense of peace and clarity I was looking for. I booked the retreat to help me think about some big life choices, work through some negative thinking and have some 'me' time away from work and the hustle and bustle of city life. Caroline is the most patient, welcoming and caring person and the work we did together helped me find clarity and a new focus for life. A beautiful retreat, gorgeous food and everything I needed for some time out from life! I can't recommend this magical place highly enough, and Caroline who has really helped change my life in so many ways. Thank you!

One of the most attractive aspects about Your Somerset Retreat is of course... well, it's in Somerset. A quintessential English village nested in an ancient landscape provides the backdrop to an experience that is at once welcoming and homely, but also positively challenging and enlightening. Caroline Sharley is your host, mentor, coach, confidante and bringer of clarity. She brings to this immersive experience a warmth and humour that is truly engaging. But once snuggled into the charming retreat cottage it's all about 'you'. I spent three days with Caroline and walked away knowing that something inside me had changed. I knew in the quiet moments during the days that followed my retreat that I'd started on a path of awakening to some really deep seated 'stuff' and had given myself permission to jettison it for the long term. Caroline's methods are focused, creative, sometimes intense but always safe. There is a calmness to her process of interaction that offers up a space that welcomes vulnerability and nurtures bare reflection. And it is effective. Bringing in activities such as walking (with the charming doggies!), meditation, visualisations and even for me, an unforgettable visit to a 'bee speaker' I felt I'd had a well rounded and multifaceted experience that addressed my objectives through varied but complementary practices. From the pre-session discussions and through the retreat, Caroline is fully concentrating on you and from the customised menus to the bathroom candles and bath salts (I kid you not!) it's all about you. The level of personalisation, full attention and care taken to make sure that success is on your terms is something I have never experienced before but I fully and wholeheartedly recommend it. If you only ever do one coaching/self exploration retreat, make it this one.
