I've been on 2 retreats now and they are the most relaxing and refreshing days. Adrienne and Lucy are amazing hosts and make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed at all times. The food is fantastic and locations are ideal. Nice and calm and peaceful. Looking forward to being able to join the next one!

I loved my retreat! The mix of things across the day was really enjoyable. Lucy's yoga teaching is lovely and so relaxing, Adrienne is really fun and such a warm personality to host. The arm knitting workshop was really fun and mindful. I loved the thoughtful little extras in the bag and snacks and drinks for the day.

This Elva retreat was the perfect investment. I had a thoroughly lovely time and it was the perfect opportunity to rest and reset. The activities gave me a chance to focus and relax in a quiet, friendly environment. The yoga was great for a complete beginner like me and the group was very encouraging. I felt nourished body and soul after my retreat and can't wait to book my next one.

I just wanted to say how relaxing and mindful the retreat was this morning. Thank you. Great company, and completely stress free. The painting was fun, joyful, and I was so pleased to be there.

ELVA – our name and our values

The name elva carries roots in both Norse and Irish traditions. In Old Norse, it echoes names linked to mythical, nature-connected beings, while in Irish it means “bright.” Together, these origins reflect a sense of magic, light and connection to the natural world – perfectly aligned with our values of mindfulness, renewal and gentle restoration.

At ELVA Retreats, we hold these qualities at the heart of everything we create.

Now Open for Booking

We are thrilled to announce that our next two mini morning retreats are now available to book. These sessions have proved very popular in the past with places booking up quickly.

Ease into the season with our intimate morning retreats, designed to nourish your body, mind and creativity. Each session includes gentle yoga, a soothing sound bath and a hands-on creative workshop where you’ll make something to take home – a little reminder of your time with us.

Upcoming Dates:

  • Late Autumn Morning Retreat – 5 November

  • Winter Morning Retreat – 10 December
