evolving conscious relationships

We are in relationship to everything - ourselves - out. And most people understand little about these unseen energetics they blindly stumble along.

A Consciousness Development + Relationship offering, like no other.

We take only 8 guests at any one time for individual work as there is no one-size fits all.

NEW DATES FOR 2019
2019: May Thursday 30th - 6th June
2019: September Thursday 12th - 19th

£5500 inclusive of your individual programme, all activities, inward/outward car transfers, all food, etc.

we welcome curious inner world travellers

anyone who has an open mind, a desire for richer deeper heart connections and appreciates beauty. We see the world through a wide lens, open palms, open hearts. We are a rich circle of cosmic connections, we never advertise, we meet through friends of friends or through fate on intergalactic highways and a blaze of starlight trails.

An abundance of heart, beauty and luxury

Just like the initiation rituals of our ancestors, we conjure people to a place where they can incubate deep change. Some come to disconnect from the busy outer world. Some need to heal. Some to reconnect. Some to revitalise. Some to understand themselves more. Each person’s journey is unique, with no set ‘course’ or ‘regime’ to fit into.

An unfolding
experience

We drop out of the everyday, become more atuned to the rhythm of nature and to the mystery of each unfolding moment. We commune with wilder parts of ourselves that we may have lost along the way. We learn intuitive horse skills + ride out connecting to the beauty
+ intelligence of our horses and which teaches
us to reach our own.

The space in between
is where the magic is

It's a spiralling, unfolding journey where an insight you gain in one session relates to an experience you have in another, or a dream you had, or a sign from nature. It is like a living dream, where the songlines are humming and you are receptive to the healing magic of intuition.

Release deeply and stretch your horizons

As the Zen masters would say, anyone can climb a flagpole, but how to learn to leap off? The Big Pause is designed to help people feel safe to make the leap. From the generosity and warmth of the rooms and guest experience. To the moments of stillness and contact with nature. To the support and healing brought by the whole team.

Be in a space of
magical possibility

The house and its grounds are historical, romantic, with sweet surprises around every corner. This being a private estate has the benefit of guests being able to feel fully at home, cared for and secluded. Like a midsummer night’s dream, the experience is slow, magical and entrancing. We also organise special events, sacred wedding ceremonies and private long weekend gatherings. Please contact us for this.

Magical, mystical
fabulousness

Past guests have described The Big Pause as offering a turning point in life, resolving in a week something they sometimes had hard-wired + struggled with for decades, creating a seismic shift in their thinking, being and relating, as if living life now from a higher and softer ground of awareness.

Testimonials

'Jane Kersel's sessions are in “shadow work”, a Jungian style hypnotherapy designed to elicit subconscious change. James Philip, offers spiritual channelling and energetic healing. Both these approaches may prove the most challenging, conceptually, for the sceptic, but both wrought the most dramatic change on every member of our group.- The Telegraph

“A happiness guru - Jane’s yoga is therapy in itself. She can overcome a racing brain in one meditative session” - Tatler

“Seven days later, my ‘better self’ touched down at home, calmer and happier. The office barely recognised me of old, expressing their full, unequivocal support of my returning asap - I’ve already booked!” - Tatler

“Jane is not only an exceptional yoga teacher but an inspirational guide towards positivity.” - Vogue

some of our Testimonials

"I've learnt from the week that when I communicate from my heart I'm so much softer and kinder with myself and my relationship with men has really blossomed - I'm no longer defending and protecting."

"Feels truly wonderful...incredibly liberating to be honest with myself...it's truly amazing when you dig deep into patterns and then begin to notice how they keep repeating until you become cognisant of them and then lean how to shift them"

"I had such a special and wonderful time in September...I feel the benefits so much...please can I come again in May?"

"it was incredible! beyond what i dissolved in myself, the journey was second to none...everything en pointe..it all seems so dream-like, almost surreal but I know I gained so much from it and will continue feeling that"

"Thank you for making me a better human being"
