Camp Joy Retreats | Cotswolds, England
With Marea Kavanagh
June 2 - 7, 2026
A countryside haven that feels pulled from the pages of a fairytale.
We’re thrilled to host our Camp Joy retreat for 5-nights, 6-days in the Cotswolds, U.K.
Just outside the village of Bisley, our home for the week is a historic estate nestled in the heart of nature. Surrounded by meadows, forest paths, and gentle hills dotted with Welsh Black cattle, it’s a soulful place where imagination and comfort meet.
Every room bursts with personality – from heritage details like grand sycamore staircases and hand-carved paneling to bold interiors that celebrate joy and color.
Step outside and let the natural world invite you in: nap beneath age-old oaks, wander sun-dappled trails, or unwind in the south-facing hot tub. There’s also a heated pool, sauna, steam room, and private tennis courts for those who crave movement and play.
The surrounding countryside offers quiet magic too. A walk across the fields leads to a tiny hamlet with its golden-stone cottages and friendly pub, while the nearby town of Stroud brims with creativity, from its vibrant Saturday market to its independent art scene.
This June, our Cotswolds retreat offers space to connect – with yourself, with others, and with the peaceful rhythm of English country life. Expect morning meditation and yoga, cozy dinners under candlelit beams, meaningful workshops from Marea’s Inner Joy program, and spontaneous bursts of beauty and delight—the kind Camp Joy is known for.
If you’re seeking laughter, stillness, inspiration – or just a reset surrounded by nature and kind women – come join us in this extraordinary corner of England.
