Groups At Ballin Temple
Amateur or professional groups of 3 to 15 can have special breaks at
Ballin Temple. We are well suited to executive and transformation retreats
where privacy is important and the exclusive natural environment gives
positive energy. See
an example of a retreat here, or photos
from YogArt here.
We can arrange for a number of activities if you are coming as a group. Groups can combine angling, gardening, forestry, cooking, skeet shooting and yoga, or develop team dynamics in a comfortable private setting. We are particularly enthusiastic about introducing people to rural living and healthy lifestyles.
We are happy to help plan a special break and can draw on a network of coaches and trainers to help make your retreat all it can be.
Examples of Bespoke Retreats
The boxes below indicate two possible formats for group retreats: mid-week or weekend and whole week. A variety of morning and afternoon activities are indicated, although you may have a specific focus in mind. Groups may like to concentrate on one activity, like fishing, painting or yoga, which they pursue most mornings and/or afternoons.
We can also customise group breaks which focus on lifestyle. These range from a Spa Week which focuses on healthy body, mind and spirit to a LOHAS Camp, which introduces a number of rural activities. Some examples are shown below.
