A family retreat or time away from the chaos of everyday life can rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.&nbsp;But in our busy lives, finding family time isn&#8217;t always easy. 



Step forward re:treat, a Berkshire-based business that&#8217;s all about helping families reconnect, re-energise and recharge.



Aimed at a parent and their child, the Re:Connect retreats are built around taking time away from the frantic pace of daily life to enjoy quality time and experiences together.&nbsp;Bespoke private retreats for family groups or groups of (adult) friends can also be arranged on request.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Adventure, fun and relaxation</h2>



The core ingredients at re:treat are movement and adventure, fresh air, relaxation, creativity, and &#8211; of course &#8211; great food.&nbsp;Think activities like craft and cooking workshops, Pilates, yoga, den building, bushcraft, pottery partner workouts and spa treatments &#8211; all optional.



It&#8217;s easy to get lost in the bustle of daily life &#8211; school, work, kids&#8217; activities, life admin, running a home. And it means we sometimes disconnect from our family. But spending quality time together fosters communication and connection, and it also creates memories. Research has shown that strong family relationships helps to promote mental wellbeing.

The two-day programme has been designed with a parent and teen or tween aged 9+ in mind. Most retreats run from mid-afternoon on day one to about the same time on day two.



Each programme has been carefully designed by a team of wellness specialists, led by Rachel Jones. A mum to three girls, Rachel established re:treat when she found there was little in the way of wellness breaks for families.

The re:treat retreats are for families &#8211; and that means they&#8217;re designed for the adults as much as the children. Rachel says we all need to stop sometimes, and replenish our stores of mental, emotional, and physical energy, and she&#8217;s right. But if we can do that with our children &#8211; enjoying time and activities together &#8211; then even better. Right?!



Located on a working farm in East Ilsley north of Newbury in West Berkshire, the luxury accommodation is in a converted barn that sleeps 10 people. There&#8217;s a large open-plan dining room that flows into a kitchen providing the perfect place to enjoy the foodie feasts, cookery lessons and talks around the central island unit.
