Eden Rise
A welcoming base for wellbeing gatherings
Some retreat venues announce themselves through a grand lineage; Eden Rise’s story begins with a gift. In 2018, the Network of Wellbeing charity acquired this roughly 200-year-old Devon property, whose two converted barns now host wellbeing workshops and events. Set in the countryside near Totnes, it combines a rural feel with the convenience of being close to a town, making it a practical base for groups gathering to learn, reflect, or spend time together. The focus is broad wellbeing rather than a named meditation school, so the character of a visit depends on the particular event. Past facilitators have described the team as kind and helpful, especially with the practical work of hosting a retreat, and the house-like atmosphere as welcoming and spacious. Check the Eden Rise website for current events, and ask the organizer about the schedule, meals, and sleeping arrangements before booking.
