Your Life. More Joyful.
Everyone wants to live not only longer but better.
There is nowhere that brings us as much joy as the forest, and we are delighted to host the first-ever C&TH Balance Retreat here at Lime Wood, in the heart of the New Forest National Park. This retreat is a curated wellness escape designed for curious, conscious, and discerning seekers who want to discover the tools for a life well lived.
