ONE HOUR FROM LONDON. ZERO SIGNAL. TOTAL RESET.
ONE HOUR FROM LONDON. ZERO SIGNAL. TOTAL RESET.
A THREE DAY Digital Detox & Shamanic Healing Retreat in the West Sussex Countryside
The Modern Crisis: Chronically Connected, Spiritually Disconnected
Look at your screen time report. Look at your racing mind.
In the city, we are bombarded by a non-stop loop of notifications, blue light, and artificial urgency, like every action is driven by a gun to your head. Your nervous system wasn’t built for this. When you are always accessible to the world, you become completely inaccessible to yourself.
It is time to close the laptop, hand over your phone, and step into organic time.
The Sanctuary: West Sussex
Nestled in the rolling hills of the West Sussex countryside—exactly one hour from central London—lies a private, peaceful sanctuary designed for deep energetic work.
Leave the tube station, step onto the earth, and listen to the silence. Here, the concrete disappears, replaced by ancient trees, crackling firelight, and the raw medicine of nature.
Held in Safe Hands: 20+ Years of Wisdom
Deep ceremonial work requires an experienced anchor. This retreat is fully guided and held by Kim Bryant, a practitioner with over 20 years of continuous study, initiation, and ceremonial lineage mastery.
With two decades of experience navigating the spiritual and psychological realms, Kim creates an impeccably secure, grounded, and non-judgmental container. Whether you are completely new to shamanic rituals or an experienced practitioner, you will be met with deep integrity, emotional safety, and profound wisdom and kindness.
The Transformation: What Awaits You
But how do I completely unplug?
We understand that turning off your phone can cause anxiety. To allow you to fully surrender, we provide an Emergency Protocol:
We give you a dedicated emergency contact number for our on-site retreat manager.
You pass this number to your family, children, or essential workplace contacts.
If a true emergency occurs, our team will immediately alert you. Otherwise, you remain blissfully, beautifully offline.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Do I really have to give up my phone completely?
Yes. To experience the true clinical and spiritual benefits of a digital detox, all phones, tablets, smartwatches, and laptops are securely stored upon arrival. They will be returned to you at the end of the weekend. If you have immediate anxieties about this, please read our Emergency Protocol section below.
❓ What is the Emergency Protocol for my family/work?
We provide you with a dedicated phone number of our on-site retreat manager before you depart London. You can pass these contacts to your family, children's caregivers, or essential work contacts. If an urgent matter arises, our team will immediately locate you. No news is good news—you can truly let go.
❓ I am completely new to shamanic rituals. Is this safe for beginners?
Absolutely. Shamanic healing is simply an ancient way of remembering our connection to the earth and ourselves. Because our lead facilitator brings over 20 years of grounded experience, the space is built entirely on safety, integrity, and gentle guidance. You will never be forced to participate in anything that does not feel entirely aligned with your comfort level.
❓ Exactly how do I get there from London?
The sanctuary is highly accessible. You can take a direct train from London Victoria or London Bridge to our nearest station in West Sussex (approx. 50–60 minutes). From there, it is a short 5-minute taxi ride to the venue. We can also co-ordinate a taxi service for arrivals at a specific time. Free on-site parking is available if you prefer to drive.
❓ What are the accommodations and catering like?
We believe that deep spiritual work requires deep physical comfort and nourishment. You will stay in a beautifully appointed, luxury shepherds hut surrounded by nature, with private infrared sauna and outdoor bath. All nourishment is unprocessed, whole foods - locally sourced as much as possible, and plant-based to support your body’s natural detoxification process. We fully accommodate allergies and dietary requirements (e.g., gluten-free, vegan) if noted on your intake form.
❓ What should I pack if I cannot bring entertainment?
We recommend packing comfortable, layered clothing for both indoor meditation and outdoor land work, sturdy walking shoes, a water bottle, and a physical journal with a pen. You will be amazed at how quickly your mind fills with creative thoughts and clarity when the screen is gone—writing them down is a vital part of the healing process.
Reviews
Had a lovely stay at Ellasfield. Beautiful peaceful countryside setting, welcoming host and comfortable shepherd’s hut. We really enjoyed seeing the animals, particularly the pig. The hot tub and stone baked pizza was a really enjoyable experience. We were fortunate enough to be able to bring our little dog along and he also had such a lovely time. The breakfast was delicious and little touches added by the host greatly appreciated. We will definitely return and recommend to family and friends!

Cosy retreat in the heart of the countryside. Ellasfield is near the lovely south downs, so great for cycling and walking - we used the 'Alltrails app' to find local footpaths.
We loved the quirkiness and accessibility of the shepherds hut, complete with: hot tub, pizza oven, private decking area overlooking horses and the friendliest pig.
And a special thank you to Kim, for all the additional, thoughtful treats which we were not expecting!
Perfect stay in Ellasfield, couldn't fault anything, exactly what we were hoping for and more :)
Rebecca Moir
The shepherds hut itself was great. There was a lot of space and a lot of thought went into the decor and usability. The bed was very comfortable and had a slept fantastically!
The location was perfect. It was peaceful and quiet. You was surrounded by nature and the views was great. They own various different animals such as pigs and horses which surround the outside of the property.
From before arrive and all the way through the stay the communication with the hosts was great and they went out of there way to make sure it was extra special.
We’ll be going back and can’t recommend this enough.

Robin Shepherd's Hut in West Sussex
Find yourself in a hidden gem nestled among the trees, where the air feels softer and time moves a little slower. This beautiful wellness hut offers scenic views across the paddocks, where you might see the occasional horse or pig wandering by. Step outside to enjoy your outdoor bath and infrared sauna for two - sit back, soak in the healing light, and watch the sunset while sipping on a glass of homemade ginger ale!
At Ellasfield, we embrace the principles of Ahimsa and strive to create a harmonious environment. We kindly ask that you refrain from cooking or storing meat products on-site. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Inside the hut, enjoy the view of the paddocks from the window at the foot of your super king-size bed. There’s a hot shower, a small kitchen equipped with Yogi Teas, and London Nootropics Adaptogenic coffee for those tranquil mornings, and all the offline essentials needed for a two-night stay away from technology. Lock your phone away and replace it with an instant camera, board games, a selection of books, and a map and compass to help you explore the local area.
Robin Shepherd's Hut is dog-friendly, but we kindly ask that your companion be kept on a lead at all times, as we have cats and livestock on the property.
For Your Dog:
• Wash station with an outdoor plastic bath with warm water
• Towel
• Bramley dog toiletries
