'The Two Souls' Retreat
Shepherd hut digital detox retreat in West Sussex
Tucked away on Kettlesbridge Farm in the heart of West Sussex, Robin Shepherd's Hut is a sanctuary for two — where the air feels softer, the pace slows down, and the paddocks set the rhythm of your day.
Just over an hour from London by train to Billingshurst and 40 minutes from Brighton, Ellasfield is one of West Sussex's most accessible rural retreats — ideal for visitors from Surrey, Hampshire, Kent, and beyond.
The ‘The Two Souls’ Retreat is a preventative health investment for two friends, couples, or family members who aim to deepen their connection and find respite from excessive digital connectivity. Set in serene Ellasfield, West Sussex.
A nature-based digital detox retreat. Your phone goes in the lockbox; in its place, an instant camera, a stack of books, board games, and a map to explore the local area.
We provide a sanctuary of nature immersion for radical digital detoxing, stress reduction, and for shifting from ‘Human Doing’ to ‘Human Being’.
Outside, an outdoor bath and infrared sauna beneath open skies — soak in the healing warmth, watch the horses wander past, and let the evening do the rest. Inside, a super king-size bed, red light therapy panel for you and a LumaPet Red Light pad for your doggy companion, and a welcome plant-based hamper mean everything you need is already here.
When you feel the call, Ellasfield awaits

An Immersive Transformative Healing Retreat
21-24th May
IS THIS FOR YOU?
This retreat is for those who are ready.
Ready to go beyond the surface. Ready to sit with what's been waiting in the quiet. Ready to let the Land, the ceremony, and the medicine do what no amount of thinking can.
THE LAND
Ellasfield — a sanctuary unlike any other.
Nestled on Kettlebridge Farm in the rolling West Sussex countryside, Ellasfield is not just a venue—it is a living, breathing healing space: three acres of paddocks, natural swimming, ancient practices, and interiors that feel like Sussex dreams.
QUANTUM ENERGY COACHING
Quantum Energy Coaching sits at the extraordinary intersection of three worlds: the cutting edge of neuroscience, the profound insights of quantum physics, and the timeless truth of ancient spiritual wisdom.
Together, these create a methodology that can reach
— and rewire — patterns that talk therapy simply cannot access. We work at the level of the quantum field, using consciousness itself as the change agent.
Within your retreat experience, the two Quantum Energy Coaching sessions are timed with precision: the first prepares your mind and nervous system for the sessions ahead. The second integrates anything that arose, anchoring new neural pathways while the integration window is still open.
The result is not just a profound weekend. It is a permanent upgrade to your operating system.
YOUR FACILITATORS
This retreat is co-facilitated by Kim Cuddis-Bryant — owner of Ellasfield, shamanic practitioner, cacao ceremony facilitator, equine therapist and yoga instructor whose path with the land and its medicines spans over 20 years — and Lois Goodman, founder of The Conscious Collective, holistic coach, Quantum Transformation Coach, and Psychedelic Integration Specialist.
Together they hold a rare combination of expertise — ceremony, science, and soul.
Just over an hour from London, a world away from everything else.

'WHERE WE GATHER' SACRED PAUSE RETREAT
16-18TH OCTOBER 2026
Join us for a nurturing retreat that gives you permission to embrace a sacred pause. Take a moment to slow down as the seasons change and align with their rhythm. Together, let’s gently explore the stillness within us and celebrate this beautiful time of honoring our wisdom and connecting with our hearts.
£450 shared accommodation | £850 Private One Person Luxury Shepherds Hut
There's a place in the West Sussex countryside tucked between the trees where time moves a little slower. Where the air feels softer, and something inside you loosens without you even noticing.
A place that feels strangely familiar — as if you've been waiting to return to it. Here, mornings drift in with birdsong, evenings glow golden, and the quiet holds you the way the world rarely does.
If you've tried the meditation app, journaling, and yoga classes but still feel that something deeper is calling to you, this experience is for you - its more than a retreat, it's a remembering.
