Performance Getaway in Devon: 29-31 March 2023

3 days to reset your body and mind – for increased performance, a calmer and more productive brain, a happier and healthier body! Learn about the best foods, how to train your brain for sustained energy and performance.

You will spend three days with a small group of likeminded people in peaceful North Devon – we have found a gem of a venue: Kentisbury Grange – choose from cosy and luxurious rooms in the main house or book a spacious lodge at the lake. 

Get away from it all, relax, recover and retreat. This is your time.

Read on for details and our agenda!

 

We are Dr Vikki Barnes, clinical psychologist and happiness consultant; and Carola Becker, Nutrition Coach and Fitness Instructor. 
 

We both are passionate and experienced in our fields, well-known speakers with an unconventional style and instinctive enthusiasm about wellbeing. We both work with businesses and individuals all over the world and this is our third year of running award-winning getaways to help you become a healthier and more authentic leader.

What to Expect:
 

When you join the retreat, expect to let go of the responsibilities of your everyday life (maybe even unplug your phone!), and create space for yourself to explore your very own wellbeing. You will have a hands-on experience and learn about nutrition, leadership, wellbeing, and positive psychology, it’s all there for the taking!

What’s Included:

Wonderfully comfortable accommodation 
Relaxed talks about Nutrition, Positive Psychology, Brain performance and Leadership
‘Carola-inspired’ meals and snacks throughout 
Use of the main house and grounds 
Time in nature – no matter the weather… (bring wellies!)

You will leave armed with a goodie bag with additional information, your personal journal, a meal plan, Vikki’s best-selling book and lots of other treats! 

 
 

Here's what our guests say:

“I had the great pleasure of joining Vikki and Carola at Pentillie Castle. I had high expectations of what the retreat would be like, and I can honestly say it delivered so much more than I expected. Vikki and Carola were generous sharing their ideas and expertise, and also managed to create a safe environment for all the participants to feel welcomed and included. I would highly recommend their retreat and would look forward to participating in another on in the future.” – Eric
 
 

“I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to you both. I had such a wonderful time at the retreat.  It was great to take time to nurture myself and spend time with some really special people. Feeling very grateful for the time. 

Keep doing what you both do – the world needs more of this.”

 

– E. Moeller
