The Blonde Hedgehog announces ‘Spiritual Nutrition’ Retreat on the secluded island of Alderney

Introducing the island of Alderney’s newest wellness retreat, hosted by boutique hotel, The Blonde Hedgehog.

Alderney is the most northerly located of the Channel Islands, situated eight miles north of Normandy’s coast. Its remote location means that the island provides the ideal spot for a wellness retreat, allowing guests to disconnect from the stresses of the modern world.

The three-day retreat will open visitors’ eyes to the world of astrology, where guests can expect a wide variety of wellness activities from tranquil walking experiences, plant-based feasts and meditation to introductions to astrology, mindful embodiment and moon placing. A typical day at the retreat will involve plenty of time for mindfulness and relaxation, whilst enjoying the luxurious surroundings of the hotel and the rugged landscape of the island. Not only this, but much of the retreat centres around regaining a focus on nature and all it has to offer, including the wide variety of plant-based produce native to the island.

To display the wonders of the island, as well as the hotel’s high-quality cuisine, on the second day guests can expect a banquet cooked on open fires. The hotel has organised its itinerary to provide something for everyone, and ensured that guests are cared for from the moment they step off the boat onto Alderney.

Activities include:

Meditation followed by moon placing
Mindful embodiment
Introduction to astrology
A plant-based banquet, cooked outside on open fires
Nature and historic walking experience across the island
Chakra realignment

The Spiritual Nutrition Retreat runs from October 28^th-30^th. Pricing for the retreat starts from £625 per person, based on two nights in a standard room.

The Blonde Hedgehog is located within the cobbled streets of Alderney’s St Anne’s, boasts a series of cosy, restored buildings and cottages, that allow explorers to retreat from the harsh autumnal elements, and enjoy the warm glow of its many fireplaces.

Once the adventures of the day are over, visitors can also expect seasonally adapted, exquisite dishes, with head chef Stephen Scott ensuring that both ingredients and guests are taken on a farm-to-table journey.
