We were recently moved to read a beautiful article in the ReCoCo (Recovery College Collective) magazine titled “Still Floating,” written by Adam McDonald. In his piece, Adam shares his journey from feeling “in desperate need” of a rest to finding a “bubble of peace and positivity” during a retreat here at Minsteracres.

On a beautiful autumn morning, we welcomed Laura Waugh of Oak & Air to Minsteracres to guide a peaceful Forest Bathing session in our old Shrubbery. Guests were invited to slow down, connect with the natural world through their senses, and find a sense of inner calm amongst the turning leaves. It was a wonderful reminder of the healing power of nature right here on our estate.
