THE ACTIVE RESET RETREAT
The Active Reset
Move. Restore. Reconnect.
11th - 14th June 2027
A three-night retreat with personal trainer and Reiki practitioner Emmi Ketley.
A few days to move your body, clear your head and get some energy back.
The Active Reset combines outdoor fitness, gentle movement, one-to-one Reiki, nourishing food, time in nature and plenty of space to simply switch off.
This isn’t a bootcamp. You’ll work hard and Emmi’s energy and enthusiasm will definitely keep you going, but there’s no pressure to compete or keep up. It’s about challenging yourself at your own level, enjoying the movement and feeling good afterwards.
Emmi will help you move in a way that feels good, challenge yourself at your own level and rediscover how much better you can feel when you give your body the right balance of movement, nourishment and proper rest.
You don’t need to be particularly fit to come. You just need to be ready for a few days that are about looking after you.
Meet Emmi
Emmi Ketley is a personal trainer and Reiki practitioner, bringing together two sides of wellbeing that sit perfectly at the heart of The Active Reset.
She understands that feeling good isn't simply about exercising harder. It's about strength and movement, but also recovery, rest and giving yourself permission to slow down.
Throughout your stay, Emmi will guide the fitness and movement sessions and will also offer every guest the opportunity to experience a private one-to-one Reiki session.
Whether you're already active, haven't exercised for a while or simply feel as though you've lost your rhythm, the retreat is designed to meet you where you are.
Your one-to-one Reiki session
One afternoon of the retreat will deliberately slow right down.
Emmi will offer each guest an optional individual Reiki session, giving you some quiet one-to-one time away from the group.
While sessions take place, everyone else is free to do exactly what they feel like doing.
Curl up with a book. Take a walk. Have a nap. Sit amongst the wildflowers. Make a cup of tea and do absolutely nothing.
There is no pressure to have Reiki if it isn't for you. Like so much of The Reset, it's simply there if you'd like to experience it.
Move in the morning. Slow down in the afternoon. Gather together in the evening.
A day at The Active Reset
Morning
Wake beneath canvas to the sounds of the countryside.
There'll be time for tea or coffee before meeting Emmi for your morning movement session.
Then we'll come together for a relaxed, nourishing breakfast and make plans for the day.
Afternoon
Afternoons will have a deliberately slower rhythm.
Depending on the day, there may be another activity, time to explore the surrounding countryside, your individual Reiki session with Emmi, or simply a few hours with absolutely nothing scheduled.
This is a retreat, after all.
Evening
As the day begins to cool, we'll slow things down.
There may be some gentle stretching before dinner, followed by good food, conversation and evenings around the fire.
Then it's back to your tent, a proper bed and hopefully one of those sleeps that only seems to happen after a day spent outdoors.
Staying at The Reset
You'll stay in one of our canvas bell tents, surrounded by the meadow and open countryside at Cedar.
After a day of movement, good food and fresh air, your tent is somewhere to properly switch off. You'll have a comfortable bed, beautiful bedding and your own space to rest and recharge.
Step outside in the morning and you're straight into nature, ready for another day at The Reset.
We'll take care of the food, accommodation and all the little details. You just need to bring yourself, some comfortable clothes and trainers.
There are different bell tent options and price points available, whether you'd prefer your own space or are happy to share. Check your chosen retreat dates and book the tent you feel most comfortable in.
Around the Fire
After dinner, we'll gather around the firepit as the sun disappears and the evening settles over Cedar.
Some evenings will include simple rituals and practices. This might be a meditation, intention setting, breathwork, quiet reflection or taking a moment to consider something you'd like to let go of and something you'd like to carry home with you.
Nothing is forced and you can take as much or as little from these moments as feels right for you.
Other evenings may simply be about wrapping yourself in a blanket, sitting beside the fire, talking, laughing and watching the flames.
There might be music.
There might be stories.
There will definitely be time to look up at the sky.
And when you're ready, wander back across the field to your tent, climb into bed and sleep beneath canvas.
You may come to The Reset to move your body, but it’s often the quiet moments in between and the connections you will make that you’ll remember most.
Food is part of The Reset too!
This isn't a retreat where you'll spend four days feeling hungry.
Food will be fresh, nourishing and generous, designed to complement an active few days without becoming restrictive.
We'll eat together, share meals around the table and make food one of the enjoyable parts of the experience.
Because looking after yourself shouldn't feel like punishment.
You will have plenty of time to do nothing
We deliberately don't want to fill every hour.
There will be gaps.
That's the point.
Time to wander through the meadow, read a book, talk to someone you've just met, sit quietly with a coffee, have an afternoon nap or watch the sun go down.
You can join in with what's happening, or occasionally decide that what you really need is an hour to yourself.
This is your Reset too.
Who is The Active Reset for?
You don't need to arrive super fit, flexible or already following an exercise programme.
The Active Reset is for anyone who feels like they could benefit from a few days away from normal life and wants to come home feeling stronger, rested and re-energised.
You might already love exercise. You might be trying to find your way back to it. Or you might simply know that you've been putting yourself at the bottom of the list for too long.
Come as you are.
What's included
Your three-night Active Reset will include three nights' accommodation at The Reset at Cedar, guided fitness and movement sessions with Emmi, an optional private one-to-one Reiki session, mobility and recovery sessions, all meals and refreshments, evening time around the fire and plenty of unscheduled time to rest and enjoy the surroundings.
We'll provide the equipment you need for the planned sessions, so you don't need to turn up with a boot full of fitness gear.
The Active Reset with Emmi Ketley
Three nights to move, restore and reconnect.
Come for the workouts.
Stay for the stillness.
Leave feeling a little more like yourself.
