ABOUT TRIGONOS
One of North Wales’ foremost retreat venues, the clean and comfortable environment at Trigonos is conducive to giving you permission to deeply rest, relax and unwind.
The Trigonos site has a beautifully tranquil stream running through the grounds, with woodlands and lawns to explore, and situated on the edge of the Nantlle lake, surrounded by the epic splendour of the mountains of Snowdonia.
We have a mixture of rooms available for this retreat, either in the Eryr (ensuite), Dol Gwydion (ensuite) or Dol Wennol (shared bathroom) wings of Trigonos.
Trigonos’ chefs are legendary: the vegetarian and vegan food is always inspiring and nourishing.
ABOUT YOUR RETREAT HOSTS
Yoga teacher, singer and storyteller Claire Mace is based in North Wales. She is deeply moved by the depth of this ancient landscape and the power of nature. Her gift is in creating safe space for students to become more embodied, and therefore better placed to move through the world. She runs yoga classes, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings that guide students to practice where they are at, working at their edge compassionately, no matter what their age, weight or flexibility.
Storyteller Shonaleigh is a living legend: brought up in the Drut’syla tradition by her Bubbe (grandmother) she has a repertoire of over three thousand stories. She’s entertaining, thought-provoking, warm-hearted – and unforgettable.
