Through a generous gift, the Network of Wellbeing charity acquired Eden Rise in 2018, consisting of two converted barns in the lovely Devon countryside near Totnes. The 200 year old property can accommodate up to 20 people to sleep, including two bell tents (May – Sept), a spacious kitchen/dining area, one large workshop space and one lounge room, underfloor heating throughout the building, rear garden with large fire bowl and BBQ, enclosed courtyard garden with campfire, outdoor seating areas, and even a separate sauna facility! There is access to the adjoining land for walks and other outdoor meeting areas.
The charity uses Eden Rise to support wellbeing-related residential retreats at subsidised rates. We organise events ourselves, co-host and partner with others to create holistic community activities, and open the venue for hire.
Eco-Practices: Our building runs on solar and green energy suppliers, we produce fresh filtered water from our borehole, upcycle/recycle, compost food waste onsite, and use sustainable and eco-products.
“Eden Rise is one of my favourite places to run workshops. The combination of the incredible location and beautiful interiors create the kind of homeliness that we would like to offer to our participants.” Ed Rooke (Relationship Coach)
