Broughton Sanctuary

Broughton Sanctuary is not a destination, it is a living, breathing field of consciousness.

A place where the land remembers.

A place where the body softens.

A place where the soul finally exhales.

Set across 3,000 acres of rolling green hills in North Yorkshire, the estate feels like stepping into a parallel dimension: ancient, sacred, intentional, and built for deep inner transformation.

This is where I stayed in September 2025 for the Zach Bush Immersive Retreat, and the experience continues to ripple through my body months later. Anyone seeking healing, awakening, and a return to their inner truth should experience this land at least once in their lifetime.

Held sacred and protected by 32 consecutive generations of the Tempest family, one of England’s oldest Catholic landed-gentry lineages, this land has been a sanctuary of devotion, stewardship, and mystical protection for over 900 years. Its evolution into a modern spiritual haven is extraordinary, especially under the current custodians, Roger and Paris Tempest, whose union feels aligned by the stars, blessed by the angels, and guarded by the Sanctuary’s ancient elemental beings.

The experience felt in this sanctuary has been so immersive, so deeply felt, that I would rather not say more, and instead allow you to discover the estate, its magic, and its living story through your own stay.

WHY THIS PLACE MATTERS

Broughton is built for consciousness work. Every corner is intentionally created to regulate your nervous system, activate your intuition, and reconnect you with the natural world.

Here is what makes it unique:

1. AVALON WELLBEING CENTRE

The heart of the sanctuary, a futuristic temple dedicated to healing.

A light-filled glass dome for ceremonies

Cold plunge, heat therapies, and restorative spaces

Meditation halls, movement studios & breathwork rooms

Therapists, energy healers, and somatic practitioners available on-site

2. THE LAND CODES


The forests and trails hold a frequency that feels ancient and deeply maternal.

Walking here is not a hike, it's communion.

3. ACCOMMODATION

From historic manor rooms to modern eco-lodges, every stay is warm, grounding, and beautifully quiet.

4. FOOD AS MEDICINE

The meals are whole, clean, colourful, and energetically nourishing.

5. RETREATS & EVENTS

The Sanctuary hosts some of the world’s most transformational retreats:

Zach Bush (Immersive Experience)

Breathwork journeys

Plant-based culinary weeks

Women’s circles & somatic awakening retreats

MY EXPERIENCE (SEPTEMBER IMMERSIVE RETREAT)

My days felt like entering a portal, each one peeling away layers I didn’t know were ready to be released.

The air itself felt coded

My sleep became deeper

My meditations expanded

My body recalibrated

My creativity returned in waves

Inspiration poured in as if the land was speaking directly to me

This place held me in a way few places ever have.

I left lighter, clearer, more aligned, and more me.
