The Japanese Ritual for Longevity at voco Lythe Hill with Barbara Cox Lovesy
In today’s fast-paced world, the pursuit of longevity and vitality often takes a back seat. However, the upcoming September retreat at voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa in Haslemere, Surrey, promises a transformative journey into the heart of Japanese wellness rituals, guided by award-winning nutritionist and naturopath Barbara Cox Lovesy.

A Holistic Approach to Longevity
This unique retreat offers a holistic approach to longevity, integrating physical health, mental wellbeing, social connections, and a profound connection to nature and purpose. By embracing these practices, attendees can enhance their quality of life and longevity. Barbara Cox Lovesy, with her decade-long experience living and working in Japan, brings an authentic and enriching perspective on the health benefits of Japanese diet and rituals.
Immerse Yourself in Japanese Culture and Wellness
The weekend retreat provides an immersive experience with delicious food, cooking lessons, and take-home recipes to recreate these healthy dishes.

Discover Ikigai and Wellness Vision
A significant aspect of the retreat is the exploration of ‘Ikigai’, a Japanese concept that means ‘reason for being’. This session will focus on goal setting and creating a wellness vision to help alleviate symptoms of weight loss, menopause, and to enhance energy and connectedness.
Engage in Rejuvenating Activities
Participants will engage in various activities designed to bring movement and serenity into their lives, such as Tai Chi, forest bathing, and Ikebana (flower arranging). These practices are not only therapeutic but also promote a sense of tranquillity and well-being.

Take-Home Workbook for Continued Wellness
An accompanying workbook, created specifically for the retreat, will provide guidelines for attendees to adopt and integrate the principles learned over the weekend into their daily lives. This ensures that the benefits of the retreat can be sustained long after returning home.
Experience Transformation and Serenity
This unique experience at voco Lythe Hill is more than just a getaway – it is an opportunity to reconnect with oneself, dream of future health and wellness, and surround oneself with positivity. Embrace the art of staying young through the profound and enriching Japanese rituals for longevity.
