About the studio
A small studio, a short walk from the sea.
Bright Flower Retreats Ltd is a privately-held British company, registered in Worthing in July 2024. We plan and run gentle, small-group retreats on the English south coast.
Our story
The company was founded by Pamela Cassidy, who lives a few streets from the pier in Worthing. Over the years she had watched friends come home from grand destination retreats more tired than when they left — early flights, programmes stuffed with workshops, instructions to do more, not less. She thought something quieter and nearer to home would do more good.
We began in 2024 with a single weekend retreat for six guests at a family-run guesthouse. The format has not changed much: small numbers, plain food, unhurried days, and the South Downs or the shingle beach a short walk away.
How we work
We aren't a franchise, a chain, or a wellness club. Every retreat is written by hand — a rough shape set weeks ahead, final details shaped around the people who turn up. We do not sell supplements, we do not run upsells, and we do not ask you to buy anything on the way out.
We rent our rooms from independent local businesses. Our kitchen partners are small; our walks are led by people who grew up on these paths. Where we can, we pay our collaborators above the going rate.
Who we are for
Most of our guests are working adults in their thirties to sixties who simply need a few quiet days. We've welcomed teachers, nurses, product managers, small-business owners, and people between jobs. You do not need to be fit, flexible, experienced in meditation, or part of any particular tradition.
Where to find us
Our registered office and correspondence address is in Worthing, West Sussex. Retreats run from partner venues within a short drive; you'll receive full address details when you book.
