Evangeline Di Michele
Evangeline's Signature Opening

The Wave — An Undulation

Opens every breathwork session

"Fifteen minutes of slow, hypnotic rocking — like a lullaby for your nervous system. Acupressure at the heart, the diaphragm, the belly and the hips. Not to do anything. Simply to say: you are safe here. You can let go. The breath will come."

Full Immersion

What's Included

Breathwork & Bodywork

Breathwork sessions with Evangeline across all four days — working the diaphragm, the belly and the heart. Each session opens with The Wave — An Undulation.

Tulamassage

Evangeline's signature 90-minute meditative bodywork — a continuous, rhythmic flow of touch that follows the body's natural pathways, releasing deep physical and emotional tension.

Angela Jones — Swim Wild

90 minutes breathing in cold water at the estate lake — pulse and oxygen monitoring, movement and stretching, safety held with absolute expertise. Published author of two books · Environmental Awards Winner 2021–25 · The Guardian's Top Adventures · ITV & BBC featured · Hay Festival author · Chair, Save the River Usk
