The Venue
We visited several venues before choosing Tofte Manor. When we arrived, we were immediately struck by the healing energy of the place. The magic of Tofte resonates throughout the entire estate, in particular, its labyrinth and grounds.
Tofte Manor
The manor itself is beautiful, filled with rich and warm interiors, crystals, antiques and cosy corners. You can relax in the drawing room, the snug and the library, as well as an abundance of spaces outside. It is intimate and yet spacious, catering for connection and reflection.
We have exclusive use of the estate, and with only 20 guests, there is an abundance of space for you to relax, integrate and process. Cosy up in a corner and read a book, meditate in a hammock, relax in the pool or play a game of tennis. This wonderful environment is integral in helping to digest the healing process.
The Labyrinths
Walking the labyrinth quiets the mind, opens the heart and grounds the body. Our labyrinth walks will be curated by the divine Maggie Rose , our wonderful shamanic practitioner.
The Tofte Manor Star Labyrinth and Earth Labyrinth act as a source of inspiration and can be used as tools to explore our own inner journey. Research has shown that walking a labyrinth creates balance in the body and mind by balancing the two hemispheres of the brain.
Incorporated into the labyrinth designs are all the elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Wood and Water. Water plays an important role at Tofte Manor; drinking pure vital, energetic water is essential to our health. Every drop of water that comes into the property has been energetically charged.
The Tofte Star Labyrinth copies the design of the ancient 11 circuit pattern of the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral in France, but with a unique twist. Water runs through it, under the labyrinth pathway, and can be drunk. This water was tested and photographed by Dr Masaru Emoto’s laboratories.
The Yurt
The beautiful Yurt is set on a quiet spot within the grounds not far from the Star Labyrinth. This is a circular space, 33 feet in diameter and is kept beautifully warm with FAR infrared heating that helps the body to detox and build the immune system. The space will be used for TRE classes, morning practices (Yoga, Tai Chi, Sophorology) and other workshops. A space waiting for magic to happen.
The Fire Pit
The Tofte fire pit sits in a quiet open space under open skies and next to the ancient oak tree. It is built in the shape of the ancient symbol of the ouroboros, the snake eating its’ own tail representing death and re-birth. In the centre under the fireplace lies the yin/yang symbol making this a special space for working with the cleansing element of Fire.
The element of Fire is transformational and purifying. It gives warmth and comfort, and it also burns away and destroys. Like everything in its extreme, it holds the energy of the polar opposites, nourishment and destruction.
