About our UK retreat
About La Crisalida Retreats
La Crisalida UK opened in August 2024. a place of personal inner transformation, a place to rest, rejuvenate and reconnect to the authentic you.
The name, La Crisalida, comes from our first retreat, which we opened in Spain in 2013. The translation of “la crisalida” is chrysalis, the place a caterpillar retreats to, before emerging as a beautiful butterfly.
Our retreats in the UK and Spain are designed to give you the opportunity to experience living a life of wellness – proper rest, healthy nutritious diet, regular and good quality exercise, releasing stress and tension to find relaxation, exploring inner beliefs to become the real authentic you. At La Crisalida UK John and Lisa bring together many elements that they felt is needed to live a rich and fulfilled life, full of health and wellbeing. We created the unique La Crisalida Programme which runs in both retreats, to create our wellness retreat centres, set in two stunning locations.
Come and cocoon yourself with us. Retreat from the busyness and enjoy the present moment at our stunning location here in the Upper Severn Valley, mid Wales.
Lisa and John Brant – Founders
La Crisalida Retreats was created by John and Lisa Brant, an British couple. For many years they lived in London, working in corporate jobs, before starting on a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation.

The retreat is located in the historic charming Maesmawr Hall, a grade II listed building. It’s packed with Tudor and Victorian character in the Main House, with little nooks to snuggle up in with a book. Our new activity room overlooks the valley, with trees and grassland.
