Come with Us & Experience...

An eye-opening journey to Dartmoor

Immerse yourself in the world-renowned beauty of this magnificent land of forests and wildlife, and stay in beautiful accommodations.

Immersion in a healing environment with meditation, exercise, healthy eating and wellness practices.

Every day at the retreat will be infused with healing practices including meditation, healthy eating, and time for reflection. In addition, we'll practice trekking and enjoy other activities. Together, these practices will be a catalyst to your personal transformation and inspire you to continue them upon your return home.

A safe, caring space to examine your questions, deal with your struggles and heal

Maristan provides a safe, non-judgmental space. This is upheld by group norms at every retreat that respect privacy, quietude and personal space.
Asma and the team are trained to ensure that each group member isn't embarrassed, hurt or imposed upon. We don't force you to do or say anything you're not ready for. Rather, we'll ensure that you're respected, heard and valued for what you bring, and that you can keep everything private that you want to keep private.

A therapeutic process with a registered practitioner

Asma will lead you through a therapeutic process that validates your struggle and offers hope for a brighter future. You do this in group sessions that are facilitated by Asma and our team member, Tasneem Mahmood. They use a workbook to lead you through each retreat, based on expert research and strategies. Each retreat has a workbook specific to the topic. Using various therapeutic strategies choreographed by Asma, and the workbook, you reflect on your challenges and then discuss them as you wish throughout the group sessions. You’ll also have the chance to ask Asma and Tasneem one-to-one questions.
