Who We Work With
For Recovery
For those stepping out of treatment or looking to strengthen what they’ve already built. Our nature-led, adventure-based programmes are designed to protect your sobriety, deepen your resilience, and help you build a life you don’t want to escape from.
For Women
For women at a crossroads — whether that’s recovery, reinvention, or simply a long overdue reset. Deerstone offers a rare thing: time and space that is entirely yours, in an environment built to help you hear yourself again.
For Corporate
Performance without recovery is unsustainable. Our corporate retreats give senior professionals and leadership teams a structured space to decompress, reset, and rebuild — returning with the clarity and purpose to lead at their best.
Why Pelagus?
Relapse and burnout are most likely when you return to the same environment, the same pressures, and the same patterns. Pelagus exists to break that cycle.
We take you somewhere extraordinary — where nature, movement, and expert care work together to shift your perspective, rebuild your foundations, and show you what’s possible.
Every guest arrives with a story. Every guest leaves with a plan.
How it Works?
We begin by getting to know you. Before your retreat starts, we take the time to understand your history, your goals, and what you need most. From there, we build a programme that is entirely yours.
During your retreat you will move through a carefully designed sequence of adventure, therapy, and reflection — each element chosen to challenge, restore, and transform.
By the time you leave, you will have a clearer vision of your path forward and the tools to walk it with confidence.r
Our Treatments
Every Pelagus retreat combines a core set of evidence-based therapeutic approaches with the transformative power of nature and adventure.
Relapse Prevention Curriculum
A practical, evidence-informed approach to staying well — built around real life, not a classroom. Skills are developed in nature, on the water, and in honest conversation, making them second nature long after the retreat ends.
Mindfulness and Presence Training
Daily practices that build calm, emotional regulation, and self-awareness from the inside out. Through guided mindfulness, immersion in nature, and complementary therapies including acupuncture, yoga, and Qi Gong, guests learn to return to presence wherever they are.
Luxury Wellness and Recovery Coaching
Delivered in intimate small-group sessions of no more than six guests, in serene natural settings. Topics covered include triggers and cravings, emotional regulation, high-risk situations, and values-based living — the foundations of a life that lasts.
