Hosted at Lime Wood, the five-star country house hotel in the heart of the New Forest, Joyspan is a two-day, expert-led immersion to help you extend your joyspan – the length of time you truly enjoy your life – through simple, intentional choices. Leave energised, inspired, and ready to embrace the beauty in every day.
