Meet the founders
Kenwyn House
Kenwyn House is an internationally recognised musician, songwriter, and founding member of the multi-million-selling British rock band Reef. Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has achieved three UK Top 10 albums, including a Number One album, alongside numerous Top 10 and Top 20 singles. He has toured internationally and performed on the world’s most prestigious stages.
A lifetime spent navigating high-pressure performance, relentless schedules and the demands of a global creative career gives Kenwyn a distinctive perspective on resilience, creativity, communication, leadership and sustainable success.
Together with Leah Ray, Kenwyn co-founded The Avalon Sanctuary, bringing his experience of high-level performance to an approach that explores how we can achieve and thrive without sacrificing our health, relationships or sense of fulfilment.
Leah Ray
Leah Ray is a professional singer-songwriter, health coach, speaker and retreat facilitator whose experience across health, wellbeing and the creative industries brings a complementary perspective to The Avalon Sanctuary.
Her work brings together health, nutrition, movement, mindset and mindfulness, helping people build the foundations for greater energy, clarity and sustainable wellbeing.
Drawing upon her experience across both the creative and wellbeing sectors, Leah takes a whole person approach to performance and fulfilment, recognising the connection between physical vitality, emotional balance, mental clarity and meaningful human relationships.
Through practical tools, evidence informed strategies and immersive experiences, she helps individuals and organisations create healthier habits, strengthen resilience and support emotional wellbeing, cultivating a more balanced relationship between achievement, happiness and overall wellbeing.
The Avalon Sanctuary
Together, Leah and Kenwyn created The Avalon Sanctuary in response to a world that has become increasingly fast-paced and disconnected from the inner self, relationships and nature, creating lives that can feel unrealistically demanding and increasingly imbalanced.
Combining their experience, Leah and Kenwyn have created practical tools and transformative experiences that can be integrated into everyday life.
Helping people restore inner connection, strengthen relationships, create greater balance, enhanced wellbeing and rediscover a deeper sense of happiness and fulfilment.
These tools are designed to create meaningful, sustainable change that continues far beyond the retreat itself.
Recognising that many people with demanding professional lives, as well as private individuals and families, may not have the time, privacy or flexibility to step away from their lives and travel to a traditional retreat, they have created a different kind of retreat, one that comes to you and meets people where they are, from the boardroom to the privacy of their own home.
Through immersive retreats, executive programmes, sound, coaching and practical wellbeing tools, The Avalon Sanctuary creates a space to step away from the noise.
Our experiences invite a return to what matters, bringing greater purpose to the way we live and work.
