Come Home to Yourself in the Heart of the Highlands
There was a time when I kept pretending I was fine — until my body gently, and then not so gently, asked me to stop.
When I finally slowed down, it was Scotland that held me.
The mountains.
The quiet.
The water.
The wildness.
​
Something in me softened here in a way I didn’t even realise I needed.
If you’ve ever felt the same — tired, stretched, quietly craving spaciousness — this retreat was created for you.
And due to the beautiful response to our Scotland offering, we’re returning for extra dates in October 2026.
Why 11 Spaces?
The retreat is intentionally limited to 11 guests.
In numerology, 11 is the number of intuition, awakening, and new beginnings.
It symbolises listening inward, trusting your knowing, and stepping gently into the next chapter of your life.
This number chose itself — and it guides the intention of the retreat:
small, intimate, grounded, and deeply transformational.

*We’re Still Crafting the Full Itinerary…
But You Can Expect:**
​
Wild Swimming in Loch Goil
An empowering, soul-awakening practice.
Cold-water immersion supports resilience, mood, clarity, and nervous-system restoration —
but more than that, it reconnects you with your strength and aliveness.
It’s optional, but many describe it as the most memorable moment of the retreat.
​
Life Path Numerology for Self-Discovery
You’ll explore your life path number, a gentle numerology tool that offers insight into your patterns, gifts, and direction.
It’s not predictive — it’s reflective.
A way to understand yourself more deeply and feel guided from within.
​
Woodland Hikes & Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing)
Slow, intentional time in the ancient woodlands surrounding the estate.
Shinrin-Yoku is known to reduce stress hormones, stabilise mood, boost immunity, and deepen connection to the natural world. It’s a grounding, sensory practice that invites you back into your body.
​
Movement, Rest & Nervous-System Care
Soft morning practices, restorative evenings, breathwork, stillness, journaling, and spacious time to simply be.
​
Chai Workshop
Learning a bit of history behind chai/tea culture and the spices used. We'll delve in to the healing properties of each spice and all will be on hand to smell & taste. We'll toast the spices, blend them and brew them to make a warming chai to enjoy with some Jeera Cookies (Roasted Cumin Shortbread). A chance to all relax, connect and simply enjoy a good cuppa.
Wellbeing Support
You'll blend and create a woodland body oil that can support stress relief & emotional balance.

Who This Retreat Is For | This retreat is for you if your body is tired.
If your mind is busy.
If your soul is craving stillness and something gentler.
If you feel the pull toward nature, connection, and quiet reset.
You don’t need to be “fine.”
You don’t need to arrive perfect or prepared.
You just need to arrive as you are.
