SCOTLAND RETREAT

May 18th — 22nd 2026

GROW

Join me for GROW - a four night retreat in my homeland of the Scottish Highlands, where you can expect grounding yoga practices in a woodland tipi, walks in the forest or Cairngorm mountain hikes, dips in nearby rivers and lochs and woodland saunas.

  • Join me in the forest. Held by the surrounding landscape of ancient pine trees, we will practice in a large woodland tipi, our feet close to the Earth.

    Expect grounding somatic and yoga practices, walks in the woodlands or surrounding Cairngorm mountains, dips in nearby rivers or lochs and woodland saunas.

  • Our daily practices will guide us to become aware of how we exist in relationship; observing how we relate to ourselves, the world around us, and each other.

    Deepen your connection to your internal environment through a growing appreciation for how it co-exists in harmony with our external environment.

    Spend time nurturing yourself in community and through connection.

  • Create space for yourself to reflect on the way that we feel and the way that we show up for ourselves and in the world when we are anchored in embodied awareness and grounded in intention.

    Observe the small shifts that often occur in our bodies and minds when we create enough time to slow down and witness ourselves with daily practices that support this.

  • In between every phase of breath, there is a moment of stillness that expands time, where we are held in space before falling back to Earth. Embodiment widens time and possibilities when we give our attention to it; expanding into the infinite possibility of spaciousness that exists within us when we stop to allow it.

    Create the time and space for yourself to come back to your roots, connect, witness and widen.

GROW is an acronym from the incredible book ‘Returning Home to Our Bodies’ by Abigail Rose Clarke.

Join me in my beautiful homeland in the North East of Scotland.

This retreat is held near Aviemore. The beautiful woodland venue is nestled into the largest remaining piece of ancient Pine Forest.
