Experience Profound Peace that Lasts

Immerse yourself in the ancient woodlands and peaceful shores of Loch Ness in the Highlands. 

During 8 days, we blend guided mindfulness workshops, forest bathing sessions, and earth element creative practices to help you reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

This time around we are introducing the very unique technique of crushed stone pigment hand painting, by our good friend Aiesha from Glasgow.

The vacation component of our retreat includes half-day and full-day outings to famous Scottish castles and magical places like the Isle of Skye, specifically the Fairy Pools.

It's a complete package designed to provide you with long-lasting memories, the potential to make new life-long friends, and take home nature-based stress management and wellness tools.

Open. Honest. Transformative.

We guarantee you’ll leave transformed—or we’ll refund our program fee.

Over the past seven years, Emma and I have had the joy of hosting more than 300 guests—practically from every continent except Antarctica. Folks have come from Belgium, Italy, Germany, Russia, India, Canada, Australia, Finland, Oman, Singapore… and we’ve guided them into the heart of selected forests across Europe. 

Every single person has come away transformed, rewarding us with 100% 5 star reviews. 

Catherine from Hawaii told us the week went “WAY beyond anything I could have imagined,” and Laila from Oman said she now sees the world through fresh eyes. Monique from Canada still laughs at our dad jokes and goofy family like fun, and Alessio from Italy calls the woodland experience “a true, welcoming paradise.”

Many have called our experience “life-changing.” This is a huge responsibility for us, the fact that what we offer makes such an impact on a person. That’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly, so we have continued perfecting our retreats.

We created daily themes, and stitch them together so that they gently build on one another—helping you evolve at your own pace but still ensuring that you will leave our time together with a refreshed mind, warm new friendships, and stories you’ll tell for years.

We’re so confident that we back our core program with a simple guarantee: if you don’t feel renewed by the end, we’ll refund our program fee—just cover retreat costs.
