COME AS YOU ARE

Rooted in safety.
Wild with possibility.

A women’s retreat in Scotland for movement, connection, exploration and space to pause... at your own pace.

Women together beside a Scottish lake

Step away from the demands of everyday life. Reconnect with yourself and experience Scotland in the company of supportive, like-minded women.

Through movement, nature, connection and stillness, Wild & Rooted brings two energies together: the fluidity of the loch and the steadiness of the mountain.

There is no version of yourself you need to become here. Just space to be yourself, connect with others and choose what feels right for you.

You'll have opportunities to practice yoga, hike through the Scottish landscape, swim in the loch, explore castles, villages, and experience Scottish culture, learn about your patterns, create, reflect and spend time with other women. Some experiences will invite you outward. Others will invite you to pause and notice what's happening within.

NOTHING TO PROVE

You get
to choose.

You don’t have to hike the highest mountain, swim in the coldest loch, or constantly push beyond your comfort zone.

It might mean trying something new. Or it might mean taking a nap. Hiking through the Scottish countryside. Or sitting beside the loch with a cup of tea.

Your body gets a vote.

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

There's no one way to be.
All of you belongs here.

Rest matters.

A GLIMPSE OF WILD & ROOTED

The loch. The mountains.
The space between.

The space between doing and resting.
The space between solitude and connection.
The space between familiar and new.
The space between listening and responding.
