THE EXPERIENCE
Six days of movement, stillness, connection and exploration. A gentle rhythm, with space to follow what feels right for you.
AT YOUR OWN PACE
Some experiences invite you outward. Others invite you to pause and notice what’s happening within.
This is an example of the rhythm, rather than a fixed schedule. Plans may change with the Scottish weather and the needs of the group.
Nothing is mandatory.
Every activity is an invitation.
Yoga, breath and grounding. Wake up slowly.
A nourishing start and time to connect.
Experiential learning and practical stress-management tools to build lasting resilience.
Fresh food, shared stories, a moment to pause.
A guided hike, a swim, creativity, a village - or your book and a quiet corner.
Come back together around the table.
A fire circle, sound bath or yin yoga.
Each day offers a mix of included activities you can choose from, along with optional add-on experiences to make the retreat your own.
MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
There's no pressure to participate in every activity. Choose what feels right for you, whether that's exploring, joining a practice, or taking time to rest.
*One evening’s restaurant meal at a nearby village restaurant is at your own cost. Final meal arrangements will be confirmed before the retreat.
Your retreat includes plenty of opportunities to explore Scotland, from the beautiful Loch Lomond area, with possible visits to Stirling, Balmaha, Conic Hill, Luss, RSBP Loch Lomond Bird Preserve, and Drymen but some of the best and most memorable moments will likely be from our time at the Ardoch estate, building lasting friendships and restoring from our busy lives.
If you’d like to venture farther afield, there may also be opportunities to join an
optional guided excursion or tour to places such as Glencoe or Edinburgh and include
activities such as puffin-watching cruise, castle tours, exploring a professional
royal garden, a Neolithic site visit, pony trekking, ferry rides, bike or
paddleboard rental, spa treatments and stress-management coaching.a0
These extended adventures are not included in the retreat price and would be offered as optional add-ons or independent free time ideas, subject to availability and final pricing. This keeps the price lower and the pace slower for anyone not interested.
You’ll have the ease of choosing from pre-planned experiences without needing to organize every detail yourself. Group tours depend on sufficient interest.
The following are also not included in the retreat price:
Beyond the keepsakes you'll be gifted from Wild & Rooted and the souvenirs you'll find along the way, you may discover something even more meaningful: practical tools for understanding your body's stress responses, finding moments of grounding, and bringing what resonates into everyday life.
Imagine returning home feeling…
More connected to your body, with a better sense of how to listen to what you need.
More expressive, with space for your voice, emotions, and creativity.
More whole, making room for both your softness and your strength.
More alive, with a renewed sense of curiosity, adventure, and play.
More connected to others through genuine conversations and shared experiences with women who just get it.
More in tune with your own rhythm, finding space for both activity and rest, structure and spontaneity.
And perhaps, simply, more like yourself.
Not because Scotland will change you, but because stepping outside your everyday life may create space to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been waiting for your attention.

Retreat Cancellation Due to Low Enrollment
Wild & Rooted reserves the right to cancel the retreat if fewer than 12 participants have registered by the enrollment deadline. If we must cancel for this reason, all payments made toward your retreat will be fully refunded, including your deposit. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method, and participants will be notified as soon as the decision is made. We are not responsible for additional expenses incurred by participants, including airfare, travel insurance, or other travel arrangements, so we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that offers appropriate protection.
