Rewild Retreat

21 - 25 April 2025

  • our venue

    The Dell of Abernethy is the perfect place to escape from reality and retreat inwards. Unwind, stoke your fire, re-connect and breathe deep. Go barefoot on the lawn, sway in a hammock, and slow right down. Allow your ears to ring with silence amongst the trees. Make yourself at home and coorie in.

  • yoga in the woods

    The woodland tipi is the pièce de résistance of this retreat. Surrounded by the tall pine trees, we will breathe in the fresh forest air and listen to the birdsong as we practice yoga together.

  • location

    Located in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park on the edge of Nethy Bridge, ‘The Forest Village’ - a sleepy, friendly place reached by a short riverside walk or through the trails of the Abernethy Forest.

    Just one hour from Inverness airport, 20 mins from Aviemore train station and around 3 hours north of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • fireside chats

    Just next to the woodland tipi you will find a stunning stone fire pit - the ideal spot to toast some marshmallows, warm up your toes and have a heart-to-heart.

  • forest bathing

    Let the healing energy of the forest revive and rewild you as you are guided through a forest bathing session by our wonderful retreat assistant, Katie Taylor.

    Forest bathing is a slow walk through nature with some sensory exercises along the way, allowing our body and mind to slow down and breathe in the forest air. The benefits include reduced stress, reduced blood pressure, stronger immune system response and improved memory & concentration.

Imagine this…

Waking up slowly to the sound of birdsong in Spring, you look outside to see mountains, lochs and forests galore… Wide open space and peace & quiet to slow down. Start your morning with some mindful movement, followed by a warm cup of cacao and a nourishing brunch.

Take a wander through the woodland or plunge into the pristine water of Loch Garten for a swim before curling up in a hammock with your favourite book. After dinner, as the sun goes down, get ready for restorative yoga under the stars followed by fireside chats and s’mores. Each day on retreat brings a thoughtfully curated experience, from forest bathing and foraging to craft workshops and cold water immersion.

What our last guests said…

“I felt so taken care of and nourished whilst I was there which is something I just hadn’t really realised I had been missing and needing since having my son...”

“A heartfelt thank you for the most peaceful, nourishing experience I could ever have wished for. It was just perfect and exactly what I needed to recharge and reset.”

“It feels so so precious to be fed with nourishing food and words and guided through the most beautiful practices (and in such a peaceful gorgeous setting too).”
