When did you last make space to just be with what is?

This is a retreat for women who are ready to pause. To step off the treadmill of optimising and achieving and just breathe. To remember what waits for you when you finally stop moving long enough to feel what's underneath.

Six elements that make this retreat different

🧘‍♀️

Morning Yoga

Start each day with Tina's gentle, grounding practice. All levels welcome — this is about connection, not performance.

💬

Work with Ali

Three sessions over four days. The deep work that doesn't happen in a 50-minute call. Time to go in.

🍽

Fully Catered

Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. A fully stocked pantry. Food that nourishes, unhurried evenings at the table.

🌊

Highland Adventures

A guided walk with views to Schiehallion, a sunset evening at the HotBox spa, paddleboarding on Loch Tay, the WildEmber Bothy sauna — each day has its own adventure.

🏡

Private Lodge

Seventeen acres of Perthshire grounds. Hot tub. Red squirrels. The kind of quiet you can't manufacture.

👥

Small Group

Maximum 15 women. Carefully considered. What's said in the lodge stays in the lodge.

Farleyer Lodge — a sanctuary

🏰

The Lodge

Nine enormous en-suite bedrooms. Drawing rooms with open fires. A dining room that seats 20. The kind of Scottish country house you dream about.

🌲

17-Acre Grounds

Rolling lawns, mixed woodland, red squirrels, and views across to the hills. An 8-person hot tub overlooking the valley. Room to breathe.

📍

Perfect Location

Two miles from the highland town of Aberfeldy. One hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Deep in Perthshire but still accessible.

Your room

All rooms are en-suite with beautiful Highland views. Some have king beds, others twins that can be configured as super-kings. Room allocation is first-come, first-served based on deposit order.

Make the most of Scotland

Extend your time

Scotland rewards those who linger. We're happy to help you plan more.

Edinburgh

Scotland's capital is 1.5 hours from Aberfeldy — one of Europe's most beautiful cities. The Old Town, Arthur's Seat, the castle. Worth a day before or after.

St Andrews

Ancient university town on the North Sea. Cathedral ruins, the Old Course, cobbled streets and some of the finest seafood in Scotland. About 2 hours east.

East Neuk of Fife

The jewel of the east coast — Elie, Pittenweem, Anstruther. Whitewashed harbours, the Ship Inn on the rocks, golden beaches. One of Scotland's best-kept secrets.

Everything you need
to know — practically

Getting there

Fly into Edinburgh (EDI) or Glasgow (GLA). Aberfeldy is 1.5–2 hours by road. We can help coordinate transfers from both airports — just ask.

What to pack

Layers. Then more layers. In Scotland in September you can genuinely get all four seasons in a single afternoon. Trainers are fine for the walks. A waterproof is your best friend.

Water activities

All wetsuits and buoyancy aids provided for paddleboarding and canoeing. For the HotBox and Loch Tay activities — just bring yourself and a towel.

Food & drink

Fully catered breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout. Stocked pantry. Please share any dietary needs when you book and they will be accommodated.

Yoga

Morning practice with Tina each day. No experience needed — all levels welcome. Mats provided. Wear something comfortable.

The group

This is a small, private group. Spaces are very limited. What's said in the lodge stays in the lodge — all sessions are confidential by nature.
