Women's Wellness & Nature Retreat in a Scottish Walled Garden

The retreat is entirely private. You'll have Fay's full attention for three days, with nine hours of facilitated one-to-one sessions woven into your stay. The work is a mix of shamanic healing, plant spirit connection, Reiki, and Qi Gong. This isn't coaching and it isn't therapy; it's a supported space to release what's ready to go and to listen to the wisdom your body and the natural world are offering. Fay has twenty-five years of experience, and her approach is grounded in creative shamanism, herbalism, and energy work. She trained in these practices and wrote three books on reconnecting with nature, all of which feed into how she works with you here.

The accommodation is part of the experience. You'll be glamping in an off-grid yurt, completely disconnected from Wi-Fi, surrounded by the sounds of birdsong and the wind in the trees. The yurt has a wood stove, fairy lights, and your own private shower room a short walk away in the garden. Meals are plant-based, home-cooked, and largely grown on site. You'll eat soups, salads, and dishes like roasted vegetable bake or sweet potato curry, all served in the garden or the cottage kitchen.

The location is stunning. The garden sits on the banks of the Firth of Forth in Fife, with views of the water from the property. You can walk along the coast, explore the 3.5 acres of gardens and woodland, or just sit by the sauna and watch the seals on the rocks. It's hard not to feel the shift in pace the moment you arrive. The retreat runs from Friday to Sunday or you can choose a 2-day or 4-5-day version, depending on what you need. Fay says women often arrive exhausted and leave feeling lighter, softer, and more like themselves than they have in years.
