in the Scottish Highlands
August 25 - September 1, 2024
Stepping onto the castle gardens with your steaming cup of morning coffee, you feel the stirrings of inspiration as the first light of day paints the sky with hues of pink and gold while the wee robin redbreast greets you with her melodic song.
A smile spreads across your face as you reflect on yesterday’s experience by the magical faery pools surrounded by the lush greenery of the Scottish highlands. Yesterday, you crafted a whole new story inspired by the enchanting lands and ancient stories of the castle with a heart-warming sense of ease, making you wonder if the fairies themselves whispered the words in your ear.
“Wow, did I really write that?” you marvel as you review the words on the page of your notebook while the delicious smell of breakfast cooking in the castle kitchen tickles your nose. You finally feel like your creativity has found its voice.
After a revitalizing yoga session that awakens every cell in your body, you share laughter around the breakfast table with your new friends who are just as eager about the day's writing workshops and fun adventures around Scotland.

“I chose this retreat because it was a safe chance to travel out of the country by myself.
It was so beautifully put together every detail was intentionally planned and curated. I realized how much of a writer I actually am! I am a lot more confident in my writing abilities. I also felt a lot more in-tuned and centered with myself.
Amazing time! Trust me! Very much worth it! Ari is amazing, you won’t regret it!”

"Much more than just a yoga and writing retreat!
I was looking for a break from the daily grind. I hadn't traveled for many years and was looking for something inspiring and different.
I chose this retreat because it included two of my favourite things: yoga and writing, and it was in a Castle!!
It was a beautiful experience all around. I left with many writing tips and inspiration. I also left feeling invigorated, connected to life again and incredibly blessed to have been a part of the wonderful community we formed.
This trip is about more than writing and Yoga, be ready to be inspired and reconnected to yourself and life. It was magical.”
