Have you ever thought about taking just one week for yourself? In Scotland?! In full and demanding lives, it’s easy to move from one responsibility to the next without ever pausing long enough to hear yourself think. Over time, that constant momentum can leave little room for reflection, creativity, or simply being with what’s present. This retreat offers a calm, supportive environment to step away from routine and create space for yourself again.
Over six days in the Scottish countryside, join a small group of women through an experience designed around reflection, presence, and ease. With time for journaling, quiet conversation, nature, and rest, you’ll have the freedom to slow down, gain perspective, and reconnect with what feels meaningful, at your own pace.
Hosted by Lorraine Blair, former Chief Talent Officer and Executive Vice President turned certified coach, join like-minded women as you step into a calm, unhurried environment designed for reflection and creative renewal. In this peaceful setting, you’ll have the opportunity to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself, without pressure, expectation, or the need to be anything other than exactly where you are.
6 Days
Day 1: Arrival & Settling In
Arrive at the farmhouse in the village of Kippen and ease into the week ahead. You’ll be welcomed with light refreshments, time to unpack, and space to land after your journey. The evening is intentionally unstructured, allowing you to relax, connect quietly with fellow guests, and begin to unwind. A private chef will prepare a nourishing dinner to be enjoyed together as the group settles into the calm of the countryside.
Day 2: Grounding & Gentle Rhythm
The day begins with a slow morning of yin yoga, breathwork, and extended relaxation to support grounding and presence. After a relaxed brunch, you’ll have the freedom to choose between a reset-style wellness talk with Sarah or quiet creative space for writing and reflection. Optional massage sessions are available in the afternoon for those who wish to deepen physical relaxation. The evening concludes with another beautifully prepared dinner at the farmhouse, shared family-style.
Day 3: Loch Ness & Highland History
After a light breakfast, you’ll be chauffeured through the Highlands for a full-day excursion to Loch Ness and surrounding villages. This is a day for history, folklore, and taking in the landscape at an unhurried pace. On the return journey, the group will gather for dinner at a historic pub, enjoying local food and the atmosphere of the region before returning to Kippen.
Day 4: Creativity & Culinary Experience
Following a gentle morning yoga and relaxation session and a late brunch, the afternoon is dedicated to a guided writing and journaling workshop. This session offers space for reflection, creativity, and personal insight without pressure or expectation. In the evening, you’ll take part in a hands-on cooking class with the private chef, preparing a seasonal meal together before sitting down to enjoy it as a group.
Day 5: Callander & Closing Evening
The day begins with breakfast at the farmhouse before setting out for a relaxed visit to Callander. You’ll have time to wander, explore local shops, and enjoy lunch or tea at your own pace. In the evening, the group reconvenes at the farmhouse for a closing dinner prepared by the private chef, offering space to reflect, connect, and gently bring the retreat to a close.
Day 6: Farewell & Departure
After breakfast, departures begin. Guests leave honouring the quiet, personal nature of the retreat and allowing each woman to carry the experience forward in her own way.

Mid-September in Scotland can feel mild during the day and cool in the mornings and evenings. Bring a waterproof jacket and comfortable walking or hiking shoes suitable for damp paths. Layering is key. Think light long sleeves, a warm sweater or knit, and one insulating layer for evenings. Yoga attire will be perfect indoors. For daily excursions, breathable layers with a waterproof outer layer will keep you comfortable while exploring forests, lochs, and historic villages. For dinners, Scotland in September invites relaxed elegance. Dresses with boots, cozy knits, or anything that makes you feel confident and comfortable will fit beautifully. The truth about Scotland is this: it is less about “cold” and more about “changeable.” The weather has personality. If you’re layered and waterproofed, you’re golden. And honestly, September light in Scotland is something else. Soft, golden, slightly cinematic. It feels like a retreat before you even start.
Meals are included when we are at the Farmhouse. On the two days we are taking day trips, we will coordinate restaurants to eat at, but these are not included in the price of the retreat to allow for flexibility in menu choices.
