Còsagach: the Scottish word for comfort.
This is a retreat unlike any other; with two retreat options to choose from and Mandie Roberts as your highly experienced tour guide; you will be immersed in the magical country of Scotland with an emphasis on slow living. This won't be a non stop, action packed tour; it will be a relaxing experience with set aside time for barefoot walks in the forests, meditation at historic standing stones, off the beaten path locations, yoga, journaling, foraging and connecting. Mostly, this is a retreat focus on healing, finding yourself and sisterhood. Get lost in Scotland with Thistle and Pine; this is your sign.
Meet Your Host: Mandie Roberts
Mandie splits her time between the United Kingdom and the US as a wedding and portrait photographer. Being married to a Brit and having a transatlantic family means she knows the ins and outs of Scottish culture. She loves reading, a good cup of coffee and wine, cooking vegetarian fare, the finer things in life and long walks.
As a lover of magic, she wants to incorporate the mysticism and history of Scotland into every trip she takes. Mingling with the locals and screaming the lyrics to Loch Lomond while driving her attendees around scenic Scotland is when she feels like life is a fairytale.
If this is your first time in Scotland or you are returning once more, you are in good hands with Mandie.
Two Retreats; Six Attendees; Once in a lifetime.
With two back to back retreats to choose from; the possibilities are endless. These retreats will have loose timelines to encourage spontaneity and relaxation at beautiful and nearly dreamlike homes tucked away from busy cities. Each attendee will receive a relaxation kit, nearly gourmet home cooked meals (Mandie is a home chef!); and unique experiences that immerse you into Scottish culture. No need to worry about transportation; Mandie is an experienced Scotland driver and will get you where we are going safely.
