From the start, our vision has been to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where people from different walks of life can come together to share, learn, and support one another. Over the course of the year, our Wellbeing Weeks and Weekends have become much more than just retreats; they are living examples of what community care can look like.
In a time when so many are facing financial strain, loneliness, and the silent burden of poor mental health, these gatherings offer a different path: one rooted in connection, collaboration, and shared experience.
Cooking together, creating side by side in workshops, or simply sharing stories around the fire, participants rediscovered the strength of belonging.
For many, this sense of collective care was not only the most meaningful part of their time with us, but it was a reminder that healing can be accessible, communal, and deeply human.
Some words from our guests...
I took a lot of new practices not only from the workshops but the chats with fellow group members.
3 out of the 4 workshops I took part in I had never done before so learned from these and have already implemented them into my daily lifestyle and family life.
Learning new skillsJust firstly want to say that thank you doesn’t even cover it for having me part of the incredible weekend! You and your family are a powerhouse and so inspirational.
To try and articulate how the weekend impacted me is hard, but I’ll try! As you know, due to my TSW I’ve had a mad year and coming home from Thailand has been a challenge and a half, navigating my old life with its new rules dictated by my skin had got me in a dark place mentally and honestly I didn’t realise how much I’d isolated myself until coming to your home for the weekend! It was confronting in the best way possible to be out of my ‘safe space’ that I’d created for my skin to be ok, and suddenly out of control of the people I saw, the food I ate and the environment I was in.

It’s hard to describe how incredible a wilderness fitness retreat is, never mind adding the majestic Torridon into the mix!
Thank you so much, Yaz for creating something awesome. You nailed it!

An incredible wilderness fitness retreatThe first time I spoke with Yas I knew that not only was she creating something special at her retreat but the benefit that it would give some of our lads from ANDY’S MAN CLUB. I attended the first one with my colleague and both of us were very nervous about what to expect. Within minutes of entering the family home we were made to feel a part of the family straight away and that led to an amazing weekend of self discovery. (more…)
