Wild Weekend
Join us for a rugged adventure at Torridon.
A magical and rugged location nestled amongst an old Caledonian pine forest at the foot of the famous mountain ‘Beinn Alligin’.
I invite you to come on this retreat with an open mind, ready to enjoy the simple things in life that we forget to appreciate and, hopefully, my enthusiasm for Scotland’s rugged, challenging and inspiring landscape will rub off on you!
This retreat has all the nourishing elements available at all of our retreats, with the added extra of a mountain day.
This retreat is for you if you want to relax and learn but also push yourself a little and enjoy the breathtaking views on top of Torridon’s finest Summits.
Yaz, who is also a Summer Mountain Leader, will guide a hill day during the 4-day retreat. The reward of coming back to a cosy cottage and enjoying a feast and evening yoga, perhaps even a session in the hot tub for tired muscles, is well worth the effort.
Note, this retreat is a wild women affair - see our mixed gender retreats HERE...and sign up to our newsletter for updates on retreat dates as soon as they are released.

There is a large kitchen which is great for entertaining and a living room with a cosy fireplace. There is wifi access as well as TV/DVD and a laundry room with washer and dryer and outdoor hot tub.

Surrounded by woodland, fields and old fruit trees, Gardeners Cottage provides a peaceful location for your holiday. There are three bedrooms, all of which can be double or twin rooms, allowing a comfortable cottage for six guests. The cottage has one bathroom with shower and bath. A spacious kitchen with all the kitchen equipment required for self-catering, as well as large living area with a fireplace. Enjoy a sea and mountain view from the outdoor seating area or hot tub in the garden. Well behaved pets are welcome, but an extra fee may apply. Wifi access, TV, DVD and speakers provided.
We recommend the following:
- Movement - sports kit and trainers. You will be able to dry things but best to have extra sports kit if possible. Hiking boots if you feel more comfortable in them for a walk but not essential- I am always in my trail runners.
- Waterproofs and warm layers!!
- Swim kit and towel for some cold water dooking - it could be useful to bring booties or crocs.
- Yoga/Pilates - Sarah and Eve bring all that you need, however if you are attached to a matt then by all means bring it. Same applies to a nice blanket and then comfy clothes for yoga.

Where you'll stay
Our Glenlivet Retreat has a variety of accommodation options to suit - pitch up camping is included in the cost, or you can book a stay at onsite glamping or the luxury holiday cottage for an additional cost.
Camping is a great way to fully connect to your environment - there is something so special about heading back to your tent in the evening, all lit up and waking up in nature with the natural light of the season. On arrival, we will help you pitch your tents and settle in. If you are missing some kit, we will be able to source this for you.
All campers/glampers will have full access to indoor shower, bath and toilet, with a composting toilet outside. We also have our sauna, hand - built by Zeki.
