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...
The 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…)
Alex (Andy’s Man Club)I felt so energised
Wow, what an amazing experience! Yaz and her team have created something truly special and it was a privilege to spend the weekend with wonderful people in a stunning setting, eating wholesome and delicious food and taking part in amazing activities. (more…)
After embracing every activity on offer, I felt so energisedA retreat in nature and surrounded by genuine people
What can I say? I have no words to describe how wonderful weekend you organised. You and the team went the extra mile to makes us all feel welcome and part of the community. I do usually struggle a bit in social settings but I felt at ease. It was the perfect “me time escape” I could wish for. I came back home refreshed, energised and with a happiness I have not had for a long time (3 years to be precise). This retreat in nature and surrounded by genuine people had a magical effect on me.

If you only do one retreat, make it this one. Connect or Reconnect with the Scottish highlands in a fully immersive experience that does wonderful things for your soul. Something magical happens on these retreats, and no part of me is left untouched by the warmth, knowledge, and passion this collective of beautiful souls shares over the weekend. Don’t even think about it, GO!! Promise you’ll love it!!!

Andy’s Man ClubA renewed sense of purpose
Yaz’s Wilderness Wellbeing retreat was truly transformative for me. Before attending, I was struggling to come to terms with the car accident that had upended my life. The combination of physical activity, nature, the creative arts and deep mental health work offered at the retreat, helped me see things from a new perspective. (more…)
BenBeing part of the Wilderness Fit team has brought so much more to my life than I had expected. Yaz has created an environment in which the facilitators and the participants are not in a hierarchical structure, we are all on the same level and therefore those who contribute to the weekends benefit from the experience just as much. I struggle with my mental wellbeing on and off, as most people do, and these weekends have become my opportunity to reset. (more…)
