Event Details:
This retreat is about slowing down and utilising nature. There is a big emphasis on food and foraging. You are, after all, in the home of Ghillie Basan. September is a fantastic season for foraging and the light is stunning and still long-lasting.
This is for you if you want to embark on an experience that feels real. You are invited to join the lifestyle of a humble family for just a long weekend, but what you will take away with you will be life-changing
Accommodation (camping with optional glamping), food and all activities are included in the cost.
Activities include:
Nature-based fitness sessions
Wild dooks in the Glen with my brother’s hand-crafted Sauna
Cooking over fire
Foraging
Yoga throughout the Weekend
Fermentation workshops and interactive learning

* Please note that alcohol (feel free to bring your own bottle) and massage* are not included in the cost.
* An optional extra for massage over the weekend. Our amazing therapist, Lulu, will be on-site at the weekend to deliver a range of treatments. This costs £50 for 1 hour of massage and needs to be added on at the time of booking.
Accommodation
Accommodation on this retreat is camping. If you do not wish to bring a tent and set up camp then there are a couple of luxury camping options available.
Yazzie’s Yurt
This is at an extra cost of £100 for the full stay. The yurt can sleep up to 4 people and has a stove we will provide wood for.
Zeki’s Cabin
This is at an extra cost of £100 for the full stay. The cabin can sleep 2 people and has a stove we will provide wood for.
Country Cottage
This is at an extra cost of £200 for the full stay. Our cosy holiday cottage on site is ideal for 3 and has a wood burning stove.
Don't forget you can bring your own set-up and we will help you pitch it and settle in on arrival.
You have full access to indoor shower/bath/toilet. We also have a sauna built by my brother that we will use over the weekend at our local rivers and fresh pools.
Food and Drink
All food will be provided over the retreat. I will be doing all the catering which will include warming hearty breakfast, packed lunches if we are out or a warm meal if on site and a nutritious dinner. I use local produce and game if the group wishes to eat local venison from the hill. There is a big emphasis on eating seasonally with the menu being mainly vegetarian. There will be the opportunity to get involved with recipe creation and learn about the nutritional value of foraged foods of the season and how to use them.
All dietary requirements are possible just let me know! Anything that we forage we will eat! I want each retreat to feel totally relaxed so if you enjoy a glass or two of red wine in the evening please feel free to bring some along or a dram as a wee night cap.
It was a weekend filled with warmth, cold -outdoor circuits and wild water swimming (or ‘dookin’ in my case), yoga, fires, hot tub foraging, pilates, and the most incredible food. I learned so much and came away relaxed, rejuvenated and inspired.

Lee CraigieYaz creates a nourishing environment in her own family home and with her talented cookery skills. Her food is incredibly tasty and nutritious. I feel more toned and less bloated than when I arrived which is an unexpected bonus!

Corinne ThomasTime stood still for me this weekend. I was a bit apprehensive coming to a retreat on my own but I did not need to worry as Yaz and her team gave us such a warm welcome.
The calming atmosphere was inspiring meeting so many strong women and learning from their disciplines (yoga, fermentation, strength training, pilates) and was definite highlight for me.
Corinne Thomas
