meditation, somatic movement and sound  retreat in the Scottish Hebrides

What to Expect

Silence, Soma and Sound is an invitation to intimacy, reflection and stillness.

There will be days of silence, walks out into the land, freshly prepared meals that are light, local, satisfying and easy to digest. This is an emptying time and a resting time where your mind can slow down and there is little schedule and lots of space. 

We will co-create with the group but you can expect a morning and evening practice, a morning and evening meal, daily time in nature and lots of time to read, rest and be.

Location

We will gather on the Isle of Luing. A small, living island on the west coast of Scotland, held by the Inner Hebrides and the slow, ancient rhythms of the sea.

Our home for five nights will be WildLuing. You will sleep in one of eight luxury suites above Torsa Bay, where otters and seals move through the water below and the mountains of Argyll rise around you. Near Mull, just beyond Oban and the Gateway to the Isles, Luing is both reachable and genuinely apart — the kind of place where the land begins to speak and body begins to listen.

You will sleep in one of eight luxury pods which look out over Torsa Bay, nestled in the crook of the land, cocooned and also open to the winds and the waters. We will have our own private sauna and a light filled practice space where we will sit for daily meditation.

This is a place for gathering and for solitude, for retreat and for deep rest. Scotland has a way of calling us home to something older and wilder in ourselves. Luing is one of her quieter invitations and we will meet her on these terms. As we settle into the land we’ll drop into somatic movement, rest and sound.
