“This 1:1 retreat was everything I needed and so much more. Every part of the experience was thoughtfully tailored to me, creating a calm, centred, and deeply peaceful environment where I could truly relax, reset, and reconnect with myself. 

Set on the beautiful shores of Lochcarron the scenery was simply breathtaking. Each day started with peaceful morning meditation which set the intention. The retreat included stunning mountain walks, a deeply restorative sound bath in the picturesque Isle of Skye, an uplifting 5 Rhythms dancing session and Qi Gong. Every activity complemented the next, helping me feel more grounded, present, and connected to myself. Kate also provided me with the tools to continue practicing once I’d left. 

Kate's gentle guidance is rooted in years of meditation practice and time spent in monasteries, and her depth of knowledge and calm presence shine through in everything she does. She creates a safe, nurturing space that allows you to slow down, be fully present, and simply be with no expectation- as she reiterated: there were no rules.

One of the most magical moments was spending time by the loch outside her beautiful home, watching the stillness of the water, where herons and even a seal passed us by. Being surrounded by such incredible nature made the whole experience even more grounding.

During my stay I ate delicious food- fresh, nourishing, and nutritious—and every meal was prepared with love and care. Kate hosts with generosity and I felt truly looked after. 

I left this experience feeling calmer, lighter, and with a renewed sense of balance, clarity, and wellbeing. This was a truly personalised retreat that met me exactly where I was, and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you. “ Polly Mau 2026

Would you like to step out of your daily life…

And spend some time tending your fire?

Perhaps you feel that it is no longer burning. But there will be an ember in there. Somewhere.

Time in the ashes refers to time spent beside the fire, tending that ember, free from your usual chores.

Time in the ashes could follow a period of burnout, a journey of grief, a period of ill health or to gently fan a spiritual flame.

I have learnt the art of retreat. And can tailor some time for you to step out of your daily duties, the roles you play, the obligations you hold. You will be fed and watered. You can rest. With some daily sessions of movement, sound and meditation to help ignite that fire.

All retreats are 1:1. They can support time alone in meditation or lean toward more structured days with sessions to suit - tailored to personal need.
