Return to Centre - A Spring Retreat
We Welcome You
Join Gillian and Emma (Root and Gather) to step into the energy of Spring — a season of renewal, possibility, and becoming. Over two nourishing nights, we gather together to slow down, connect inward, and plant the seeds of intention that will carry us through the months ahead.
Together we will journey through practices that awaken and restore our vitality:
A Weekend to Root, Restore & Realign
Step into the energy of Spring, a time to anchor, to slow down, and to reconnect with life’s simple pleasures. This time encourages us to savour the senses, find space and security in our bodies, and plant intentions that are grounded, realistic, and nourishing.
Join us at Claggan Farmhouse, a hillside sanctuary overlooking Loch Tay, where nature, ceremony, and rest meet to support your personal renewal.
The Energy of May in Nature
In May, nature hums with quiet, fertile energy. The air is warmer, the earth soft beneath your feet, and every hillside and woodland awakens with vibrant green and the scent of early blooming flowers. Rivers and lochs shimmer with spring light, inviting reflection and stillness. It’s a time when life feels tender yet strong, urging us to grow, root, and open gently to new possibilities. The world is abundant, and the rhythm of the season calls us to align with its steady, nourishing pulse — to breathe deeply, to notice the small joys, and to plant seeds that will flourish in the months ahead.
-
Reassess what truly makes us feel secure, comfortable, and fulfilled.
-
Slow down and embrace pleasure, rest, and the natural rhythms of life.
-
Connect deeply with our bodies and the earth.
-
Set intentions that are practical, grounded, and ripe for growth.
This energy is potent for planting seeds—big or small—that, nurtured over time, will blossom into tangible, rewarding changes in our lives.
