What to Experience

COME HOME TO YOUR CREATIVE NATURE

A five-day artistic immersion in the Heart of Scotland.
This autumn creativity becomes a practice of remembering you. 

Through movement, art, nature, deep rest and heartfelt connection,
you gently peel away layers of expectation and rediscover the joy of creating.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Reconnect with your creative nature as you escape the noise of everyday life.
Day One

Arrive • PRESENCE

We begin by slowing down - landing in the body, connecting with the land, meeting one another. Together we open our circle with ceremony, intention, gentle movement and deep rest, allowing ourselves to arrive fully before anything asks to be created.

Day Two

DESCEND • STILLNESS

Supported by silence and the Scottish landscape, we'll wander ancient glens, gather inspiration from nature, and work with clay - the earth itself shaped in our hands. Through embodied practice and spacious creative exploration, we'll soften the mind and reconnect with our instinctive way of making.

Day Three

Feel • REFLECTION

Water invites reflection. A boat journey across Loch Lomond offers time to sketch, observe, breathe, and remember that nature is one of our greatest teachers. From there, we'll move into photography, journaling and emotional release practices, letting creativity emerge from honesty rather than perfection.

Day Four

PLAY • EXPRESSION

This day includes an Individual portrait session

As the week unfolds, something begins to shift. The inner critic quietens. Play returns. This day celebrates courage, joy and expression - movement, dance, fire, laughter - and space to be witnessed exactly as you playfully return to yourself.

Day Five

Integrate • Inspiration 

Our final day is one of colour, intuitive painting, voice and celebration. In our closing circle, we'll honour everything that has emerged throughout the week with mantras, breathwork and sharing. You leave not simply with artworks or photographs, but with a deeper relationship to your own creative nature - and practical ways to continue nurturing it when you return home.

Optional Extra night stay

A day at Chariclo

Wake slowly to birdsong and the morning light spilling across Loch Lomond and the mountains outside the window.

Journal with a warm cup of tea before joining the group for a nourishing seasonal breakfast.

Move your body through gentle movement and settle into quiet meditation.

Spend the day exploring wild landscapes, creating with your hands, swimming in fresh waters, gathering inspiration.

Enjoy sharing nourishing meals prepared by our in-house chef.

Read by the fireside.

Recharge in the wood-fired hot tub.

Watch the light change over the mountains.

As evening falls, gather around the fire with a group of women.

Some nights are more restful - filled with poetry, conversation and reflection.

Others become celebrations — with music, dance, laughter and song.

There is nowhere else you need to be.

  • "What an absolutely breathtaking experience in a stunning location. Sarah was the most amazing host. Providing such a nourishing space for creativity and relaxation. Drawing still life’s and life drawing in front of the breathtaking views of Loch Lomond brought me back to my creative process and made me a lot more fluid with my sketches. The outcomes were gorgeous and it was relaxing to reconnect with the creative process without any pressure. The weekend was 11 out of 10 experience which felt very heart felt and filled my cup back up. Sarah is such a wonderful, creative, facilitator and can’t thank her enough for holding such a beautiful space."

  • "The weekend at Chariclo, overlooking Loch Lomond, was a truly special experience, in a setting where time slows down and the mind is encouraged wander. Throughout the day the light would shift over the valley, creating a dramatic backdrop for our group of transient artists, observing and revelling in a rhythm of crayon, oil and pencil strokes. Sarah is a wonderful host. Each workshop opened another opportunity for play and experimentation. If you’re craving time to create with your hands, clear your mind and leave feeling reconnected and inspired, this Scottish escape is for you."
