🌲 What is a Scottish Fusion Retreat?
Lowland Fusion Retreat (LFR) and Highland Fusion Retreat (HFR) are each a long weekend getaway for dancers, creatives, and community-seekers who want more than just a party.
It’s three nights spent in a heated lodge near the Scottish woods.
It’s shared vegetarian meals, late-night fusion dancing, skill-sharing, story-swapping, firelight singing (weather permitting), and a little pocket of gentleness away from the world.
We co-create the retreat together — there are no staff, just participants. Everyone chips in and contributes a little: offering a dance class, a jam session, help in the kitchen, or just showing up wholeheartedly.
It’s not about being the best dancer or having it all together.
It’s about connection. Expression. Rest. Belonging.

✨ What’s included?
Your ticket covers:
• 3 nights of accommodation in shared dorm-style rooms
• 3 vegetarian meals a day, plus shared snacks and drinks
• 3 late-night fusion dance parties
community-run skill shares (past sessions include massage, life drawing, improvised storytelling, cheese tasting, breathwork, and dance classes)

Just bring yourself, your bedding, and whatever you’d like to offer or enjoy.

🧡 Who is it for?
Scottish Fusion Retreats are for anyone who:
• Loves dancing as a way to connect (no need to be a pro!)
• Values community, softness, mutual care, and co-creation
• Feels at home in queer-inclusive spaces
• Wants a weekend that feels like coming back to life
Whether you’re a seasoned fusion dancer or a curious first-timer, you’re welcome.

🪵 So what actually happens?
Each day at LFR has a gentle rhythm:
• Mornings: Breakfast, then volunteer-led skill shares, which can take any form the community embraces
• Afternoons: Lunch, more skill shares, time to nap
• Evenings: Dinner followed by a 6+ hour fusion dance party with volunteer DJs and occasional live performances
• When the weather supports us: Walks in the woods, singing around the campfire
Everyone is invited to offer something, and we encourage at least a couple of volunteer shifts to help us cook and clean, but no one is ever forced to give more than they have available.
You can give what energy you have to share, and take what you need to restore it.

💚 Our Community Values
-Inclusion
Regardless of background, identity, circumstance, or experiences, everyone is welcome at the table and their needs accommodated within our power.
-Respect
Respect for personal boundaries and individuality is fundamental. Interactions are guided by kindness and consideration.
-Participation
We create space for participants to initiate their own magic. Our event is community led and is best when we all commit to the experience.
-Expression
We embrace free flowing ideas and share what we have that is unique. We are authentic without fear of judgement, and support each other in the experiences we create.
-Connection
As good dancers, we actively seek connection with one another and let our event be a conversation. We build bonds through our activities and break bread with friends new and old.**
-Volunteering
The event relies on the collective efforts of everyone, with each participant contributing within their abilities and available energy. Volunteering is essential to making our events happen.
-Borrowed Places
We respect the environment and those who share it with us, committing to leave no trace. As guests, we treat the space and our neighbours with care and gratitude.
-Safer Spaces
We abide by a code of conduct that ensures everyone’s safety and well-being. Clear communication, consent, and boundaries keep our community healthy.
-Care for Each Other
We have a culture of care and compassion. We look out for one another and remain conscious of each other’s needs.
-Care for Yourself
"Treat yourself as you would treat others." We maintain awareness of our own well-being and practice self-care. Remember to rest, eat, and drink water.
