With elements of hillwalking, yoga & foraging, our focus is on wellbeing & connection. £75 pp.About this EventWe are delighted to invite you to join us for a one day nature-focussed getaway on the shores of Loch Ard. Having grown up in these hills, we would like to share what makes this place so special and enable you to share our joy in spending time in these landscapes. Moving our bodies in the outdoors, exposing ourselves to wind and to water, and eating wild food has led us to find a life-long happiness and passion in Scotland’s wild places. We want to share that knowledge with you and leave you feeling rejuvenated and impassioned after spending a day with us exploring, unwinding, and reconnecting. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/ba0296b0-4dd5-11f0-a985-8fd66d6cbfb2-rimg-w987-h740-dc788baf-gmir.jpg Movement Workshop​​​We will start with a one-hour movement session which focusses on warming up for the day ahead. This session will be based on yoga, as well as the meshing of body and spirit, and does not require any prior yoga knowledge or yoga ability. We will flow and gently stretch our bodies to prepare for the day ahead, beginning with some mindfulness in a beautiful space overlooking the loch.Hill Walking​​​​​​​​We will spend a few hours walking in the foothills around the loch, following streams and forests gently sloping uphill. The focus of our hillwalk won’t necessarily be to reach the summits, instead, we will enjoy moving through the landscape and looking at our surroundings from a new, elevated perspective. Breathing in the mountain air and learning to understand the topography, this element of the day is not just about becoming comfortable in the mountains, it will also give you a grounding in moving through the hills so that you can enjoy exploring this terrain independently in the future.Herb and Plant LoreAs we move through the landscape, we will draw your attention to the edible and medicinal flora and fauna around you. We may gather some of these plants to add to our foraged feast, and will share with you some of the folklore that both these plants and the land we grew up in are steeped in. Not only do many Scottish plants have both nutritious and health-giving qualities, may of them also have their own folk tales – some of which we will tell over the course of the day.Wild SwimmingMore of a ‘dook’ than a swim, you will have the opportunity to cool off in the loch right outside the doors of our venue. Whether you want to get fully submerged or just go for a paddle, this is a chance to enjoy some of the well-known health benefits of cold water, with the promise of nearby cake & tea to follow. This element of the day is entirely optional ,so don’t worry if this isn’t your cup of tea. You can relax by the water and take in the beautiful views from the safety of the shore.A Foraged FeastLater in the day, we will enjoy an afternoon tea of various foraged elements – think cake, cordials and preserves! As well as some hand-mixed herbal tea. We will share some of the recipes with you and demonstrate our knowledge and approach to local foraging having grown up picking our own food in the forests around Loch Lomond.Herbal Tea RitualTo finish this experience, you will be guided through a herbal tea ceremony. You will hear about the holistic uses and benefits of various herbs and ingredients while sampling a handmade and freshly brewed health-giving tea. Each group member will then each get to make their own special tea mix or herbal bath blend that you can take home with you. We will finish the day by guiding you to set individual intentions over each of your personal creations. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/ba2dc560-4dd5-11f0-a985-8fd66d6cbfb2-rimg-w493-h740-dc181914-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ba5cc4a0-4dd5-11f0-a985-8fd66d6cbfb2-rimg-w555-h740-dcc3d9eb-gmir.jpg The easiest way to book is at our website.
