Women's Healing Retreat Scotland 2026 — Scottish Highlands Energy Healing with Meredith Sloane
A Summer Solstice Retreat · Scottish Highlands · June 2026
What if the most radical thing you did this year… WAS SLOW DOWN?
A sacred gathering for women ready to return to themselves.
The Long Exhale is a five-day women’s gathering in the Scottish Highlands.
JUNE 19TH-24TH 2026
The Land
The Magic of Scotland
Scotland’s bones are made of myth, stone, and the pulse of the unseen. From Neolithic cairns to standing stones, this land has always been a living altar. At Solstice — when the sun lingers and the veil grows thin — it opens even wider.
Alba — the ancient Gaelic name for Scotland — means bright, mountain-lit. This is a land of light and lineage. A field of remembering where bodies soften into presence and the nervous system finally exhales.
To walk here at Solstice is to step into a portal.
You don’t just arrive. You return.
The Land
Connect Deeply to Nature.
Where the Earth Breathes You Back
A place where Solstice light, forest, and river recalibrate your entire being.
Moving at the Speed of Soil & Soul
Here, the pace is ancient. Here, joy lives in moss and mist. Here, you return to the rhythm your body has never forgotten.
Silence as Ceremony
We walk in silence. We sit by the fire. We listen to what the wind says when no one's speaking.
The Body Remembers the Way
And by the time we leave… we are no longer the same women who arrived.
It's not a retreat you attend
it's a remembering.
A place where your nervous system finally exhales. Here, forest, river, Solstice light realign your being. Here your body remembers the gentle pulse it once knew.
Reserve Your SpotThe Experience
Return to the Wild.
In the Scottish Highlands, the land hums with old magic. The stones remember. The rivers whisper songs older than language.
This isn't just nature — it's ancestral medicine. A place where women come not to escape, but to return — to the body, to the earth, to the knowing that lives beneath the noise.
Among the heather and pine, in the shadow of mountains shaped by myth, you are invited to lay it all down.
And be remade
by the wild.

Connect deeply to nature.
Allow your nervous system to slow down as you ground and reconnect with Earth pace.

Here, the veil between worlds feels thin—each moss-covered root, each breath of mist, a portal back to something primal. This isn’t just nature; it’s ancestral medicine. A place where women come not to escape, but to return—to the body, to the earth, to the knowing that lives beneath the noise.

Where You'll Stay & What You'll Eat
Beautiful Accommodations & Nourishing Food
Sacred Dwellings for the Modern Mystic
Built in the 1800s on over 25 acres of ancient Highland land, Pityoulish House is a lovingly restored private estate — where ancestral energy meets modern comfort. In 2024 it was honored by the BBC as Scotland's Home of the Year.
Eight unique bedrooms, each with its own en suite, designed for privacy and the rare luxury of being truly held. Expect forest views. Expect quiet. Expect red squirrels in the trees and the sudden hush when a golden eagle passes overhead.
A sunken garden, forest paths, and 1.5 miles of private riverbank along the Spey — including 15 named and storied pools.
Here, you're not just accommodated.
You're remembered.
Nourishment from the Inside Out
A private chef will prepare seasonal, soul-nourishing meals throughout the retreat — warm, grounding, and abundant.
This is food that feeds your body and your becoming.
