What if the most radical thing you did this year…

WAS SLOW DOWN?

The Long Exhale is a five-day long women’s gathering in the Scottish Highlands.

JUNE 19TH-24TH 2026

The Magic of Scotland

Scotland’s bones are made of myth, stone, and the pulse of the unseen. From Neolithic cairns to standing stones, from Pictish fire rites to Celtic pilgrim paths, this land has always been a living altar. And at Solstice—when the sun lingers and the veil grows thin—this sacred terrain opens even wider.

The name Scotland, born of Scotia and the ancient Gaelic Alba (bright, mountain-lit), speaks not only to place, but to memory. This is a land of light and lineage. Of sun and stillness. 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.

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.

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

In the Scottish Highlands, the land hums with old magic. The stones remember. The rivers whisper songs older than language. 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. 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.

Beautiful Accomodations & Delicious Nurturing Food

Sacred Dwellings for the Modern Mystic

Built in the 1800s and resting on over 25 acres of ancient Highland land, Pityoulish House has stood for centuries, quietly rooted in the rhythms of Scotland. Once a sacred Pictish site of ritual and wild grace, it is now 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, a reflection of its rare blend of heritage and heart.

Inside, you’ll find 8 unique bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom—designed for privacy, spaciousness, and the rare luxury of being truly held.

Expect forest views from your window. Expect quiet. Expect red squirrels in the trees and the sudden hush when a golden eagle passes overhead.

With a sunken garden, meandering forest paths, and 1.5 miles of private riverbank along the Spey—including 15 named and storied pools—the land itself becomes part of your reset. Here, you’re not just accommodated.
You’re remembered.

Nourishment from the Inside Out

Throughout the retreat, a private chef will prepare seasonal, soul-nourishing meals designed to support your slowing down and softening. Rooted in the rhythms of the land, each dish will be crafted with care—warm, grounding, and abundant. This is food that feeds your body and your becoming.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

This is not an escape. It is a return. If your body feels this, lean into it. Gift yourself this transformative experience—a retreat designed to nourish your soul, realign your energy, and honor your deepest needs. Prioritize yourself, your growth, and your healing. Because when you take care of yourself, you radiate that care into every part of your life.

Your journey begins here.
