RETREAT

Spend a rejuvenating weekend on the Isle of Arran at our thoughtfully curated practitioner retreat. Immerse yourself in the healing embrace of ancient woodlands through forest bathing, connect with the ancestral energy of the Standing Stones, and find serenity in beachcombing and still-life drawing. Engage in crystal selection, invigorating sauna and sea dips, essential oils and acupoint therapy, guided conversations, and deeply nourishing self-care practices.

IMMERSE

Deepen your connection with the Metal and Water elements on this enchanting Scottish Isle through an immersive, in-person experience that brings our signature program to life. Designed to enhance your practitioner skills, this retreat engages all the senses in the healing process. As we awaken presence, nature becomes our greatest teacher, imparting wisdom through direct experience and deep connection. A unique offering for anyone interested in the Five Elements lens for healing practices.

MASTER

Mastering any healing modality is a lifelong journey—one that unfolds through time, practice, and presence. The Elements manifest in infinite ways, both in the natural world and in the individuals we support. By intentionally creating time and space for your craft, you nurture a deeper connection to your work, enhancing both your practice and the well-being of those you serve. Together, we will explore the themes of the Elements, unlocking insights that expand your understanding in profound and numinous ways.

"I created this retreat because, as a practitioner, one of my greatest challenges has been refining myself as an instrument of healing. True mastery goes beyond book knowledge — it requires a deep, ongoing commitment to cultivating a relationship with both nature and self."

Claire Dabreo, Founder & Five Element Acupuncturist.

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

This retreat is for practitioners of all healing modalities who wish to deepen their intuition, sharpen their diagnostic skills, and cultivate the ability to recognise and hold space for grief and fear, emotions deeply connected to the Metal and Water Elements. This is the ideal time in the Creative Cycle to deepen one’s connection with these elements and the emotional landscapes they govern.
