RETREAT
Spend a rejuvenating weekend on the Scottish Isle of Arran at our thoughtfully curated retreat for practitioners of all healing modalities. Immerse yourself in the embrace of ancient woodlands and coastlines, forage with Wild Food Arran, and enjoy curated conversations to deepen your connection and understanding of the Wood Element within, and without. Invigorating sauna and sea dips, beach combing, essential oils and acupoint therapy, and more.
IMMERSE
Deepen your connection with the Wood Element through an immersive, in-person experience that brings The Harmony Principle to life.
As we awaken presence, nature becomes our greatest teacher, offering wisdom through direct experience, reflection, and shared exploration.
This is a retreat from our practices so that we may return enriched, enlivened and enthusiastic.
MASTER
Mastery in any healing art unfolds through practice, presence, and continual renewal.
The Five Elements express themselves endlessly — in the landscape, in our clients, and in ourselves.
By creating time and space to honour your own process, you deepen your clinical insight and nurture your practitioner spirit.
Together, we’ll explore the Wood Element — vision, boundaries, growth, and regeneration — unlocking insights that expand your practice in both tangible and subtle ways.

Curated Conversations.
As practitioners, we know that the richest learning often happens in dialogue — when we listen, reflect, and witness each other’s experience.
Our Curated Conversations explore the psycho-spiritual aspects of the Wood Element — vision, growth, anger, direction, and renewal. Together, we’ll share insights and questions that arise in our relationship with and through this Element.
These sessions gently frame the rhythm of the retreat, helping you engage more deeply with your own Wood element within. They offer space to connect practitioner-to-practitioner, to see your own patterns mirrored in others, and to uncover where new growth is ready to emerge.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for practitioners of all healing modalities — acupuncturists, bodyworkers, herbalists, doulas, and energy medicine practitioners — who wish to deepen their intuition, refine diagnostic insight, and reconnect with their own energy and purpose.
Set within the Creative Cycle of Spring, Immerse invites you to explore the Wood Element through a Five Element lens — its movement of growth, renewal, vision, and emotional resilience.
Held on the Isle of Arran, one of Scotland’s most inspiring natural landscapes, this retreat offers ancient woodland, sea air, and open space — a living classroom where the senses awaken and new direction becomes clear.
"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.

Meet your host.
I’m Claire Dabreo, founder of The Harmony Principle and a Five Element acupuncturist, doula, clinical supervisor and mentor, and retreat leader based on the Isle of Arran.
My work bridges clinical practice with seasonal energetics, helping practitioners and clients alike to reconnect with nature’s cycles as a pathway to balance and creativity.
Immerse is an invitation to pause, recalibrate, and connect more deeply to the natural world.
