The more closely we observe a place, the more deeply we begin to belong to it.

Autumn Field Notes is a series of three seasonal creative gatherings inspired by the changing landscape of East Lothian.

Together we'll slow down and notice the subtle shifts that mark the arrival of autumn — from changing light and ripening seeds to migrating birds and the changing colours of the landscape. Through observation, drawing and making, each gathering offers time to cultivate curiosity, develop a personal creative practice and enjoy the quiet details that often go unnoticed.

Ferment & Flourish: Sauerkraut & Pickling Workshop

Did you know fermentation is one of the oldest food practices in human history? For thousands of years, cultures across the world have used this simple process to preserve their harvests, boost the nutritional value of everyday vegetables, and support a thriving gut microbiome — long before anyone had a word for "probiotics".

Join me at Fern Bothy for a hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop where you'll learn the art of fermenting your own food from scratch. No experience needed — just curiosity and a love of good food.

What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release is a gentle, effective practice that works with the body’s connective tissue — known as fascia — to help release areas of tightness, tension, and restriction. These workshops offer a guided approach to self-myofascial release using massage balls and simple techniques you can continue to use at home.

Join us at part 2 - Upper Body Myofascial Release at Fern Bothy.

Jayne uses a nurturing mind-body practice called Sophrology - designed to restore calm, balance and emotional resilience. It blends body movement, breathwork, relaxation, meditation and visualisation, all grounded in principles of positive psychology.

Looking for a gentle pause this summer?

Join us for Summer Reset, a nourishing one-day retreat designed to help you slow down, move mindfully, and reconnect with yourself without leaving Scotland.

Held at the beautiful Fern Bothy in East Lothian, this intimate retreat blends yoga, Pilates, deep rest, and sound healing into a thoughtfully paced day away from the busyness of everyday life.

Whether you're feeling physically tight, mentally overstimulated, or simply craving some time for yourself, this retreat offers space to breathe, restore, and return home feeling lighter and more grounded.

This journey is for you if you're carrying something you haven't fully been able to put down.

The loss of someone you loved. The end of a relationship. A job, an identity, a version of life you thought you'd have. Whatever it is — if it's still sitting in your chest, this is for you.

Grief doesn't disappear because you stay busy. It waits. It shows up as tightness in your throat, heaviness you can't explain, or a numbness that's easier to live with than the alternative.

This session gives you a way to move it through.

Join Detour for a social bike ride and Vinyasa Yoga practice!

We’ll on Porty prom and ride around 12 miles to Longniddry, with plenty of stops to chat, hydrate and enjoy the scenery. The route is mostly made up of cycleways, gavel/forest paths and quiet roads, suitable for most bikes. We vary the route slightly each time to showcase hidden local paths and views.

Jorja will then lead a 1 hour Vinyasa class and will begin with grounding, breathwork and gentle mobilisation, before building into more dynamic flows. The practice will gradually wind down through calming postures and savasana.

You are welcome to peel off after class, or ride back to Edinburgh together!
