A little retreat to welcome the returning light, tucked away in the beautiful Scottish Borders — an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and make space for yourself as winter begins to soften and the first hints of spring appear.

Hosted by Sam Gray, founder of Fern Bothy.

Think longer days, fresh air, muddy boots, warm fires, nourishing food, wild landscapes and the gentle promise of new beginnings.

Come for the whole weekend and make it your own. Join in as much or as little as you like. There’ll be plenty to enjoy, but just as much permission to do absolutely nothing.

🌿 Relaxing yin yoga to restore, unwind and reconnect

A weekend to welcome back the light, shake off the heaviness of winter and reconnect with yourself and the changing seasons.

No pressure to be productive.
Just good food, fresh air, cosy surroundings and a little space to breathe.
