home / retreats / In the heart of the Scottish Highlands

This off-grid retreat will be rescheduled due to corona crisis  - In the heart of the Scottish Highlands

The power of time off. Immerse in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

The Rewild Yourself retreat gives you the opportunity to indulge in your passions and interests, to lose yourself and to find yourself; in UK’s last remaining wilderness, on the hillsides of the Scottish Highlands. 

Attendees will be asked to detox digitally and participate in sessions of silence to expand their consciousness. A daily meditation and yoga practice will help heal both your mind and body. Attendees will participate in a ‘solo-in-nature’ experience and swim in the wild to feel at one with nature. You will embark on hikes with the reserve ranger in the wilderness to explore and connect with your own nature. You can go off on your own along the glens and feel present in a ‘living painting’. Attendees will feel inspired by the locals and the management of this wilderness reserve who dedicate their time to creating a better world.

This could also be a great opportunity to bring your partner!

Origin
Escape to the heart of the Scottish Highlands, the UK’s last remaining wilderness, and embrace in the privacy of a truly wild environment. This Rewild Yourself retreat will be led by Ingrid Valks, a facilitator for natural leadership and an internationally certified yoga and meditation teacher. Ingrid brings over 20 years of experience in creating memorable live events with impact for corporations and non-profit organizations worldwide. In her business life she connected people with brands and organizations. Today she connects people with themselves and their communities.  

Rewild Yourself
Revitalize in nature, with simplicity and healthy food, in combination with body movement, mind training, silence and relaxation. A deep transformational experience to elevate your life. The title Rewild Yourself refers to Ingrid Valks’ belief that when you take time-off to spend time in nature, away from distractions, it will improve your general well-being, restore your body, recharge your mind and improve your ability to reconnect with yourself. The key for strong and long lasting partnerships, friendships and alliances.  

Ingrid has developed a programme which guides attendees to focus inwardly, enhance self-awareness and supports the development of new human-skills essential for 21st-century leaders who want to make an impact at work and on a more human world. This retreat is described as a complete internal reset, unleashing your potential to take leadership of  your personal and professional life. 

Individual journey
This Rewild Yourself retreat is centered around attendees’ individual journeys and joy. And although an individual process, the group will support you too. Sense and feel free to share, laugh or be still.

Location

A private wilderness reserve, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, has a story to share. With 100 square kilometers of wilderness it is a place of natural beauty and a nature conservation project too. It is a humbling experience to be stood atop one of the reserve’s many hills, gazing across a mountain loch, aware that there may not be another person for miles in any direction; enjoying the sense that you are part of it all.
