Overview:

Our Wellbeing Overnight Camp Retreats are immersive two-day experiences that take place in the wild beauty of Scotland’s natural environments. These retreats are designed to offer deep, holistic healing by combining various therapeutic practices with the rejuvenating effects of nature. Activities include sweat lodge ceremonies, which are traditional rituals for cleansing the mind and body, hammock meditations under the stars, team-building exercises like raft and shelter construction, and group discussions around the campfire. The retreat also offers yoga and breathwork sessions to enhance physical and mental flexibility, as well as archery and bushcraft skills to build focus and resilience.

Scientific Evidence:

Extended time in nature has been linked to lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Sweat lodge ceremonies, similar to saunas, induce deep relaxation and detoxification, improving cardiovascular health and reducing stress. Meditation and yoga are both supported by extensive research as effective methods for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and enhancing overall emotional health. Group activities like team building and campfire discussions create a sense of belonging and support, which are crucial for mental health and recovery.
