Story and Soul Retreats
Story and Soul Retreats offers immersive journeys through the Scottish Highlands.

You’ve asked what we’ll actually do on the Soul of the North Retreat this November . . so pour yourself a cuppa and let me paint the picture!
This is a week shaped by the land, the weather, the stories, and what you need when you finally arrive.
We open the week the old way: gathered in Carn Liath Broch, passing a ball of red yarn hand to hand. The red yarn of fate, tying each traveller gently to the journey ahead. You’ll feel it in your fingers. You’ll feel it in the room.
One morning might begin with slow movement and the smell of coffee drifting through Forse of Nature. By afternoon you could be standing at the edge of a cliff with the North Sea roaring below, hearing the story that belongs to that place.
Expect:
- Ancient stones and ruined castles
- Wild coastlines and wide, wide skies
- A bracing sea dip if you feel called, followed by warmth, laughter, and the particular joy of putting dry socks back on
And the quieter moments:
- A journal open by the fire
- Breathwork as the light fades
- Hands busy with something creative
- A story shared in the dark
- A bat walk through the dusk, listening for wings you can’t see
Some days will stir something in you. Others will let something settle.
Throughout it all, there is choice. Join the adventure. Stay by the fire. Rest. Wander. Listen to your body. Nothing to prove and nowhere to rush.
This is Scotland beyond the postcard: elemental, storied and deeply alive.
And for seven days, you won’t simply look at it.
**You’ll become part of the story.**

✨ What if your November looked like this?
A quiet corner of the far north. No crowds. No rushing. Just space to breathe.
From **1–8 November 2026**, Soul of the North will be held at the beautiful **Forse of Nature**, tucked away near Latheron on the Caithness coast.
It’s the kind of place where the outside world feels very far away—peaceful, secluded and surrounded by the wild northern landscape. The perfect setting to **rest, relax and reset**.
Our itinerary is intentionally gentle. Alongside meaningful excursions, Highland storytelling and healing practices, there will be space to simply be:
📖 Time to read
✍️ Time to journal
🔥 Time to coorie in around the fire
🌿 Time to rest without feeling you should be doing something
✨ Time to reconnect with yourself
And if the skies are clear and luck is on our side, we may even see the Northern Lights dancing overhead—or, as we call them here in Scotland, **the Mirrie Dancers**.
This isn’t about filling every minute.
It’s about slowing down enough to notice the landscape, the stories, the silence—and yourself.

**Emma here…**
Nearly a year ago, Kate and I travelled to Caithness to explore locations and capture photographs for the Story & Soul retreats we were dreaming into.
While we were there, we took a dunk in the *very* cold North Sea at Latheron Bay.
As we stood in the water, we heard a splash behind us…
A seal had appeared — and stayed with us for quite a while, swimming nearby as though it had come to say hello. 🦭
To us, it felt like a sign.
A little blessing from the sea that these retreats were truly meant to be.
Now, we’re inviting you to experience the magic of the far north of Scotland for yourself.
**Soul of the North** is a seven-day luxury retreat filled with wild landscapes, ancient stories, fireside evenings, ceremony, reflection and deep restoration.
If you’re travelling from the US, make your journey to Scotland about more than sightseeing. Come and experience it slowly, meaningfully and soulfully.

If your life has become a cycle of giving, performing, and pushing through, this is your sign to stop postponing yourself.
Story & Soul Retreats are not ordinary holidays with a little wellness added on. They are immersive journeys into the Scottish Highlands . . created for people who want to feel, see, and experience Scotland differently.
Co-created with Kate Graham, Shamanic Oracle Artist, and Emma Macaulay, local Highland storyteller and tour guide, every retreat is shaped by a shared vision for meaningful travel.
Emma brings the **story** — landscapes, history, folklore, and place woven into experiences that are deeply felt, not simply seen.
Kate holds the **soul** — creating space for rest, reflection, gentle practice, and the kind of reconnection that stays with you.
Together, we create something more powerful than a getaway: small, intimate retreats that give you both **wild Highland adventure and the space to slow down, reset, and hear yourself again. . . Link in Bio to find out more and book.
