The Freedom Retreat
A retreat is defined as:
withdrawal to a quiet or secluded place; a quiet or secluded place in which one can rest and relax.
And that’s what I’m creating ✨
A true retreat ✨
A place where you can rest, relax, ponder, consider, reflect, explore, inspire, share.
No requirements on you, no judgement, no checking in on what you hoped to achieve, no achieving required!
No wake up times, no 5 sessions a day, no learning here.
Just space. Time. Quiet. Freedom. Choice.

Questions
I need to confirm our booking with Kinnaird House in October to guarantee our dates. Also 35 people have said they’re interested, so if you’d like a place, please let me know as soon as you can. Even if you would like a place, but would like to start your payment plan at the end of October for example, just let me know and I will do my best to save a space for you.
I will arrange taxi/minibus transfers from and to Pitlochry station for those pals who intend to arrive by train. I will ask people to get to Pitlochry station for 4pm on Tuesday for the minibus. The minibus will pick you up from the house at 10am on Friday. You can also drive if you live nearer – there is parking space for 5 cars.
Yes of course! All pals’ dietary requirements will be catered for. You’ll be able to tell me this when you book.
If you need to cancel part way through the payment plan, your payment plan will stop at that point. If I can find someone to replace you, I will issue you with a refund, minus £150. If I’m not able to fill your space, I’m afraid I won’t be able to offer you a refund.
No, Dave and I will be staying in a cabin in the grounds of the house, so while he will be in the kitchen at meal times, he won’t be taking part in the retreat.
We will have the entire house to ourselves. The owners – Esther and Rene – live in a cottage at the rear of the house and Dave and I will stay in a cabin in the grounds of the house. We have the whole house and huge front garden to ourselves, as well as a private hot tub.
Pal, you and your beautiful brain are SO WELCOME. First of all, please know that any and all organised things (few as they are!) are 100% optional. Secondly, the living room will be a designated quiet zone during the day time, with the dining room as the chat zone, with quiet, relaxing music playing. If there is anything you are worried about, or would like me to consider, please just drop me an email or DM.
There will be some Prosecco, wine and beer in the fridge, along with Nosecco and Alcohol Free beers. There will also be lots of squash, juice, fizzy pop and other options.
