Event ended

Spend one of the longest summer days outside, under canvas, nestled away in a cosy woodland near the Lammermuir Hills, and enjoy some hiking, a loch swim, some yoga, nature connection and so much more!

Setting up camp in the beautiful woodlands near Haddington, we will spend some time wandering and wondering, making the most of the daylight we will get all summer, watch nature in bloom, wake up to the dawn chorus, and simply enjoy being outside, away from the week's stresses, pressures and expectation, taking time to re-balance, ground and find our centre.

As a special guest we will have Hannah King along with us, Yoga Teacher and Mental Health Advocate, leading us through a grounding Yoga session in the morning.

Imagine skies full of stars, with a tent of your very own as well as a personalised packlist (provided for you)
