The Rock & Rose Adventurers
The guides, holders and nourishers who walk beside you on every journey.
The hearts that hold your journey
Every Rock & Rose journey is held by a small circle of souls who each bring their own gift: guidance on the land, steady hands behind the scenes, healing for the body and a table laid with love. Together we walk the Grail path of the divine feminine, following Mary Magdalene and the Christos Sophia through the sacred lands that remember them. Meet the people who will be with you.
Lisa Marie
Lisa Marie spent thirty years following the call of sacred landscapes around the world, from living with our Anangu Pitjantjatjara family, the Sacred Guardians of Uluru, to deep earth work at Angkor Wat, before devoting four years to Scotland where the Grail codes awakened within her.
Guided by synchronicity, ancient remembrance and a lifetime of communion with Gaïa, she has become a guide to Scotland's most transformative landscapes and the hidden wisdom they hold. Through Rock & Rose Adventures, she now leads those who are called to these most sacred and Holy Lands.
For it is not so much that you who are called will remember the land… but the land will remember You.
Dan Thompson
Dan is an aeronautical engineer and pilot whose precision and clarity bring essential grounding to every journey, holding steady while others step into transformation. His presence is the ballast that allows seekers to surrender safely to Scotland's sacred energies, knowing they are held by someone whose life has been lived in alignment, attentiveness and love.
Met by Lisa at Tintagel Castle and bound by love forged at a waterfall in the Azores, he navigates both terrain and spirit with the same quiet mastery, ensuring every traveller finds their way home.
Laura Highsmith
Laura spent decades building businesses and developing property in Seattle, mastering the art of creation and control, before discovering the profound wisdom that lives in letting go and being with what is.
A lifelong traveller whose obsessive attention to detail transforms the practical world into a seamless passage for seekers, she understands that true grace emerges when we surrender the need to manage every outcome. As Operations Director for Rock & Rose Adventures, her meticulous care and hard won presence create the invisible architecture that allows transformation to unfold safely. For Laura knows that the most powerful invitation we can offer is permission to simply be.
Kelly Butchart
Kelly Butchart walked away from twenty two years in education, including four years as a Headteacher, to answer a deeper calling to guide women through spiritual awakening and heart led remembrance. Grounded in Heartology, Gene Keys, Theta Healing and Silent Counselling, she has become a bridge to each woman's own truth and the wisdom held deep within her essence.
Facilitating the White Rose Retreat alongside Lisa and Victoria, Kelly holds the sacred frequency that allows transformation to land in body and soul, helping each traveller move beyond striving into authentic remembrance. For it is through the heart that we find the way home to ourselves.
Victoria Louise
Victoria of White Rose Wellbeing is a natural healer and yoga teacher whose quiet, intuitive presence has guided women through profound healing for well over a decade. From her home in the Dedham Vale she weaves Yin and Restorative yoga with her own Mind and Body Alchemy and Soul Transformation Therapy.
Her gift is embodied transformation: supporting women to return home to themselves through gentle healing and self discovery, creating space for greater freedom, presence and peace. As our guide in movement and rest she holds a space so safe that the body finally feels able to soften and let go, trusting in the innate capacity to heal that lives within us all. This is her quiet devotion.
Emily Crichton
Emily Crichton has spent her life in service to two great loves, food and people, learning that to feed someone well is one of the oldest and most tender forms of care. From her home in Perthshire she has cooked across Scotland for shooting parties, family gatherings and intimate elopements, and for households as storied as the Earl Cadogan's, her eclectic table moving between Mediterranean and Levantine flavours while honouring the produce of Scotland and Britain.
As chef for the retreat she turns each meal into a feast befitting the occasion, meeting each guest with warmth and grace. For Emily knows that true nourishment is the quiet feeling of being thought of, cared for and welcome.
Charlotte Caird
Charlotte Caird has spent more than twenty five years in music as a classically trained musician, so sound has always been her first language. After becoming a mother she turned towards gentler, more natural ways of healing, and when a friend took her to her first sound bath she knew she had found her path. From her studio near Blairgowrie in rural Perthshire, she weaves Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, drums, chimes, tuning forks and her own voice into deeply restorative journeys of sound.
Charlotte holds a Diploma in Integral Sound Healing from the Academy of Sound Healing and is trained to practitioner level in Biofield Tuning. On our retreats and tours she leads our sound baths, wrapping the whole circle in vibration so the body can soften, the nervous system can settle and something deeper can be heard. Her work blends ancient wisdom with modern technique, tending body, mind, heart and spirit as one.
Tina Moncrieff
Tina Moncrieff is at one with nature. Her years as a gardener and a lifelong love of wild places shape everything she offers, and her nature inspired studio in Pitlochry, Highland Perthshire, brings the outdoors in. Tina is a fully qualified massage therapist, trained at The Complementary Therapy School in Edinburgh and The Ayurveda Pura Academy in London, and a 200 hour Yoga Alliance teacher, trained in Hatha, Vinyasa Flow and Restorative yoga with the Lakshmi Rising School of Yoga in Costa Rica.
On our tours and retreats Tina offers aromatherapy, Swedish, deep tissue and hot stone massage alongside gentle, nurturing yoga that welcomes every body, whatever your experience. Her hands and her teaching hold a calm, grounded space where you can switch off completely and feel at home in yourself again. For Tina, taking care of yourself is one of the most beautiful acts of love there is.
Conkers Magical Earth Academy
Rock & Rose has a little sister by the sea. Conkers Magical Earth Academy is our demystified mystery school at Upton Country Park in Dorset, guided by Merlin and created for the new, highly advanced children here now and those yet to arrive.
Here the children make magic potions, craft wands and dragon eggs, talk to the trees and meet the faeries, mermaids, dragons and Elementals. Education is entirely child led, so every child's natural gifts, sensitivities and extra sensory perceptions are seen, heard and nurtured.
Families now travel to us from all over the UK and from Spain, Dubai, South Korea, Germany, New York, Hong Kong and Australia. Conkers is the seed of child led New Earth education, and we are building these schools all around the world.
Conkers Hong Kong
We are soon opening our second site in Hong Kong, carrying the magic of Conkers across the world to the new children and their families.
Conkers Magical Facilitator Training
If you feel called to work with the new children, our facilitator training prepares heart led guides to bring child led New Earth education to their own communities, online and in person at Upton.
