White RoseRetreats

This retreat is a women only gathering of just ten, held for women who feel a quiet pull toward something deeper, even if they cannot quite name it yet. Some come to rest after a long season of giving to everyone else; some arrive at a threshold or turning point; some are simply drawn to Scotland and to a richer relationship with their own soul. You do not need years of spiritual practice or any experience of yoga to belong here. You need only an open heart and a willingness to slow down and receive.

You will be more than alright; you will be held from the moment you arrive. Most of our guests come on their own, and the magic of a small circle of ten is that you arrive as a stranger and leave with soul family.

Rock & Rose Adventures was founded by Lisa Marie, who has been travelling solo for thirty years, since she was sixteen, much of it alone through the wild places of Scotland; she knows the flutter of nerves before a journey like this, and she has shaped every detail so that you never have to navigate anything by yourself. A group transfer carries you from Edinburgh with the others, the days are gently guided, and there is always a warm hand to settle you in. Coming alone is one of the bravest and most rewarding things anyone can do, and you will be in the safest of company.

The retreat is held at Dungarthill House in Perthshire, in the heart of Scotland, across seven nights. Our first circle gathered from 15 to 22 September 2026, and dates for 2027 are being finalised now; register your interest below and you will be the first to know.

Check in is from 5pm after our visit to Rosslyn Chapel on the first day, and we depart together after breakfast at 10am on the final morning, with the house becoming our home for the whole week.

The excursions are gentle and unhurried, with no hard hiking and no need for any particular level of fitness. Most involve easy walking on woodland paths and around sacred sites, always at a soft and mindful pace, with plenty of time to pause, rest and simply be. Some ground can be uneven or a little soft underfoot, so comfortable walking shoes are all you need.

If you have any mobility needs, a health condition or anything that affects how far you can walk, tell us when you book and we will quietly adapt the day so you are fully included; there is never any pressure to do more than feels good for your body.

Dungarthill House is a beautiful country home of light filled rooms, four poster beds and quiet corners to retreat into. Rooms are private or semi private, so you have a true sanctuary to return to each day, with comfort, warmth and plenty of room to exhale. Let us know your preference when you book and we will do our utmost to honour it.

Food here is one of the great joys of the week. Meals are fresh, seasonal and plant forward, with premium Scottish meat and fish, prepared with love and shared in the warm company of the group. Every dietary need and preference is gladly catered for; you simply let us know in advance and the table is made ready for you. Packed lunches are provided on tour days.

Each day unfolds with its own gentle rhythm, balancing exploration, restoration and remembrance, with spaciousness held at the centre of it all. Throughout the week, you can expect:

• Daily gentle yoga with Victoria, moving through Hatha, Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra
• One individual Mind and Body Alchemy session with Victoria
• Heart led transformational sessions with Kelly, including Gene Keys exploration and soul gift discovery
• Sacred site visits and excursions led by Lisa, exploring Scotland’s mythology, history and ancient landscapes
• An opening cacao ceremony and intention setting circle
• A deeply restorative sound bath
• Healing, ceremony and restorative practices
• One individual massage treatment
• Nourishing, seasonal meals shared in the warm company of the group
• Time for journaling, reflection, rest and integration
• A return group transfer from Edinburgh Waverley

No experience of yoga, ceremony or spiritual practice is needed. Everything is offered softly, as doorways you are free to walk through in your own time, and each practice is gently guided so beginners feel just as at home as those who have walked this path for years. What you take part in, and what you choose to rest from, is entirely yours.

The week has a natural flow and structure, and there is always space to step back, sleep in, walk the grounds or simply sit by the fire. We hold the container; you move through it at the pace your heart asks for.

Our time together begins on the afternoon of the first day at the breathtaking Rosslyn Chapel, just south of Edinburgh, where we gather as a circle before journeying north to our luxurious home for the week. From there, Dungarthill becomes our base, resting close to one of the most storied stretches of land in Scotland, where two great earth currents, Belinus and Elen, weave together along the ancient pathway known as the Spine of Albion.

Over the week we journey out to sacred places held within this landscape: the old cathedral and ancient woodland of Dunkeld, the Hermitage with its rushing waterfall and towering trees, the ancient stone circle of Croft Moraig, Mary’s Croft, and the great Fortingall Yew, among the oldest living beings in Europe. Each visit is led gently by Lisa Marie and Daniel, weaving in the mythology, history and remembrance held in the land.

For those who would love it, there is also time for a spot of gentle shopping at the renowned House of Bruar, with a wander to the magnificent Falls of Bruar close by.

A return group transfer from Edinburgh Waverley is included for guests travelling with the group, so the journey is held for you from the moment you arrive. Dungarthill is easily reached from Edinburgh Airport in around an hour, from Glasgow Airport in around an hour and twenty minutes, and from Perth railway station in around twenty minutes. Detailed travel guidance is shared with every guest once your place is confirmed, whether you are coming from elsewhere in the UK or joining us from overseas.

Most guests travelling from the United States, and from many other countries, can visit the UK without a visa for stays of up to six months. You will, however, now need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation, known as an ETA, before you travel. It is quick and simple: you apply through the official UK ETA app or at gov.uk for a fee of twenty pounds. Approval usually comes within minutes, though it is wise to apply at least a few days ahead. A single ETA covers all of Scotland and the rest of the UK, and it lasts two years, so it will serve you well beyond your week with us.

We always recommend applying directly through the official UK government channels, as some other sites charge more. If you are joining us from elsewhere in the world, do check the requirements for your own country, and we are always glad to help.

Your place is secured with a deposit, with the balance payable ahead of the retreat, and flexible payment plans are available on request so the week can be spread comfortably. With only ten places, we suggest reaching out early to avoid disappointment.
