ACTIVATE ALIVENESS
A Transformational Breathwork & Adventure Retreat in Scotland
March 12–22, 2027 | Glasgow + Loch Lomond, Scotland
Only 9 Guest Spaces
Explore farther. Dive deeper. Come alive.
There are trips that show you beautiful places. There are retreats that invite you inward.
Activate Aliveness is both.
For ten extraordinary days, we are bringing together the wild beauty and adventure of Scotland with deep, intentional space for personal transformation. We will explore Scotland privately with our own Rabbie’s guides. We will walk the streets of Glasgow.
We will spend a week living on a private estate on Loch Lomond. We will gather around beautiful meals prepared by our private chef. We will spend four full days immersed in Integral Breath Therapy, yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, nervous system practices, reflection, rest, and integration.
There will be adventure days that take us out into Scotland and immersion days that invite us more deeply into ourselves.
There will be movement and stillness. Depth and ridiculous laughter. Exploration and rest. Connection and plenty of space to simply be.
This retreat was created for the person who is ready to dive deeper, explore farther, and come alive.
THE EXPERIENCE
Begins in Glasgow
March 12–14
Our journey begins in Glasgow.
Arrive by 4:00 PM on March 12 and settle into our city centre accommodations before gathering for our first dinner together.
The following day, we will explore Glasgow with a walking tour and time to experience the city before another dinner together that evening.
Then, on March 14, Scotland opens up.
Our private Rabbie’s guide will pick us up in Glasgow for our first full adventure day. We will spend the day exploring before making our way to our home for the next week.
And this is where the retreat changes pace.
OUR HOME ON LOCH LOMOND
Stuckdarach Estate at Stuckgowan
For seven nights, we will call a private estate on the shores of Loch Lomond home.
Surrounded by the landscape Scotland is famous for, Stuckdarach gives us the space to step away from everyday life and settle into something entirely different.
This becomes our place to gather after adventure days, breathe deeply during immersion days, share meals, rest, wander, laugh, integrate, and simply experience where we are.
Our private chef, Lulu, will prepare our meals at the estate, allowing you to completely step away from planning, cooking, schedules, and the responsibilities waiting for you at home.
Your job here is much simpler.
Be present. Breathe. Explore. Receive.
FOUR PRIVATE ADVENTURE DAYS
We love a retreat that takes you inward. We also believe Scotland should be experienced. That is why Activate Aliveness includes four full private tour days with Rabbie’s throughout our time together.
Rather than joining large public tours, our group will have our own private guide and transportation as we head out to experience more of Scotland. Our adventure days are intentionally woven throughout the retreat.
We begin with two days of exploration before our immersion, giving us time to experience the country, connect as a group, and settle into Scotland. After four days of deeper inner work, we head back out again.
We explore.
We laugh.
We see what Scotland has waiting for us.
Then, on our final day, we leave the estate for one last full adventure before returning to Glasgow for our farewell dinner.
The tours will be taking us to Glencoe, Oban, St. Andrews, Fife, all around the Highlands, and possibly out to Isle of Arran (ferry running permitting), and more!
FOUR DAYS TO GO DEEPER
March 16–19
These four days are the heart of Activate Aliveness.
After several days of travel and exploration, we stop moving from place to place.
We settle in.
Over four full immersion days, you will be guided through experiences designed to support deeper connection with your body, your breath, yourself, and the life you want to be living.
Our days will include:
Integral Breath Therapy
Yoga
Yoga Nidra
Meditation
Nervous system and embodiment practices
Reflection and integration
Rest and spaciousness
There will also be intentional free time.
You can wander outside, journal, read, nap, connect with someone in the group, sit quietly with a cup of coffee, or do absolutely nothing. We will have a marquee yoga studio on the property with heating, lighting, and weather protection for our full use.
There is no prize for filling every moment.
Part of this retreat is remembering what becomes possible when you finally have enough space to hear yourself again.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ESCAPING YOUR LIFE
It is about becoming more available for it. There comes a point when healing becomes about more than continually revisiting what has happened. We begin asking different questions.
What makes me feel alive?
What do I want now?
What happens when I have enough internal safety to expand instead of continually protect?
What parts of myself have been waiting for enough space to emerge?
What kind of life am I actually available to create?
Activate Aliveness creates space for those questions without requiring you to spend ten days being serious about your healing. We believe transformation can happen while laughing until your stomach hurts. It can happen while standing somewhere impossibly beautiful. It can happen over dinner. It can happen in stillness. It can happen through the breath.
It can happen when you step outside the patterns and responsibilities of your everyday life long enough to experience yourself differently.
Sometimes coming alive is profound.
Sometimes it is incredibly simple.
We are making room for both.

SCOTLAND HAS A WAY OF GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN
You can look at photographs of Scotland. You can watch videos of the Highlands and Loch Lomond.
You can hear people describe the history, the mountains, the lochs, the weather, and the way the light moves across the landscape.
Yet there are some places you simply have to feel to understand.
Scotland is one of them.
Now imagine experiencing it while giving yourself enough space to breathe deeper, listen inward, reconnect with your body, explore what is possible, and remember what makes you feel fully alive.
