The Invitation
This is not a fitness retreat. There is no agenda to keep, no pace to match, nothing to push through.
You are coming to rest. To return to the version of yourself that lives beneath the noise — the one who remembers how to breathe slowly, soften, and listen to the trees.
Held in a truly special place I have found for us deep in the Scottish countryside, Soul Awakening is a few days set apart from the world. You will leave shifted — energetically, spiritually, completely.
Ancient Ground
Where stone, moss & ancient woodland remember
Old woodland that has stood through centuries. Mist that moves between the trees at dawn. The immersive sound of the woodland all around you — birdsong, running water, the wind through ancient branches — and the deep, earthy scent of moss, damp bark and forest floor. A place that awakens every sense and asks nothing of you but to slow down and arrive.
Sacred Practices
The elements that hold your awakening
Soulful, somatic, ancestral. Each practice is chosen to ground you, open you, and bring you gently back to centre.
◎
Somatic Breathwork
Guided journeys through the breath — releasing what the body has held, making space for what wants to come.
◎
Sacred Sound & Circle
Gathering in circle as people have for thousands of years — for connection, for release, for one another.
◎
Earth Grounding
Bare-earth practices to root you back into the land, the seasons, and the quiet rhythm of your own body.
◎
Deep Restorative Healing
Long, held stillness that lets the nervous system soften and the body finally remember how to rest.
◎
Energetic Healing
Gentle work to clear what no longer serves you and restore the flow of your own quiet energy.
What Awaits
Some things are meant to be felt, not described
Picture mist drifting between the trees. The pulse of a drum carried through the woodland. The hush of a Scottish dawn. Beyond that… we always keep the agenda a surprise.
Come with an open heart.
Let the rest unfold.
Let the rest unfold.
A Word From Shelley
My next chapter — the training, the journeys, everything I am about to learn — will pour straight into this experience.
I have poured my heart into finding the right place and the right way to hold you. This one is close to my soul. If something in you has just leaned forward… trust it. Your space is waiting.
Your Sanctuary
Pure luxury, all your own
This is where the rest truly begins — in high-end luxury lodges set quietly among the trees.
You will stay two to a lodge, sharing a beautiful two-bedroom luxury lodge with one other soul — yet each of you has your own private bedroom and your own double bed. Space to retreat. Space to breathe. Space that is entirely yours. Every lodge has its own hot tub set out under the Scottish sky, or an indoor jacuzzi within — quiet luxury waiting for you after each day’s practice.

Your own private bedroom
Two sharing a two-bedroom luxury lodge — each with a private room and a double bed of your own. Real rest, real privacy.
◎
Hot tub & jacuzzi
An outdoor hot tub beneath the sky, or an indoor jacuzzi within — warmth and stillness whenever you need it.
◎
High-end & serene
Beautifully finished, deeply comfortable lodges. Pure luxury chosen so nothing pulls you out of the experience.
◎
Space & time of your own
Time to yourself between gatherings. A quiet sanctuary to return to, process, and simply be.
