Salt, fire & Stillness

A few times each year we host a small, guided immersion for women who want to step out of the noise and back into the elements. Cold sea, simple food, yoga, a shared silence and wild landscape create the conditions for the body to soften and the nervous system to settle. Nothing to fix, nothing to achieve — just space to be held by land, weather and water, and to remember what feels natural.

There will be exploring, cold water, breathwork, meditation, yoga, possibly sauna too, and plenty of cake

Rum is an amazing location to take time out and just be, to have space and go with the flow. This isn't about fixing yourself, its about remembering how it feels to be warm and cold, still and alive, alone and together.

Four women. One wild place.

What we'll do

We invite you to join us on our magical island where you will find space to breathe, stillness to quieten the noise and time to just be.

Fliss provides a guided swim experience, restorative breathwork and very tasty nourishing food. Linda provides gentle restorative yoga sessions, slow mindful movement to help your body let go.

This is a draft itinerary and some things will be weather and tide dependent. This is time to relax, spend time in silence, find some connection and possibly your wild side. If you want to let go and step outside your comfort zone with dancing, singing and howling, they are all optional!

With activities, as described below - unhurried and going with the flow.

Friday: I will meet you at the pier when you arrive on Rum and you can take a gentle stroll around to Ivy Cottage while I collect your luggage.

Once you are settled in, there will be tea and cake and an introductory chat followed by our first dip in the sea and a yoga session.

Delicious evening meal followed by an evening meditation.

Saturday: An earlyish start with an optional morning stretch and breathing exercise followed by breakfast

An adventure across the island to the beautiful beach at Kilmory in the north of Rum, where we can enjoy walking barefoot in the sand, a swim in the sea, a delicious picnic and simply enjoying the space around us.

Optional walk back to the village for those who want to or afternoon yoga.

Evening meal followed later by meditation before bed.

Sunday: Breakfast

A Hatha yoga session in the village hall, followed by a calming nature trail walk ending with a picnic lunch by the river.

An optional afternoon swim and yin yoga session.

Evening meal and a restorative women's circle to close the weekend.

Day 4: Yoga before breakfast today and afterwards a final dip or swim.

Closing chat over lunch and off to catch the ferry

Bear in mind the sea is cold, so swims and dips earlier in the year wont be very long but enough for you to find benefit from cold water immersion. Read more about cold water therapy here
