The Path to Peace Retreat

28th August-31st August 2026

Southwick, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

Step away from the rush of everyday life and return to yourself — in the stillness of the Scottish countryside, in the presence of horses, and in the gentle rhythm of nature.

The Path to Peaces Retreat is a 3-day immersive retreat designed to restore your inner balance through a mindful connection with the herd.

Guided by an experienced equine-assisted therapist, you’ll be supported to explore your inner world — not through pressure, but through presence.

Over the course of the retreat, you’ll experience:

  • Mindful time with horses — including grooming, leading, and simply being.
  • Therapeutic workshops exploring blocks to connection and paths back to peace.
  • Peaceful walks in the surrounding countryside.
  • An exploratory in hand horse trek to the local forest.
  • Gentle group reflection and support
  • Evenings by the firepit, under big skies.
  • Nourishing, home-cooked meals — all catered for (breakfast, lunch and evening meal)
  • Enjoy your stay immersing with the herd in one of our cosy bell tents complete with a wood fire stove.

All activities are designed in mind for all abilities and experiences — no prior experience with horses needed.

What will a typical day look like?

  • A campfire breakfast with the herd and a beautiful view.
  • Grounding movement and stretches with the horses.
  • Morning session (Therapeutic experiences with the horses).
  • Picnic lunch
  • Afternoon session (nature-based creativity, mindful walking, or horse connection)
  • Quiet reflection and journaling time
  • Evening meal
  • Fireside gathering, sharing, and connection under the stars
  • Each day will offer structure without pressure — a rhythm that supports deep rest and inner listening.
