Susie & Lisa invite you to join them for a nurturing Spring Equinox Retreat in the luxurious setting of Balinakill Country House on the unspoiled Kintrye Peninsula in Argyll, Scotland.

This retreat is perfectly timed for the Spring Equinox and we will be harnessing that energy throughout the long weekend giving you an opportunity to rest, reflect & release the shadow of winter, preparing for the increase in energy to come and plant new seeds of intention for the season.

Expect Yoga, Nia Dance, Qi Gong, Mindfulness, & Yoga Nidra; plus song, creative expression, nature walks, wild swimming, delicious food & blissful sleep.

The Equinox is often thought of as a time for “rebirth” so give yourself the opportunity to take a break, renew and set a new direction, if you so wish!

The retreat runs from the evening of Thursday 18 March to Monday 22 March 2026.

All food will be professionally catered and provided whilst on retreat. Our Chef is Gillian from Slow Life Argyll, she’ll be staying on site to cater for us. Her food is seasonal, and much of it she grows herself. Different dietary requirements can be catered for, but please do ask before booking if you have specific needs.

The whole of Balinakill Country House is at our disposal over the 4 days. There are beautiful grounds, a comfortable lounge, bar area suitable for games, sauna, and plenty of nooks to hide away in for quiet time. There will time for quiet reflection and at breakfast we will encourage silence to allow everyone time to be with themselves and their thoughts.

This will be a sober retreat so no alcohol will be offered or allowed.

The cost of the retreat varies, depending on the room you choose to stay in. Prices include all meals & snacks and teaching sessions.

• £975pp - for a bed in a shared room

We truly hope that you will consider joining us on this blissful Equinox retreat. We held our first Spring Equinox Retreat in 2026, which was so well received we decided to hold another one. There’s something beautiful about coming together at this time of year, on the cusp of change.

We hope that you will find time to deeply rest, find a more mindful pace, connect to your spring energy and unlock a deeper understanding of yourself.
