RETREATS IN 2026

Every autumn we get together for a week at a Retreat in the Scottish Borders.

What can you expect at one of our Retreats?

Apart from great company, there are walks and talks and discussion sessions.  There are exercise classes and a daily massage.  The food is all vegetarian or vegan and mostly organic, it is all prepared fresh each day and Retreaters are encouraged to get involved with food prep if they would like to do so.

This year’s dates: Saturday 3rd to Friday 9th October 2026

Our annual Retreat at Howford House in Peeblesshire will go ahead again this year. If you are interested in taking part in this Retreat, please contact Joanna on kingstonfile@gmail.com

Testimonials

This was the 4th time I’d attended and now, several weeks later, I am still well aware of the very positive impact of being there. As in past years, I loved the ease and acceptance of this supportive community, where each finds their place whatever their background or experience. The larger group this year with a mix of newcomers and longer-standing retreaters, along with the 4 practitioners offering treatments, was especially rich, fun and informative!
