"These days, we spend more time indoors or in cars commuting - leaving little time for deep inner journeys or quiet walks in the woods.

An archipelago of beautiful and remote islands just north of the Scottish mainland, Orkney is an easy one-hour flight from Edinburgh, Scotland or a short scenic ferry ride from Scotland's dramatic northern tip. Beyond the important archaeological sites, the area is home to charming villages, rugged cliffs, and abundant wildlife - including seals, eagles, and a Puffin breeding colony the group will visit.
Participants will commune with the energies of the land through hiking, meditation, and journeys into the past. They will also go on a solo mini Quest in nature under MacGregor's supervision.
