Transformational Retreats
Fìor Retreats are a sacred return — to the land, to your body, to the whispers of your soul.
Designed for visionary individuals and small groups of founders, leaders, teams and families, these are not your average retreats. They are immersive journeys into clarity, ancestral connection, and deep nervous system restoration. Each retreat is an invitation to remember who you truly are (perhaps for the very first time) — beneath the pace, noise, and distractions of modern life.
A Return to What We’ve Forgotten
There’s a deep and growing longing in our modern world — for connection.
To the earth. To our lineage. To ourselves. To each other.
Centuries before psychology or neuroscience had a name, there were village healers. People who worked with herbs, ritual, story, and fire. They understood what science now confirms: ceremony, rhythm, and nature regulate the nervous system and rewire the brain toward balance and safety.
At Fìor, ancient knowing meets modern insight.
Each retreat brings immersion in nature, clinical expertise, emotional depth, and intuitive intelligence with community, ceremony, storytelling, and a deep reverence for the medicine of the natural world — the land, the ancestors, and the unseen threads that bind us.

My Story
This work — guiding others back into communion with themselves, the land, and our interconnectedness — is deeply personal for me.
After my father died two years ago, I continued the ancestral research he had begun decades before, tracing generations of Gaelic healers on both sides of my family. That journey led me to a year-long Celtic wisdom school and a pilgrimage through the west of Ireland, and Scotland — where I stayed and studied in a village north of Edinburgh, the same one where my ancestors (both Christian and pre-Christian) lived and tended to the land.
Through all of these journeys, I experienced firsthand what our ancestors always knew: the land itself carries magic and medicine. It lives in the herbs, the wind, the firelight, the stories told around a table, and in the silence between.
I connected deeply with the locals (many of whom, it turns out, I’m actually related to) — and learned more about my direct lineage than the internet could ever tell me. Over foraging walks, cups of tea, pints, and what the Scots call a “daunder and a blether,” these generous new (old) friends shared endless stories of the land’s magic, and of those who had tended it.
I wasn’t the least bit surprised to learn that long before the area was given its modern name — before my ancestors served as clergy to Mary Queen of Scots, who once played as a child in those same forests — the site had been a sacred Bronze Age settlement used for ceremony and ritual…over 3000 years ago.
In other words, my ancestors — men AND women — were spiritual AF.
And honestly, that revelation made my own life make so much sense.
I’ve always needed both the science and the sacred.
I’m a trauma-trained psychotherapist, certified in EMDR and several other evidence-based therapies that I’ve been using in my clinical practice for over twenty years. My brain loves data, analyzing patterns, and the practical application of tools to create change and healing.
But my soul needs so much more than science.
It craves ritual, mystery, nature — and the ancestral threads that tether us to something much, much bigger than ourselves.
The Medicine Work
For those who feel called — Fìor Retreats may also include psilocybin-assisted experiences, led by our certified facilitators.
These are not your average guides who spent a few weekends “training” with mushrooms.
Our facilitators hold advanced degrees in psychology, are licensed therapists, and bring decades of clinical experience to everything they create. They’re trauma-informed and trained in modalities like EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).
Equally as important, they hold deep personal reverence for the medicine, the land, and the wisdom of our ancestors.
We believe the call to this work is deeply intuitive and synchronistic…that the pull to journey finds you when you’re ready. Each journey is grounded in reverence for ancestral tradition, supportive ceremony, a strong container of comfort and safety, and thorough integration care afterwards.
This is not about escape. It’s about remembering: coming home to your body, your soul, the land, and our deeper currents of lineage and belonging. And then carrying that knowing and empowerment back into all aspects of your life.
And it is, truly, magic.
