Four days. A private Highland lodge. A small group of people ready to do the real work.

This is not a holiday. It is not a conference. It is an invitation to stop, look honestly at your life, and choose what comes next — with Ali Levin beside you every step of the way.

Every element designed with intention

🧘

Morning Yoga

Daily practice with Tina to open the body before the mind's work begins. All levels warmly welcome.

🗣

Deep Coaching

Morning sessions and guided evening conversations with Ali. Expect honesty, challenge, and space to grow.

🏔

The Landscape

Scotland does something to you. The hills, the loch, the light at 10pm — nature as co-therapist.

🍽

Fully Catered

Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. A fully stocked pantry. Food that nourishes, unhurried evenings at the table.

🌊

Highland Adventures

A guided walk with views to Schiehallion, a sunset evening at the HotBox spa, paddleboarding on Loch Tay, the WildEmber Bothy sauna — each day has its own adventure.

🏡

Private Lodge

Seventeen acres of Perthshire grounds. Hot tub. Red squirrels. The kind of quiet you can't manufacture.

A programme that moves

Arrive & settle in

  • From 4pm
    Arrival at Farleyer Lodge
    Come when you're ready. Unpack, take a stroll in the 17-acre grounds, sit on the terrace. The sun stays up late in Scotland — use it. The hills are right there waiting.
  • Evening
    Dinner & First Gathering
    Our first meal together — unhurried, warm, and the beginning of something. Ali will guide you through setting your intention for the weekend. You'll meet your fellow travellers and realise you're in the right room.

Set the ground

  • Early
    Morning Yoga
    A grounding practice to wake the body before the mind gets to work. All levels — Tina will meet you exactly where you are.
    With Tina
  • Breakfast
    Silent Breakfast
    An unusual and quietly extraordinary gift — breakfast without conversation. Notice what comes up in the silence.
  • Morning
    Morning Session with Ali
    Three hours of the work that doesn't happen in a 50-minute coaching call. We go in.
    With Ali
  • Afternoon
    Guided Hill Walk
    A walk through the Perthshire hills with a local guide, with sweeping views across to Schiehallion. The kind of air that clears everything.
  • Optional
    Sunset at the HotBox ✦
    After the walk, an evening at Taymouth Marina's HotBox — a panoramic sauna with views straight down Loch Tay, an outdoor hot tub where you watch the sky turn gold and pink as the sun sets over the hills. Steam room, piping hot showers, fluffy robes, a bar and terrace to linger over. Gloriously, unapologetically indulgent.

    Optional extra — open to those who want it

  • Evening
    Dinner & Guided Conversation
    A long table. Good wine. Ali guides the conversation — not a debrief, but a real exploration of what moved in you today.

  • Breakfast
    Silent Breakfast
  • Morning
    Morning Session with Ali
    The second session builds on the first. We go further. Expect to be challenged, supported and surprised by yourself.
    With Ali
  • Afternoon
    Choose Your Afternoon
    Your afternoon, your way. Paddleboard on Loch Tay then step straight into the WildEmber Bothy sauna at the loch's edge — alternate between board and sauna, cool off with a wild swim or cold plunge, repeat. Or wander into Aberfeldy village — there are wonderful curio shops, good coffee, and the kind of afternoon that asks nothing of you. Or simply stay at the lodge with a book and the hot tub. All good options.

  • Evening
    Dinner & Guided Conversation
    The heart of the weekend. Our finest evening together. We name what we've discovered and begin to shape what comes next.

Integrate & depart

  • Early
    Morning Yoga — Landing
    A slower, inward practice. Space to arrive in yourself before the weekend closes.
    With Tina
  • Morning
    Closing Session with Ali
    We close the circle. You'll write a letter to your future self — sealed, and posted to you later. What you write today, you'll read when you need it most.
    With Ali
  • Midday
    Farewell Lunch & Departures
    One last meal together. You leave different from how you arrived — and you'll know it.

Red squirrels in the garden. Deer in the field. Owls after dark. An eight-person hot tub on the terrace. The River Tay nearby. This is what exclusive use actually means.

Make the most of Scotland

Extend your time

Scotland rewards those who linger. We're happy to help you plan more.

Edinburgh

Scotland's capital is 1.5 hours from Aberfeldy — one of Europe's most beautiful cities. The Old Town, Arthur's Seat, the castle. Worth a day before or after.

St Andrews

Ancient university town on the North Sea. Cathedral ruins, the Old Course, cobbled streets and some of the finest seafood in Scotland. About 2 hours east.

East Neuk of Fife

The jewel of the east coast — Elie, Pittenweem, Anstruther. Whitewashed harbours, the Ship Inn on the rocks, golden beaches. One of Scotland's best-kept secrets.

Everything you need
to know — practically

Getting there

Fly into Edinburgh (EDI) or Glasgow (GLA). Aberfeldy is 1.5–2 hours by road. We can help coordinate transfers from both airports — just ask.

What to pack

Layers. Then more layers. In Scotland in September you can genuinely get all four seasons in a single afternoon. Trainers are fine for the walks. A waterproof is your best friend.

Water activities

All wetsuits and buoyancy aids provided for paddleboarding and canoeing. For the HotBox and Loch Tay activities — just bring yourself and a towel.

Food & drink

Fully catered breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout. Stocked pantry. Please share any dietary needs when you book and they will be accommodated.

Yoga

Morning practice with Tina each day. No experience needed — all levels welcome. Mats provided. Wear something comfortable.

The group

This is a small, private group. Spaces are very limited. What's said in the lodge stays in the lodge — all sessions are confidential by nature.

Ready to apply?

Spaces on this retreat are limited and carefully considered. Register your interest and Ali's team will send you a short application form — this helps us make sure the retreat is the right fit for you, and you for it.

Register your interest to apply

There is no commitment at this stage — simply an expression of interest. Ali's team will be in touch within a few days.

Know someone who needs this? Friends, family, colleagues — anyone in your world who is ready to take the wheel. We'd love to have them join us. Forward this freely.
