Imagine reconnecting with the very reason you fell in love with Bowen Therapy.

Time slows. The noise quiets. Your intuition sharpens, and suddenly—you remember the power of pause. Not just in your work, but in you.

At Beyond Bowen, you’re invited to say YES to yourself—as a practitioner, a healer, a woman.

In a luxurious Scottish mansion nestled in the wild beauty of the Borders, we’ll gather for five days of deep learning, deep rest, and deep remembering.

 

We’ll explore Advanced SBP1, dive into my Intuition Workshop, and mastermind ways to grow your practice with soul and flow. Mornings start with meditation. Days are filled with walks through glens, laughter by the firepit, stargazing, nourishing meals, and moments of quiet connection. This is Bowen beyond the physical—woven with fascia, energy, and the unseen forces that guide our work.

 

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a return to the soul of your practice—and the woman behind it.

Empower Your Soul with Creative Retreats in Scotland


By the end of this retreat, you’ll walk away feeling recharged, realigned, and ready to take your Bowen practice to the next level. You’ll deepen your understanding through Module 8 and Advanced Bowen, expand your intuitive skills, and gain fresh confidence to integrate it all into your sessions with clarity and authenticity.

This is more than a training—it's a chance to reconnect with why you started this work in the first place. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Scottish Borders, you’ll enjoy peaceful walks in the hills, grounding meditations, and fireside chats under the stars—nourishing both your personal growth and professional direction.

We’ll also explore how to talk about your work with more ease and impact, so you can attract the clients you’re truly meant to help. Expect insight, laughter, deep connection, and the space to remember your own healing power.

Luxurious Surroundings

Imagine spending six days/5 nights in a magnificent Georgian Mansion, nestled in the serene beauty of Selkirk. This stately home, with its expansive gardens and soothing fire pit, is more than just a venue—it’s a sanctuary. Here, you’ll be surrounded by luxury, comfort, and the peacefulness you’ve been craving.

Reconnect, Recharge & Revise

This retreat isn’t just a break from your routine—it’s a professional and personal deep-dive into the heart of Bowen Therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to revise Module 8, take part in the Advanced Bowen Procedures course, and explore how to work more intuitively with your clients for deeper, more lasting results.

In between structured learning, we’ll open space for masterminding sessions, where you can exchange ideas, ask questions, and gain inspiration from fellow Bowen practitioners in a supportive, uplifting environment.

You’ll walk the Scottish hills, gather by the firepit under the stars, and feel the connection—not just to others, but to yourself and your purpose as a practitioner. Morning meditations, nourishing meals, and time to breathe are all part of this carefully crafted experience.

By the end of this retreat, you’ll return home not just refreshed, but reinvigorated—with new skills, deeper confidence, and a stronger sense of direction in your Bowen journey.

Intuition, Revision & Rest

Imagine reconnecting with the very reason you fell in love with Bowen Therapy.
Time slows, your own body and intuition sharpen, and you’re reminded of the power of pause—not just in your sessions, but in your life. You begin to feel again, to listen again, to align again—with your purpose, your passion, and your inner knowing.

At the Beyond Bowen Retreat, you’re invited to say YES to yourself as a practitioner, a healer, and a woman.

Step out of the daily rhythm of giving to others and into a space where you are held. This is a chance to recharge, deepen your understanding of the nervous system, fascia, and energy, and explore how Bowen works beyond the physical. Surrounded by like-minded women, you’ll be supported in both your personal growth and professional confidence.

This is more than a retreat—it’s a return to the soul of your practice.
